So we had Tricky Micky Arteta's press conference yesterday rather than today, which means we have something to stick our teeth into before this working week is done, which is nice. It must also mean that the team are making their moves up north today I'd imagine; probably because they got so lambasted by the [...]
So it turns out that football matches can, in fact, BE LOTS OF FUN! Who'd have thunk it, eh? Well, I say 'fun', but in reality - as is the case with this Arsenal team - we still managed to make a little chunk of the game difficult for ourselves in the second half, but [...]
Okee dokee, right, lots to get through so let's have at it. How about we start with: Henrikh Mkhitaryan Goodbye gentle prince, we hardly knew ye. He's off on a permanent deal to Roma, having had his super agent pal Mino whisper sweet nothings to Raul and Vinay to convince them that £200k-a-week off the [...]
There's quite a big caveat in the analysis of yesterday's draw away to Norwich. That caveat is that Freddie Ljungberg has had barely a few hours inputting his ideas into this set of players. So perhaps yesterday's performance still bore the hallmarks of Emery's Arsenal. The caveat that Freddie has had such little time is [...]
Happy match day folks. And it's a match day in which there exists much more optimism and hope as a result of a new man picking the team than we've had for some time. It's Freddie's Arsenal now and that means anything could happen today. Which is exciting. We could get a total change of [...]
It's finally happened. Yesterday morning Unai arrived at the training ground to prepare for the Norwich game this weekend and he didn't even get to put the cones out. By the time the first ball was kicked at London Colney he and his Spanish staff had been told that their services were no longer required [...]
There's plenty of chatter going on about Nuno Espírito Santo at the moment. He's the bookies favourite at the moment, in front of Arteta, Allegri and Benitez, the latter two being free agents shortly (Chinese Super League finishes soon) and therefore right up KSE's street if/when they decide time is up for Emery. And it [...]
The chatter about the new manager appears to be hitting up and, as you'd expect, rumours surfacing about Nuno Esperito Santo from Wolves have resulted in his odds being slashed and some bookies no longer taking bets. It feels like we're at the beginning of the end here for Unai Emery and the only question [...]
Morning all. It's Tuesday, there's still a whole heap of the week ahead of match day, and this part of the international breaks are always the worst. This is the part where any residue news from before the international break has dried up, the team news ahead of Saturday is still a few days away, [...]
The great thing about a Carrier Bag Cup game is that it throws all kinds of little Arsenal sub plots up and thankfully, in the end by the time the whistle had blown to see Arsenal through on to the quarter finals, this game against Norwich was no different. Step forward Eddie Nketiah with a [...]
