Toney’s tale doesn’t involve The Arsenal

By |2024-08-19T08:25:09+01:00August 19th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, premier league, Transfers|2 Comments

Happy Monday folks. We all good? I had a lovely weekend after the football and yesterday spent the day in the sun with the family watching bits and pieces of the Brentford/Palace game, then the Chelsea/City game. No Ivan Toney for Brentford and Thomas Frank afterwards suggested it was because his head wasn't right because [...]

Arsenal must crack the tough Crystal Palace nut

It's Crystal Palace at home today and it is the type of game that four or five years ago I'd be pretty confident about us getting a win. But last season and this has pretty much dented any of that "we're The Arsenal, we win this game today" mindset that I had developed over a [...]

Willian could mean a formation change for Arsenal, but Zaha and Partey might not be in it

Howdy y'all and welcome to another post season Monday, although Mother Nature has seen fit to deliver what feels like holiday weather in the UK, without the holiday to go with it unfortunately. You'll never here me complaining though - I love the warmth and would gladly have it like this every day of the [...]

Holding’s dreadlocks to help win the FA Cup for Arsenal?

T-minus 57 hours and counting from the FA Cup Final as I type out today's Arsenal-related nonsense and I have to say I feel just as nervous as I have done all week. As I've already said on a podcast and the blog, this could all go very well or very bad and mentally I'm [...]

Arsenal – Hard “No’s” on Partey, Coutinho, Willian and Zaha

Happy Wednesday folks, as we rapidly approach the 'Sliding Doors' moment that is our FA Cup Final on Saturday, given the possible outcomes we could face. Win and there's a little more cash in the coffers and an opportunity to play European Football next season. Lose and we stare down the barrel of the no [...]

Arsenal need to be compact between the lines to beat Crystal Palace

Morning folks from a relatively wet Belfast, in which I'm treating The Management to a birthday weekend away to see the giant's causeway. It means I'm not sure if I'll get time to watch The Arsenal but I'll have to see if I can find a pub to watch it in at some stage I'm [...]

I believe Arteta and his ‘like a new signing’ rhetoric

By |2020-01-10T09:57:23+00:00January 10th, 2020|Arsenal Manager, Arsenal Transfers, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|2 Comments

Morning folks - happy Friday n'all that jazz. Right, let's get down to it, because it was press conference Thursday yesterday and he addressed the assembled media. The good news is that the first thing he said was that he's given a few more ideas to the players following a first full week of training [...]

Fearing Crystal Palace at home – what have we become?

I wouldn't say that I'm confident ahead of Arsenal matches at the Emirates. There's always usually the butterflies and when I get into the ground the excitement builds. But I'm never overly confident. But a game like Crystal Palace at home used to be one of those where I'd be thinking "of course we can [...]

Ceballos move is shrewd for all parties

Morning all and before I get in to the usual stuff, if you received a barrage of old blogs from me yesterday into your inbox/social media feed, many apologies. The Wordpress app on my phone had a bit of a meltdown - probably because we haven't signed anyone - and suddenly started reposting every blog [...]
