Morning all and welcome to the gateway to the weekend: Friday. These Friday's have become familiar to us, when we have to digest and dissect a game last night in the Europa League and thankfully, for the second week in a row, it is a victory that we are thinking about. Dundalk were dispatched with [...]

Where are the risk takers at Arsenal?

I'm still replaying that defeat from Sunday night in my head. The predictability of it is driving me insane. Dominate possession, not taking first half chances, VAR ruling out a perfectly good goal and then sucker-punched by Jamie Vardy as the game reached it's closing quarter of the match. It's maddening when history repeats itself [...]

Professional Arsenal progress against Leicester City in the Cup

Another win, another game in which we can take confidence from the team performance, another match in which Arteta is making his mark on this Arsenal team and we can all be happy about the fact that last night Arsenal progressed to the next round of the Carabao Cup. Even if the likelihood is another [...]

Tough to watch at times, but Arteta is building something – post Sheffield United thoughts

I like the world a lot more when Arsenal do the winning. It is way more fun. And even though yesterday's game - like the Southampton game - had plenty of parts that weren't a lot of fun to watch at times, I have to say the satisfaction by the end was very enjoyable. It's [...]

High hopes for Nicolas Pepe

Sigh...it's all still just transfer speculation at the moment. I feel like the closer we get to the start of the Premier League restart, the further it appears and whereas this time last week I was like "huh, nearly two week's and then there's some football on", now I'm a bit like "gimmie! gimmie! GIMMIE!" [...]

Arsenal’s attackers deliver end product against Newcastle

Well, I think it’s fair to say that yesterday afternoon’s home game against Newcastle United ended up being a lot of fun by the time it reached its conclusion, didn’t it? It all started with a curveball. Firstly from Arteta’s first team selection, then by the fact that Newcastle didn’t look as bad as I [...]

City future means nothing to Arsenal; Arteta planning all the variables

The big story of yesterday obviously doesn't include The Arsenal, but as always, when you hear a story the likes of the City one and the magnitude of it you start to apply your own thoughts relating to your own club. My first thoughts were "is Champions League now more attainable if fifth place gets [...]

Now I don't know about you, but I've enjoyed reading just about everything between last night's result and me writing today's blog. And I'm going to thoroughly enjoy today's blog from start to finish, that's for sure, because last night we won a football match and we did it in a way in which gave [...]

Hope more than expectation against City at home

I can't even remember a home match day in which I've been less optimistic than I am about today's match against Man City. I mean sure, city aren't exactly the dominant force they were last season and sure, defensively they look like they can be got at. But it feels like today we could be [...]
