I saw a Tweet from a fellow Gooner last night that made me chuckle. It said that now was a perfect time for Arteta to announce that Willian is starting the next two curcial games, given that Harry and Meghan seemed to be dominating all online noise with their 'revelations' last night to Oprah. I'm [...]

Happy Friday to you and your kin. I hope you are feeling fantabulous? More fantabulous than me no doubt, whose feline friend has discovered how to open does and so has taken to jumping on mine and The Management's bed at 5.30am in the morning to say 'hi'. But such is life, we just have [...]

Morning folks. Another Thursday rolls around. I swear these week's are just blending in to one. How are we coming up to a quarter of the way through the year already? I know we all want this current time of lockdown to get in the sea, but it does feel like you're wishing your life [...]

Morning folks and welcome to the middle of a non-Arsenal playing midweek. Isn't it just fascinating to see what unfolds in the media when there isn't some kind of mini crisis that is going on at The Arsenal, eh? After an impressive win against a team who are in the Champions League spots, there isn't [...]

Will Martinelli go the way of Maitland-Niles at Arsenal?

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. Ahh, a full week in which Arteta can prep his team for Burnley, in which we can still feel the positive vibes from the win against Leicester, a week in which the grumpiness and vitriol online should be kept to a minimum. Or at least you'd hope. It is [...]

So here we are folks. This will either be the latest in a number of important match days for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team this season, or it will be the last meaningful match day for Arsenal, as we take on Olympiak......sorry....Benfica....in Athens to progress to the next stage of the Europa League and [...]

Arsenal’s defeat to City: walking in No Man’s Land

I'm struggling to properly put my feelings in to proper context this morning, with regards to yesterday's defeat to Man City at home, because I have a mixture of disappointment and acceptance of what we all watched. When I write about Arsenal in a post match review of what went on I tend to view [...]

Can Arsenal lay a glove on Man City?

We had ourselves a video update from the manager yesterday ahead of the home game against Man City on Sunday and, as expected, Mikel Arteta was more than happy to wax lyrical about the team he was coach at just over a year ago. Of course all the way up there in Manchester we also [...]

Before this game began I looked at Benfica, looked at some of the players they had - the likes of Ottamendi and Verthongen as well as Rafa and Everton - and I was bemoaning our bad luck in drawing quite a high profile team in the first knockout round of this competition. This morning I [...]

Morning folks and welcome to match day Thursday, with the Europa League in our sights, as a trip to Benfica on the horizon. Well, I say 'trip to Benfica', but what I actually mean is 'neutral venue as part of two legs. Because As I bemoaned yesterday, the farce that is this current situation where [...]
