Rest the players, but be excited as an Arsenal fan

Morning Gooners, how we all doing on this Sunday, eh? Me? I'm feeling a wee bit fragile, as I went to a gin festival yesterday and basically drank about a litre of different spirits, followed by going for a few drinks after and drinking wine and beer. They say it is 'Mothers Ruin'. They are [...]

Managing international Arsenal players and expectations

Morning folks. How we all doing? Feeling good? I’m feeling pretty good. Hurtling my way in to the Big Smoke for a day at the office, with little proper Arsenal news to speak of, hopefully meaning they’re all getting themselves recharged at the club so that ‘we go again’ for pre season and the new [...]

Is there an upside to all international call ups for Arsenal?

By |2021-11-09T07:28:24+00:00November 9th, 2021|Arsenal FC, Defence, Internationals, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

I've kind of gotten used to the fact that a number of our players usually get 'rest' time during the international breaks. We've seen other teams in the league see half of their squads go away, but we've been able to keep plenty of lads back  and have them prepare for the next Premier League [...]

Is Martinelli the ‘internal solution’ to a possible Lacazette exit?

I flicked BBC news on last night and as I watch half watching, half flicking through my Twitter timeline, I saw them talking about the international matches that took place last night. I count myself a proud man to have completely forgotten that there was international football on and if the Interlull can disappear as [...]

Elneny’s absence shows reckless internationals; no five sub rules is a DISADVANTAGE to Arsenal

By |2020-11-17T08:40:35+00:00November 17th, 2020|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Internationals, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

Well, it was always going to happen but yesterday it was confirmed: An Arsenal player has contracted COVID-19 and will now need to self isolate for two weeks. Mohammed Elneny is the victim of the virus and once again what this has done is highlight to me at least that these internationals are even worse [...]

Arsenal lord’s are leapin’ (in to jail)

My poor ol' lookalike. The one, the only, the Lord, Nick Bentdner, has been sentenced to 'jail' for a assaulting a taxi driver; a crime he thinks he did not commit. If only there was some kind of crack team of vigilantes (they themselves who had been victims of a crime of which they did [...]

Sorting contracts through enforced extensions; Draxler and Moura for Alexis seems obvious

By |2017-10-07T10:40:39+01:00October 7th, 2017|Arsenal FC, contracts, gooners, Gunners, internationals|0 Comments

I love it when i worryingly look at the international fixtures to see who's played from Arsenal, who's been broken and who's coming back with a severed torso, only to find that our players just haven't played. It's delicious. So when I see that Nacho was an unused sub, that Hector isn't even in the [...]

A week off from Arsenal just the ticket

Happy Saturday folks. It's a Saturday in which London is bathed in a bit of sun today, so I intend on making the most of it, probably by staying in and watching TV or by going swimming in the indoor pool in Uxbridge. Yep, that's the British way, dontcha know. The Arsenal Way has essentially [...]

Alexis survives! Shame that Mourinho does too though

Alexis Sanchez really is something else, isn't he? For the last week all we've heard is how broken he is, how his heavy strapping is keeping his hamstring from twanging like an old banjo, yet last night he managed 84 minutes and two goals. What a machine. It just highlights to everyone how much of a [...]
