Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Looking forward to the weekend? I know I am! It'll be a bank holiday, Arsenal are playing, I'm around the parental units this weekend (and now actually) to spend some time with my family as it's my brother's birthday, plus we've got a press conference today in [...]
Yesterday's defeat was painful in so many ways. It was painful because the Scum had given us an opportunity to draw level and we didn't take it. Its was painful because it was obvious to see that Southampton were not very good. It was painful because we picked the right starting line up in my [...]
I had a nervousness before the Crustal Palace game that belied the form that Arsenal had going in to it. I was nervous ahead of the Brighton game that belied the terrible form Brighton were in. I am nervous ahead of this game which belies the fact Southampton took an absolute pasting last weekend and [...]
There was no press conference yesterday so it'll mean we'll get to hear from Mikel Arteta today and although today is titled 'Good Friday' in the Christin calendar, I'm not expecting any 'good' news from the injury front. I suspect it'll simply be that the players that are injured are still injured, that we have [...]
I chose my words to the title for today's musings quite carefully here. I know there are people that are convinced that Arteta is, from a tactical perspective, a man who knows his onions and he has shown that at times this season. I also know that there are a proportion - a small one [...]
Happy Monday to thee. Hope you're going to have a good one and if you're winding down for the Christmas period then hopefully it is a chance to start getting in to full relaxation mode as the year draws to a close. I've got a week and a day until I clock off for the [...]
Well now, isn't that more like it, eh? The Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde football side turned up once again and we saw what a difference it makes for Arsenal if we are at home compared to away. With the home fans roaring the team on we got our first game of the season that [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
