All eyes on Saka

I didn't really touch too much on comments in the wake of the United game about Bukayo Saka, made by Arteta, when asked about him. But I suspect just to re-iterate the situation he'll definitely be asked about the forward today in his press conference. Mikel's comments on Sunday were that his progress was good [...]

Turgid at Old Trafford as toothless Arsenal hit another low block

At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]

Low key United-Arsenal game that we still need to probably win

It's a big one today As Arsenal face off against Manchester United in an epic top-of-the ta... ..Oh wait, it's not. I love how Sky Sports have tried their best to dress this game up as having some kind of significance, when in reality: A win for Arsenal does nothing other than keep a bit [...]

Calafiori up top isn’t the answer, movement across the whole side is

This weekend's game feels like one of the most low-key of games against United that I can remember. I've been watching Sky Sports attempt to build it up as some kind of crunch match, but I think all of us know that it really isn't anything of the sort: United have nothing to play for [...]

No jeopardy, no creativity, no spark at Arsenal

After the defeat to West Ham at the weekend I took a bit of time away from social media and blogging. That defeat was the nail in the coffin for any lingering title hopes and I just didn't feel like dipping back into the Arsenal world to lament and stew on what has been a Seasonis [...]

That last little bit of hope ebbs away for The Arsenal

I enjoy writing. I always have. It's kind of my hobby. It's why I work in Marketing - I enjoy writing content and I get to do it (less so these days as I run a team that does most of it) in my job talking about the industry I work in. It's why I [...]

I think Arteta’s Sterling/Merino decision is closer than we might all think

Before we get on to today's task against West Ham at home, a word on the draw for the Champions League, which see's us up against PSV in the Round of 16, with victory in that tie meaning we'd be up against either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid. A win there takes us to the [...]

West Ham under Potter will provide somewhat of an unknown quantity for The Arsenal

Morning Gooners and happy Friday to you and yours. We've got Mikel up later today at some stage and he'll give us a  team update, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the inevitable 'Big lad Merino up top Mikel?" questions from the journalists. It could go a few ways; he could pour [...]

Does the Merino project have a shelf life?

Last night I was cooking dinner and I flicked on Sky Sports to have in the background. Almost immediate as the first feature story they had one of their reporters outside London Colney talking about the role Merino played at the weekend, whether he could be 'the guy' in at number nine for us for [...]

The numbers suggest Arsenal’s season is similar to Liverpool’s last season

I was round my parents yesterday for the weekend and as I was starting the prep for Sunday roast with the old man I decided to put the game on between Liverpool and Wolves in the second half. It was 2-0, I wasn't expecting anything other than a slow canter towards three points for the [...]
