Three goals, three points, an away win to the team currently first in Serie A, doing it with a rotated team, players in attack finding form. What’s not to like about yesterday’s 3-1 win at the San Siro? Before a ball was kicked, yesterday morning and afternoon, I was excited for this game. The reason [...]

Bossing the Bridge: Zubimendi’s brilliance, Vik’s relief and the frustration of a lifeline for Chelsea

Arsenal went to Stamford Bridge last night, to a Chelsea admittingly short of a fair few important players, and absolutely bossed them to take control of this League Cup two-legged semi-final. So why do I not feel completely sated this morning? I think it's probably the feeling that this tie could - and probably should [...]

It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]

Arsenal scrape by against Wolves in another worrying day at the office

That was objectively bad yesterday. No 'ifs', not 'buts' - Arsenal just sucked a bit against a team who have made scoring goals and keeping them out look like Mission Impossible this season. I spoke about Wolves' form, about the problems they have, about the fact that they an injury to a key player and how [...]

So the good news from the press conference yesterday appears to be that despite coming off injured in midweek against Bayern, Leo appears to be fit, as confirmed by Mikel when doing his pre-Chelsea chat to the assembled media. That's a relief. Considering just how impressive he's been for us this season, losing him at [...]

Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Let's start with some positive news, which is that yesterday afternoon Big Vik took to his Instagram to get pictures of himself in training. Given how Arsenal spend so much time trying not to give anything away by clearly selecting pictures they know won't include any players [...]

When can we get Big Vik back?

Happy Thursday all - hope you're all good? I think we're getting a Mikel Arteta press conference this morning ahead of the Sunderland game and I don't know about you, but the main question I'd like answered is: How long is Viktor Gyokeres going to be out injured for? The talk is that it's after [...]

Morning campers, hope you're all well on this here Champions League match day, in which a visit to Prague is on the cards for the team for one of the earlier kick offs today. Firstly, we have to ponder who on earth is now going to be playing up front, after Big Vik succumbed to [...]

Arsenal overcome Burnley as ‘routine’ becomes a common word for this side

By |2025-11-02T08:26:01+00:00November 2nd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

I hope I can come on here after another 28 matches just like yesterday, because the keyword of the day will be this every time if I do: Routine. That needs to be the definer of Arsenal this season with games like this and if Arsenal can continue to put in performances like they did [...]

Arsenal are in good nick at both ends of the pitch

To demonstrate how fast football moves... Yesterday I woke up feeling terrible. I'd started to come down with a fever on Tuesday afternoon and by the time the Arsenal game on I was running a high temperature and got barely any sleep, going to bed straight after the game. That mean that yesterday morning I [...]
