The ‘Meh’ – Part I

In what will inevitably now feel like the longest end to a Premier League season ever, Mikel Arteta will today be subjected to quite a painful press conference experience, I'd wager. Not only does he have to sit in front of the press and talk about the fallout from the PSG defeat and exit in [...]

Injuries cost you everything – comparing Liverpool 2023/4 with Arsenal 2024/5

With Liverpool ostensibly going to win the league this weekend, naturally all of the talk has been about them, the great work that Arne Slot has done, how impressive they have been. So naturally with Arsenal not playing this weekend, that's taken a little bit of my focus today rather than the usual look at [...]

Trent situation a cautionary tale for The Arsenal

I see that the Scousers are all getting a bit heated of Trent leaving for Real in the summer. As Arsenal fans, we of all people know the pains of contracts being run down - or the perception of it - so rather than banter them off I'm offering a little sympathy this morning I [...]

Eyes on the ball (and prize) for Arsenal against PSV tonight

Liverpool have been rolling the dice and getting so many sixes this season, that when I went to bed at 10pm with it into extra time, I just expected to find out this morning that they'd won 5-0 on penalties. But they're out, the media fawning over them winning the quadruple that we were witnessing [...]

We had the ‘Ice Man’, but do we now have the ‘Ice Kid’?

I don't think i've ever spent as long staring at my phone in relation to an Aston Villa game in my life as I did last night. As the clock ticked in to added time it felt like the five minutes that was on offer (of which seven were played in the end...interesting...) lasted an [...]

Webb’s PR nonsense back in force in the never-ending MLS red saga

Happy Wednesday folks - hope you and yours are well. I don't know why I bothered to check out the farcical pantomime that was "Match officials mic'd up" whilst browsing through Sky Sports' website last night on the way back from work, but I did. And it was the review of the MLS red card [...]

The numbers suggest Arsenal’s season is similar to Liverpool’s last season

I was round my parents yesterday for the weekend and as I was starting the prep for Sunday roast with the old man I decided to put the game on between Liverpool and Wolves in the second half. It was 2-0, I wasn't expecting anything other than a slow canter towards three points for the [...]

The football gods giveth and they taketh away for The Arsenal…

Yesterday I was writing about the rotten luck we've had this season in the wake of the Kai Havertz rumours. It felt like we couldn't get any more bad luck this season, the level we've had from pretty much August onward, but then I forgot the propensity of the footballing gods to keep on battering [...]

The February / March ‘block’ will define Arsenal’s season

It kind of feels like an international break right now, doesn't it, eh? There's a bit of radio silence save for the odd snap of the team in Dubai, the players will all be flying back today so we'll not get much content of interest other than them boarding the plane to head home, then [...]

Don’t put all your eggs in the Dubai trip

Happy Sunday folks. Hope you're all doing well. Still feels weird that most of the footballing world (in terms of Premier League Teams) are playing this weekend and our players are sunning themselves in Dubai. I know how relentless it all has been over the last six weeks or so, but I was listening to [...]
