Happy hump day folks. Hope you're all feeling good? I bet London Colney is feeling good at the moment, which is just as well, because we face a very tough task in Leicester City on Saturday. As I was on my morning run this morning, I thought about the game at the weekend and how [...]

Morning morning Gooners, hope you’re all feeling fan-dabby-dozy on this here Thursday morn? Todays blog is coming to you from inside a BA aircraft, as we take a wee short trip up to Northumberland for The Management’s family birthday dinner on Saturday night. Annoyingly, it means that I can’t make my way up to the [...]

Getting back in the Arsenal saddle

Thought I'd jump back in to the writing saddle this morning, having stepped away having had 11 days away from The Arsenal. That Newcastle defeat hit me hard. I have a natural defence mechanism as an Arsenal fan; I tend to think the most pessimistic outcome is the most likely one, then when it happens [...]

Arteta talks a great game – we need it on the pitch NOW

Morning party people, happy Friday! Let's hope that this weekend might bring that most precious of things: goals and three points to The Arsenal! I don't know why I'm starting off today's blog with such unbridled positivity, because I've woken up at 5.15am and I feel absolutely shattered. Plus there's a leaving party at my [...]

COVID curse for Arsenal? Where have all the midfielders gone?

By |2021-09-08T07:11:40+01:00September 8th, 2021|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Arsenal Transfers, injuries, midfield, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Could all just be rumour. Could just be 'The Internet' and 'Internet People' being all 'Internetty', but with ESR not in the Under-21s England squad yesterday, as well as not being in the squad for the full international team over the weekend, the rumours started to circulate that Emile was 'ill' and in the current [...]

No Partey MUST mean we Sambi against Brentford

Morning folks. Happy Tuesday n’all that jazz. Hope you and yours are doing fine. We’re at T-minus ten days and counting until the kick of to the Premier League season and I don’t know about you, but I feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation about the season ahead. What isn’t helping is that it [...]

Arsenal tick all of the boxes in routine win over Newcastle

I must admit to you that I thoroughly enjoyed that Arsenal game against Newcastle. If you're going to write a script on the perfect match before a big European Cup Semi Final game to prepare, that one yesterday was almost a perfect situation. Resting key players: Check Getting minutes for returning players: Check Feeble opposition: [...]

‘Routine victory’ not in Arsenal vocab

My my my. We really are something, aren't we, eh? Clock ticking down, time running out, 11 minutes plus stoppage time to turn what would have been a disappointing draw away to Olympiakos in Athens and up steps forward two unlikely goalscorers with two super goals to put us in control of this two-legged tie.

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 [...]

Arsenal Squaddies prove they aren’t up to it in the Cup

What a disappointing performance that was yesterday. And there is emphasis on the word 'performance' really, because that's what I think warrants more discussion and debate than the actual result itself. We all love the FA Cup. We've seen Arsenal win it more than most and certainly in the last 20 odd years Arsenal have [...]
