Well, here we are, ladies and gents. Time to strap ourselves in because this is the big one and this is a test that this Arsenal team simply must pass if it wants to be in contention for the top honours going in to the end of the season. The period over Christmas in which [...]
There was Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday and whilst there was a flurry of questions that he answered about Liverpool, team news, young players, the transfer window, etc, I think I'll spend the vast bulk of today speaking about Thomas Partey, who Arteta confirmed had a set back in training this last few days and [...]
Here we are at Friday, the transfer window has closed, we've made no incomings, there have been a fair few outgoings, but they've all been younger players on loan or released because they had contracts running down/would have been low value releases anyway, so all-in-all it's been a quiet one and I think if we're [...]
Greetings from a warm and sunny Maldives. The Management and I arrived yesterday and have a week away from the cold weather in the UK, which is lovely, although it has it's drawbacks as I had to give up my ticket for the Palace game yesterday, which was the evening over here. And as I [...]
Happy matchday folks! Hope you're all good? Excited for The Arsenal finally being back today? I know I bloody am! It feels like it's been AGES! It's almost as if it's been worse than an international break, for some weird reason, as I recently pointed out here. But it's back, The Arsenal are back, there's [...]
Happy Friday folks, hope you guys are all good? It'll be press conference day today ahead of the Palace game and with less than two week's until the transfer window closes I think it's inevitable that Arteta is once again asked the question on whether there are any incomings happening this January and, inevitably, he [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday, as we tick ever-closer towards that game against Palace for the 12.30pm kick off on Saturday lunchtime. I'd asked for a marginal gain of Everton and Palace going to extra time last night and whilst it was unfortunate that it never happened, the fact that Palace put out a strong [...]
Morning folks and a happy Monday to you and yours. Well...as happy as a Monday as you're going to get when there's been no Arsenal on and you've had to sit through a Man United versus Tottenham game in which both sides looked a little bit pants. The night before I'd watched a ding-dong of [...]
I didn't expect Newcastle to do us any favours yesterday, did you? Nah, didn't think so. Even when they went 2-1 up and there was only 30 minutes left to play, I was like "they'll probably lose". And they di, with the cheat code that is De Bruyne. I don't know about his barnet choices, but [...]
At halftime of yesterday's game I stood in the concourse of the North Bank blowing warm air on to my hands. I was cold, but what I'd seen in terms of the way Arsenal had approached the game and outplayed Liverpool had warmed my heart. Arteta had made a few changes to mix things up [...]
