An Un-Arteta-like performance, but grinding out a win can’t be sniffed at

There's two things you absolutely cannot do in life: Look a gift horse in the mouth Scoff at three points at Old Trafford There's plenty of time for us to all look at the performance, the individual clunkiness of some of the players and the fact that this felt like a very 'Un-Arteta'-like Arsenal performance, [...]

Projecting an Arsenal conspiracy theory – MLS, Calafiori and Gabriel’s futures linked?

I watched about 10 minutes of the England game last night, just before Declan Rice made the assist for some unknown footballer who I willst not name, mainly to get five to ten minutes of seeing Myles Lewis-Skelly at this level. From a confidence perspective clearly he doesn't lack that and you could absolutely tell [...]

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 [...]

Congratulations to Michael Oliver. You made it all about you yesterday. You proved once again that your biases are clear when it comes to Arsenal and not even for the first time this season, you decided to change a game based on a decision that for 19 other clubs you would never give. Myles Lewis-Skelly's [...]

Players returning a boost for Arsenal, as Forest’s blueprint and game plan is clear

Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Calafiori’s rumoured injury and the importance of squad depth at full back

Decided to put the United v the Scum game on last night as I was cooking a roast dinner. Kind of wish I hadn't bothered, because it was ruined by a red card that effectively stopped it being too much of a ding dong game. At first I thought Fernandez was a bit reckless with [...]

How much rotation will Arsenal see tonight against Atalanta?

Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]

Some early ‘vibes’ check in on the NLD as internationals start to play out

On Saturday I said that Riccardo should be on the first flight back to London after the knock he sustained on Friday night playing for Italy. That wish has been granted, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that they didn't want to take any risks with him and that's why he won't be playing in their game [...]
