I think we're going to get to the point in which, despite having stockpiled a billion players over the summer, this squad is soon going to start looking thin. Such is the curse with injuries we are getting, with Odegaard now rumoured to be out until after the next international break in November, that if [...]
With the Interlull tedium now fully enveloping us all, as I was on my morning run, I was thinking about "what are the best possible outcomes for The Arsenal for this upcoming international break/weekend?" I have concluded that the following would be rather nice: Calafiori's legs don't implode Last season it felt like every time Riccardo [...]
To continue the theme for this season, which feels like a bit of a hangover from last season's luck, we find ourselves once again asking: Are we not allowed nice things? Arsenal confirmed that Martin Odegaard had suffered medial collateral ligament damage on Saturday with his clash of knees in the game against West Ham. [...]
I watched the Chelsea versus Liverpool game on the tube home from The Arsenal last night, then finished off the second half in my kitchen as I cooked a big juicy ribeye steak and as well as being the result we all wanted, the game itself was a proper good game of basketball football. Liverpool [...]
In the cold light of the next day, last night's 2-0 win against Olympiacos felt like a routine Champions League three-pointer against an opponent from a - with all due respect - inferior league, that shouldn't really warrant too much thinking about. Indeed, Arsenal dominated the first half and probably should have put the game [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
Well we have heard from the managers now, with both doing their usual niceties talking about each other, which we’ve all come to expect given how close they are as friends. Pep did a little flippant comment about how if Mikel wins the league it is not because of him or his team, but because [...]
Is it safe to come out? Did every Arsenal player make it out in one piece? It sounds like it to me. Even in the early hours of the morning with the Brazil game, mercifully Big Gabi and Martinelli were both unused subs, as the Selecao went on to lose 1-0 away to Bolivia. That sounds [...]
Happy hump day people. The only down side to this particular one, is there is an intolerable international break that is getting in the way, with Arsenal not due again out on the green stuff until the Saturday after this one against Forest. I'm still trying to process the summer transfer window though. I'm focusing [...]
I spent the day out yesterday having a walk with the Management. We went to the pub for lunch and she kept saying "why do you keep looking at your phone? What are you watching?" "Videos of the Eze signing" **Wife rolls eyes** It was good content to absorb yesterday and with the bank holiday [...]
