Howdy all. One day closer to the weekend and for a change, a day even more closer towards The Arsenal playing, which is nice methinks. The manager did his press conference yesterday and spoke about the injury to Bellerin, he spoke about United and also on transfers. There's not much point in me going over [...]
Tuesday is upon us friends and what I always like a about Tuesday after a Sunday game, is that it's usually when all of the stats boffins come out with their analysis on matches, firing xG charts into the great beyond of the internet and generally telling us why the game should, or shouldn't, have [...]
Happy Saturday folks. It's one of many this season in which Arsenal aren't playing but yesterday Unai spoke to the official site about the game tomorrow and there's a word he said a few times that keeps ringing in my head as I compose some of my usual garbled thoughts this morning: Balance. Unai spoke [...]
Morning gooner. It's one of those rarest of things in the UK today - bank holiday - which means a bit of s lie in and a morning spent in me PJs watching the Unai Emery press conference again, as well as some more fall out from the victory against West Ham. I don't really [...]
Unai Emery delivered his second press conference of the new season yesterday and I think it's fair to say it was a mixed bag for us. The positives are that he's getting to grips with the language more every week and it feels like he should be able to deliver a pretty flawless presser by [...]
Gee golly it's cold here in London. The deceptive cold. The cold that when you look outside from your windows you see beautiful sunshine and crisp white powder on the ground and think "how beautiful" but when you step outside and try to avoid the ice you think "how treacherous". That, plus the fact that [...]
Here we are at the end of a week in which we've lost our longest servant, are in the verge of losing arguably our best player (although that's debatable this season), still have to see any large-value replacement come in but could be on the verge of at least two very exciting transfers. It's quite [...]
Friday is press conference day today and we'll get an Arsène Wenger masterclass in deflection today I suspect. After all, his team have been pretty blunted way from home all season and as a result we've never really broken into any form of any real meaning. But tomorrow provides an opportunity to pick up points [...]
I love the optimism of some players. Well, when it comes to certain players, I might add and specifically, those who have gone from "is he good enough?" to "first name on the team sheet". Step forward Nacho Monreal. Not only has he turned out to be a pretty fine centre half, keeping other more [...]
I thought about blogging yesterday but given Arsène was doing his presser at 8.45am, I thought I'd hold off until today before I compiled some thoughts, so here I am trying to make sense of what he had to say when sitting in front of the assembled media. Firstly, having read and watched a lot [...]
