The all but official confirmation yesterday that Saliba would certainly miss tomorrow's game at the Etihad yesterday, sent a wave of Arsenal fans - your humble narrator included - into a wave of 'formation and play permutation bingo' and, I'll be honest, none of it was particularly palatable. We all know the issues of late; [...]
Still feeling down after Friday's result, you know. It's so frustrating because the basking in the glow of victory normally only lasts for a couple of days before you get in to starting to worry ahead of the next game. But that poor performance on Friday still has me reeling and as I said on [...]
I don't particularly want to dwell on Man City too much today, but given it is they who are currently in the way of a first league title for us since god knows when, perhaps it is inevitable that I - like many Arsenal fans I converse with online - are paying particular attention to [...]
Morning folks. Yesterday I put a tweet out about how I'd almost forgotten how rubbish Monday's are after a disappointing performance from Arsenal. We've been that good all season that out of the 28 or 29 match weeks (I know we are on game 31 but there have been midweek Premier League matches so sometimes [...]
Ahh man am I hungover. Started off with a stein at lunchtime and it slowly descended from there. So I’m feeling a bit fragile this morning. Don’t make my day worse Arsenal, please, I’m begging you. City made light work of Leicester City as we thought and so it means that if we want to [...]
Well we got our press conference from the boss yesterday and for me the one worrying thing that stood out was the Saliba update.

I'm going to be honest with you, seeing the Financially Doped Sky Blues (FDSB) of Manchester blitz their way through Bayern Munich last night has me somewhat concerned that they are hitting a level of form that everyone expecting from the start of this season. It seems it doesn't matter whether they are playing the [...]
There's still lots of introspection and online discourse as to whether or not Arsenal have 'ceded the advantage' or similar such wording, in relation to the title race. The likes of Gary Neville are saying things like "I still fancy City to win it" and to be honest with you, if you take your red [...]
Mikel Arteta and his players have said all season that their focus is - rightly - on themselves and not others around them. The party line has been towed since August and we've heard different iterations from both manager and his staff along the lines of "one game at a time", or "we're only focused [...]
Happy Monday party people - how we all doing? Feeling chipper after another win? Or are you like me and already becoming a bit fraught with the idea of going to Anfield to play the manifestation of a bi-polar football team that is Liverpool Football Club? This one coming up on the radar is one [...]
