Arteta’s faith in the wrong players will get him sacked – Man City review

In isolation this game is a bit of a 'meh' one that you can just put in a box and move on with your life. Man City win this competition every year, they are miles better than us, they have players who will punish teams very easily. But the problem we have at the moment [...]

Just compete tonight, Arsenal

Tonight Arsenal play Man City in the League Cup and surely I’m not alone in thinking: Meh. I mean sure, I want Arsenal to win and sure, it would be great for morale, but with a few players out through injury and a hectic Christmas period that will see us play Chelski on Boxing Day, [...]

Frustration at Arsenal playing within themselves against Man City

Ahh man, do I feel frustrated this morning, after that result yesterday. Going up to Man City and being in the game, losing by the odd goal, is nothing to be ashamed of. But I can't help but think there was a real element of us not rolling the dice at times yesterday against last [...]

Starting the Partey tonight? Formation options for Man City

Morning folks and welcome to another matchday in another weird fanless season. Today it is another one of those dreaded trips up to Manchester and just because I am the kind of person who likes to inflict misery on myself, I decided to try to work out how many times in the League we have [...]

Arsenal and Arteta deliver a tactical masterclass against City

Morning people. And what a good morning it is, because we’re waking up today knowing we’re into another FA Cup Final and, unbelievably, it was done by a performance which showed a level of grit and determination that Arsenal have rarely shown in modern times. Yep, it was ‘backs to the wall’ Arsenal who beat [...]

Liverpool ‘do an Arsenal’ to provide us with a boost ahead of Saturday’s cup game

Well knock me down with a feather duster, I did not see that result coming, not in the slightest. A 2-1- home win against the champions and a game that I like to call a classic 'Champ Man Skanking'. If you're old enough to have played Championship Manager in the 90s and early 2000s you'll [...]

Man City preview: How will Arteta react to City’s obvious threat?

A match day blog. How about that then. I've almost forgotten what one of those looks like. But here we are a mere 12 or so hours away from the resumption of this Premier League season and even though we're playing City, even though we're probably losing tonight, I'm still excited. My expectations have been [...]

Arteta’s presser shows us a statesman

Hold the phone, we have ourselves a press conference, which means football has never felt closer! And I'm giddy like a little schoolchild. So perhaps I should take some time to hold my hands up and admit that I didn't think I'd feel this excited when the lockdown and postponement was of the Premier League [...]

Talking horrible Arsenal kits and ‘what might have been’ with Vermaelen and Eduardo

By |2020-06-10T09:02:36+01:00June 10th, 2020|Arsenal FC, History, injuries|0 Comments

Morning folks, happy 'middle of the week' day. I don't like it when people call if 'hump' day - makes me think there's some sort of orgy on a school night. Most unacceptable. What's also probably unacceptable is those leaked Arsenal kits. The home one I can just about tolerate, but the away and third [...]
