Have you bought in to Project Arteta?

Afternoon folks and welcome to another weekend, this one on the eve of what feels like it might be #Lockdown2 in the UK unfortunately. It's going to be another tough winter and for those who are struggling to look for a new job, like Huss Fahmy, it might be a difficult Christmas. Yes indeed, the [...]

Dundalk ahead, but my mind is on being Mike Dean’d at Old Trafford

Morning all and welcome to another middle of the week nothing-a-thon. I am of course talking about Arsenal and perhaps unsurprisingly given the general level of malaise felt around our performance last weekend, it is all a little quiet from the club at the moment. I'm kinda ok with that though. Long gone are the [...]

Freddie’s off and is Gabriel finally in?

Another day, another exit, and once again sadly it’s not from the playing staff (I say ‘sadly’ because we all know we need to trim that squad rather sharpish) but from the back room. Freddie ‘we love you’ Ljungberg leaves the club to pursue his management career. I think I speak for every Arsenal fan [...]

Loans and long transfer windows; Arsenal have little time to sort stuff out

Imagine how great it must be to know that the probability of your team getting a penalty is at least every other game? That's what United have been treated to this season as, yet again, a penalty went their way. A very, VERY, soft penalty that I'd wager for seven or eight teams out of [...]

Auba’s contract length was wrong; why signing Willian doesn’t make sense

If Saturday’s results - including The Arsenal’s - were a positive day for us, then yesterday’s were the opposite, as Everton rolled over and let Chelski blow raspberries on their bellies, whilst Man City played the possession-based game of how to be toothless against A United side who had their number early on in the [...]

Arsenal beat United. Arsenal are ‘fun’ again. Bring on 2020.

Now I don't know about you, but I've enjoyed reading just about everything between last night's result and me writing today's blog. And I'm going to thoroughly enjoy today's blog from start to finish, that's for sure, because last night we won a football match and we did it in a way in which gave [...]

Are Arsenal going to ‘Arsenal’ it in Manchester tonight?

Howdy from a Gooner Stateside with jet leg. I don't get it - I thought that was only supposed to happen going East, not the other way around, so I'm finding myself beat by 10.30pm and up at 5.30pm at the moment, which is not how I plan on spending my holiday in a place [...]

Is Emery devolving too much power to The Arsenal players?

By |2019-09-27T06:58:58+01:00September 27th, 2019|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, gooners, Gunners, premier league, Tactics, Unai Emery|0 Comments

I can't decide in my own mind if Emery's decisions to let the players pick their five captains is a good bit of management, giving them the opportunity to have more investment in the running of the team, or a sign of weakness because he doesn't want to make a difficult decision. Rob Holding has [...]
