It's match day and whilst the focus should be on who are the best and fittest players available to be selected today to try to get us back on track and winning at home to Southampton, unfortunately we are once again dealing with some problems in the Arsenal camp, or at least what looks like [...]

Fear the familiar sound of ‘we must learn’ from Arsenal

I don't know whether it was said in the immediate aftermath of the game against Everton on Monday, but I only read those Martin Odegaard quotes yesterday afternoon, in which he admitted that Arsenal have a mindset problem. He said something along the lines of being 'afraid to lose the win' or something equally as [...]

Must Arsenal hold their nerve in selling players?

T-minus nine days and counting (if you count today) until the kick off to the new season and, as it stands, we're looking at a VERY familiar line up to the one that led us to two consecutive eighth places over the last couple of seasons. That's not going to get too many Arsenal fans [...]

Isn't it lovely starting off the middle of the week with the sweet smell of victory in your nostrils? That's what we got yesterday after Arsenal picked up an away day victory to Southampton and, I have to tell you there was a lot to like about yesterday's win. Firstly, Southampton are a good side, [...]

Arsenal must exploit Southampton’s full backs tonight

A match day and a potential signing you say? Yep, we should get the official confirmation on Odergaard today and apologies if I spend the next six months not putting the diagonal line through his name, but in many ways I am a lazy man and given it is not right in front of me [...]

Can Odergaard hit the ground running at The Arsenal?

morning people and welcome to another Monday in Lockdown. And it's affecting people in different ways, that's for sure. For example, personally I'm not going to download a flight-checker app on my phone to find out which private jet Martin Odergaard is taking to get himself to Luton so he can have his medical at [...]

Arsenal Squaddies prove they aren’t up to it in the Cup

What a disappointing performance that was yesterday. And there is emphasis on the word 'performance' really, because that's what I think warrants more discussion and debate than the actual result itself. We all love the FA Cup. We've seen Arsenal win it more than most and certainly in the last 20 odd years Arsenal have [...]

Sensible soccer signings in Ryan and Odegaard; Saints preview

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday. And it's a slightly different blog today because it appears as though not only we have a match to digest at lunchtime, but also a signing and one more that seems virtually on the way. On the one that is on the way - Odegaard - I'd like to [...]

Moles and Odegaard: Arteta has his say

We've had ourselves a press conference yesterday ahead of the FA Cup game tomorrow and Mikel had plenty to say on a number of different things, including some of the exits that we've had, with Sokratis getting the platitudes, as well as Mesut - to an extent anyway. He has obviously said nice things about [...]
