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 [...]

Auba adds to Emery damnation; Smith-Rowe groomed as Özil replacement?

Still nothing really meaty from the club ahead of the weekend's fixture with Newcastle, but that's to be expected give that it's Thursday, as well as the fact it's a home game. Arsène liked to do easy on a Friday, being Spanish Unai preferred them later on in the day, but Arteta has so many [...]

There was a wee bit of reaction from my post yesterday, in which I suggested our summer 'war chest' may not be as big as we'd like. I had a couple of people suggesting I was talking a load of old nonsense. I don't deny that I do talk a load of old nonsense but [...]

Arsenal’s attacking problems aren’t the result of defensive stability

By |2020-02-04T08:55:05+00:00February 4th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Attack, Defence, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Morning folks. Happy Tuesday and all that jazz. I'm working from home today - benefits of a flexible company - and I've decided that I need a bit of fresh air in the morning. Only the fresh air of London isn't actually that fresh, plus it's pretty cold, so all-in-all it's not as great an [...]

Boring Burnley, boring Arsenal, boring draws and a boring Premier League

By |2020-02-03T11:41:22+00:00February 3rd, 2020|Arsenal, Arsenal Manager, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

well there are some things in life that feel as certain as death and taxes and, right now, Arsenal drawing and Burnley fans booing absolutely anything they could possibly muster are such things. Yesterday's 0-0 was our 13th in a season that has seen us only lose six games, but only win six and these [...]

Silence booey Burnley by a quick start, Arsenal

Morning all and welcome to match day. Have sampled the delights of a  Saturday 3pm kick off a couple weekend's ago, we've had it whipped away from us with another Sunday game, this time with an away trip to Burnley kicking off at 2pm this afternoon. Ahh Burnley, with the 'booiest' fans in the Premier [...]

Arsenal’s Mari stance is spot on

By |2020-01-29T07:37:05+00:00January 29th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

So it appears the transfer Merry-go-round for Pablo Mari has once again swung around Arsenal's way, as reports from Brazil last night were saying that Flamengo have accepted Arsenal's desires and will make the deal for him to join us this January, one that will only be a loan with an 'option' to buy rather [...]

More injury questions for Arteta and Arsenal

You've got to love our collective optimism as Arsenal fans, followed by the 'edge of a cliff' melancholy, that comes as a result of Arsenal doing something slightly differently and out of the norm with the usual regime. I am, of course, talking about the press conference that took place yesterday. Arsenal's pre-game pressers are [...]

Auba missing gives a dry run for next season’s Arsenal

By |2020-01-14T07:11:31+00:00January 13th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Arsenal Transfers, Attack, Defence|1 Comment

So I see plenty of noise about Sergio Aguero and his scoring record on my Twitter timeline at the moment. The man has just surpassed Thierry Henry in terms of Premier League goals to become the highest overseas goal scorer. Quite a feat indeed and he deserves the praise being afforded to him. But don't [...]

Should Arsenal be happy with a point in mitigating circumstances?

By |2020-01-12T09:44:48+00:00January 12th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Morning from a bright but cold Belfast. It's a weekend away for the wife's birthday and so yesterday's lunchtime kick off and the fact we were out and about meant I didn't actually get to watch the game in full yesterday, but I followed what was happening and saw a few of the key moments [...]
