Vibe check – Newcastle v Arsenal

By |2024-11-01T09:36:32+00:00November 1st, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, premier league|0 Comments

In the absence (at the time of writing) of any real team updates or press conferences from either of the two managers involved in our game tomorrow, I thought I'd do my bit of weekly snooping to see what the vibe is amongst the Geordies, ahead of our game against them tomorrow lunchtime. Sometimes it's [...]

A season-defining two week’s of travelling for Arsenal?

As we approach the first of four away games in a row, Arteta will have his thinking cap on today on who and how to deploy his resources for the next two weeks because, without sounding overly dramatic, I think this next couple of week's will shape our season. Tomorrow night maybe less so, although [...]

Honours even against Liverpool

In the pub before a ball was kicked, I said I would have taken a draw yesterday, so in the cold light of this Monday morning, it would be churlish of me to decry and bemoan the fact we dropped points against Liverpool yesterday. I was in a slightly unfamiliar territory in the upper tier [...]

Arteta needs a different game plan for Liverpool today

Big game today. VERY big game. Made even bigger, even tougher, by the fact we have a number of question marks over players. We know Odegaard and Saliba are 100% out, we can be pretty sure about Calafiori, but what about Saka? Timber? There are so many questions that we all want answered and all [...]

Arteta and Arne giving little away

One more day to go until the big showdown against Liverpool and the managers have both had their say. So, what have we learned? From Arteta As usual on the injury front, not a lot really, but I think none of us expected to get any real detail to be honest. On Saka, Timber and [...]

What are the ‘vibes’ for Arsenal and Liverpool fans this weekend

By |2024-10-25T09:14:14+01:00October 25th, 2024|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|1 Comment

All eyes will be on London Colney this morning as we all collectively pray for some happy news from Mikel's press conference. We won't of course get anything concrete, but that doesn't stop us getting all hopeful and slightly frustrated when he goes all cryptic, as he always does. It's not like when players are [...]

It’s ‘praying time’ for Arsenal fans this week

By |2024-10-24T09:24:40+01:00October 24th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Welcome to the part of the week in which we Arsenal fans should be calling this season: Praying time. It's that period in which we still have a solid three-and-a-bit days before we play, we won't get Mikel Arteta's press conference until tomorrow, so all we're doing is scrolling through endless speculative injury-update ITKs saying [...]

Arsenal need to up a gear offensively from now – starting with Shaktar

Spent the weekend at an AirBnB which had it's own sauna, cinema room, jacuzzi and pool this weekend, so when I woke up yesterday having watched the game on m iPad, I couldn't really be arsed to pen any thoughts. Why ruin a perfect Sunday ahead by re-living the memory, eh? A new week also [...]

Arsenal must play their game today, not Bournemouth’s

Tricky one, this one today, because Bournemouth are no mugs. As Arteta said, Antonio Iraloa has created a well-drilled, well-coached, progressive passing (they’re seventh in the league on progressive passing numbers just behind us, Liverpool, Brighton, City and The Scum) team who have not had some of the results they - and a few - [...]

The turbulent tale of Takehiro Tomiyasu’s Arsenal career

By |2024-10-15T08:03:12+01:00October 15th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Defence, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Are we being adversely punished or something, as Arsenal fans, eh? Last season we had plenty of people chirping that we'd barely had any injuries. But we were missing Thomas Partey for two-thirds of the season, Gabriel Jesus was out for big chunks, Zinchenko was missing a few times too. Smith Rowe missed seven Premier [...]
