Is Arsenal’s injury curse back?

A later one from me today, as the new job means conference calls first thing on a Friday, but given that it's been an interlull week I guess that it doesn't really make a lot of difference. Ol' Unai has taken to doing his pressers in the afternoon anyway so it's not like I have [...]

Press high, force Fulham into mistake, and minimise your own, Arsenal

A 12pm kick off is a funny old thing. It's the earliest type of kick off you get in the Premier League and whilst I'm no fan of Sunday games anyway, I can tolerate these more because it still feels like you have something of a day after the team have played, although only if [...]

Nacho’s deal is pragmatic, Özil’s rest is welcome, but Gazidis isn’t

Morning you wonderful sexy bitches, you. Well, it is for me as I write this now, having flown out to New York for the weekend with my company for a bit of a jolly. So the next couple of days will probably be somewhat disjointed blogs, although I will be waking up at 9am to [...]

Torreira will help unleash our full backs

Morning fellow Gooners. It's been a bank holiday week in the UK which means the week is one day less. So why the frig does it feel like I've already done a day longer than normal? Might have something to do with the fact I'm offski to Portugal tomorrow evening but still, this n'half dragging [...]

Deadline day looms as defensive questions are asked

Well it's all been pretty much confirmed and after yesterday's Kroenke news I've obviously had my say in yesterday's blog. This morning I wake up resigned to the fact we are powerless to do anything. There are talks of protests, or not turning up to the first game, leaving the seats empty and showing Kroenke [...]

Emery’s tinkering of Arsenal formation keeps us guessing

That's it then. Final match preparations have been completed, a 2-0 victory against Lazio was secured, an Arsenal performance in which some of the returning players got valuable minutes and as is par for the course for The Arsenal, a positional crisis as we now seem to have both of our left backs injured for [...]

Sokratis arrives, Japan depart, but what about Monreal?

Morning all and welcome to Tuesday, which is unsurprisingly being billed as "a nation expects" this evening in England with my birth country playing against David Ospina's lads of Colombia. The fact I'm opening with the World Cup and not the fact we finally, formally, announced the arrival of Sokratis from Dortmund for around £15million [...]

The sun, the goals, the comments – West Ham match review

Yesterday's game was always going to be more of an emotional and nostalgia-infused affair after Wenger's announcement on Friday. It was a warm day with that April sun that sometimes greets us at this time of year in London, all adding to a very carnival and friendly feel to the game, almost like when it's [...]

Arsenal’s rampant new attacking era? Everton match review

I thoroughly enjoyed yesterday's match from the first minute to the last. I generally hate evening kick offs on a Saturday because they pretty much ruin any chance of going out in the evening for me given travel home, etc, but if we played like that every week then i'd happily accept any time to [...]
