Balance restored in second half – and we have a spark from Gabriel Jesus

I said it as I was on my way home last night from The Emirates, but that was your archetypal 'tale of two halves' from The Arsenal last night, from attacking sense, I mean. Arteta suggested he would do a bit of rotation and I had a feeling that Tierney would make his way back [...]

Round one: Squad must step up against Palace tonight

It's League Cup action tonight as we play Palace at home and I think I speak for everyone (maybe) when I say: Play all the squaddies Mikel! I've chosen my words carefully here, because the usual response with a game like this is 'kids', but I think we're in need of some rotation tonight and [...]

Arteta’s archetypal ‘perfect day at the office’ as Arsenal smash Forest

I've woken up this morning to an absolute gale swirling around outside my house, but it was Arsenal who were doing the blowing away yesterday, showing their true colours to absolutely batter Nottingham Forest yesterday afternoon. Pre match talk was of how impressive Forest have been this season; they know their strengths and they play [...]

The first half sets the narrative for Arsenal v Chelsea tonight

It's another match day today and another opportunity for me to get too worried and stressed ahead of yet another 'cup final' for The Arsenal, as we take on Chelsea at the Emirates in what I believe, is going to be a very tough game. These always are. Last season's felt relatively comfortable, but that's [...]

Arteta will stress the importance of not underestimating the Hatters

Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]

West Ham in the League Cup – what does Arteta do?

Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]

How does Arteta approach tomorrow night against Brentford in the cup?

What a way to start off a day - with bloody COVID. Well, at least Arsenal are away this weekend and so there is at least that up side that I'm not going to miss going to a game this weekend. It's scuppers a few socialising plans I have but such is life. I move [...]

A semi competitive game to prep us for the real stuff next week – City in the Community Shield

I'm going to let you 'in behind the curtain' a little here and level with you, these words were written yesterday (Saturday), as I knew that I would be rather hungover and probably in no mood to sit at my computer and tap away at the keyboard for 20 minutes whilst trying to prepare myself [...]
