Howdy folks and welcome to another Arsenaless weekend. They really do suck, don't they? International weekend's can be a blessing and a curse. If your team is having a shocker it proves welcome respite from the stress of knowing that you don't have to fall into a football pit of despair when your team plays. [...]

A proper striker makes the difference – Arsenal v Liverpool thoughts

I described last night's game as a 'free hit' beforehand and, as much as I was prepared to lose the game against I think kthe best team in the world right now, it still hurts when the truth like that becomes reality. We can certainly take some solace in the performance and when you look [...]

The way in which I try to temper my own intensity and nervousness over a football game is usually to start at the lowest base point and work upwards. What I mean by that is that in my head, if I start at the point in which my expectations are that we will lose and [...]

Odegaard runs the show as Arsenal do the business against Leicester

Yesterday I wrote about how I feared that Leicester would hit us on the counter. I wrote about being super nervous for this game because I thought we would get a match similar in frustration to the game last year; not taking our chances and sucker-punched by a goal on the counter by the likes [...]

Arteta says nice things about our players…

Mikel Arteta is about six months older than me. I'm more fair-haired than he is, so my greys don't show as easily, but there's no way that he doesn't dye his hair, I don't believe it. And as for those white teeth, well, I can spot a bleacher when I see one. Anyhoo, on to [...]

What are we going to do about Thomas Partey?

By |2021-12-04T08:24:48+00:00December 4th, 2021|Arsenal FC, injuries, midfield, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

This morning I've woken up and the first thought popping in to my head is: "What are we going to do about Thomas Partey, eh?" I wonder if Arteta is thinking the same? Maybe, but maybe not, because perhaps he has more information about the Ghanaian that we do not have? Perhaps he is privy [...]

Old Trafford disapppintment again for the Arsenal, as usual

There were United fans crying about the first Arsenal goal last night, bleating on about injustice, fair play and all of that nonsense. I'll tell you what injustice is; going to Old Trafford, being the better team for most of the match, then coming away with nothing. That's how I am feeling this morning and [...]

Partey’s back! Ramsdale’s helping to ‘mix it up’

Friday's are always better when you have some good news to brighten your day, or when you have something exciting going on at the weekend, eh? For me it's a bit of both, actually, as I'm off in to London for a 40th birthday party tomorrow evening which will be fun. But most important of [...]
