There was a very clear 'sliding doors' moment in our victory against Man United yesterday. Clear to me, anyway. As Bruno Fernandes stepped up to take United's penalty after a silly handball by Tavares in the second half, it felt like United had the momentum, they were pinning us back and if they scored that [...]
There should not be a single Arsenal player, member of the coaching staff, or fan, that underestimates the difficulty of today's home game against Man United this lunchtime. This will be a tough game, make no mistake. Firstly, United will be hurting after the absolute tonking they got at Liverpool. That's a fixture those lot [...]
Morning Gooners and happy Friday bestowed unto thee. I'm still feeling good about The Arsenal after that surprise win on Wednesday night. It was everything you'd hope from the Arsenal team but what I've been repeating in my mind is the tactical approach by Arteta and how he got it so spot on. I find [...]
Happy Sunday campers - hope you guys are all doing well? No proper football until tomorrow evening, but despite the fact I thought to myself that I wouldn't bother watching Man United beat Leicester City yesterday evening, I flicked on the TV in the kitchen last night as I was cooking to see what was going [...]
Having to do today’s ramblings via my Smartphone unfortunately, so going back to pre-pandemic ways, which means the high probabilities of typos and other such predictive text nonsense. So please bear with. But what’s been going through my mind today has been - unsurprisingly perhaps - the ‘permutations’ of the remainder of this season. I [...]
Mikel had his press conference yesterday and of course the natural course of events is to first find out about the team news. The good is that Emile Smith Rowe is back having trained a couple of times after contracting COVID last week. The bad is there is still no sign of Tomiyasu. My biggest [...]
I always have this thing in my head during the season that if one team who is fighting for similar honours to Arsenal drops points, it can be seen as a good weekend. Last weekend when we beat Brentford it was great, but it felt like there was not a lot of advancement because the [...]
It's a watching brief for us Gooners this weekend, as our game against the scummy False-Positive-Victims-FC Liverpool is postponed until mid March with their involvement in the League Cup. Part of me is quite pleased about that right now, because it means no stress of being worried about what Arsenal do, about dropping points, etc. [...]
Well, we all survived the over-commercialised nonsense that is Valentine's Day, so we can get on with our lives and focus on the really important things, like how Arsenal are preparing ahead of facing off against Brentford next weekend. The good news is that it looks like Tomiyasu is back in training and that is [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another week. But what a weekend from an Arsenal point of view, eh? For the last two months or so we've seen team after team have games in hand over us, been calculating the permutations of those teams around us winning their games in hand, looking at the table and [...]
