Arsenal hold the transfer cards; maybe a start for Odegaard?

Morning folks. Another Monday comes rolling around but unlike most Monday's, this one has the hyperbole of being labelled 'Transfer Deadline Day', which means Sky Sports go nuts all wearing silly yellow ties and dresses, they talk a little faster on Sky Sports News, they inject some kind of faux urgency into a day that is [...]

High press and avoid the counter: the blueprint for victor over Wolves

By |2020-11-29T09:56:13+00:00November 29th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, Formation, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

Iiiiiiiiit’s matchday! Always a day that is both exciting and terrifying because in 12 hours time we’ll know that Arsenal have either buggered up another opportunity to get points on the board, or they’ll have made this weekend a heck of a lot better by beating Wolves. But in order to do that it feels [...]

Arsenal’s balance and a high press might beat Wolves

Moring folks and welcome to Saturday. How you doing? Y'alreet? I'm fine, thanks for asking, although I did stay up too late watching The Good, The Bad and The Ugly last night and my body clock is such that it doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I'm always up around 7am. That's not [...]

Pepe’s redemption and Nelson knocking on first team doors in Molde

Four games. Four wins. 12 points. 12 goals scored. Qualification from the Europa League group stages which means that for the final two games Arteta can rest some key players over a business period because unless Rapid win both of their games by scoring eight goals in the process, we should also top the group [...]

A decision needs to be made on Maitland-Niles

By |2020-11-13T08:00:32+00:00November 13th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Arsenal Transfers, Defence, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Happy Friday y'all. Hope you're doing well. I have to level with you. Even these days, with some form of Arsenal involvement in the England games, I'm not going to rouse myself to actually watching any of a game between England and Ireland that is a friendly with absolutely no real meaning to it. The [...]

Arsenal aren’t being low-balled any more

How desperate have we all been for Arsenal to start behaving in a way where we won’t just get rolled over by other clubs? I am of course talking about the supposed rejection from Arsenal yesterday of the Maitland-Niles bid from Wolves, who are said to have bid well below the £20million asking price, which [...]

Auba, Guendouzi and Leicester – Monday musings

Happy Monday peeps. Yesterday I had a stinking hangover, so didn’t compile any thoughts on the Wolves result, but I gotta tell ya I was mighty impressed I have to say. It was the first ‘statement victory’ that we have had under Arteta and no wonder he had such a beaming smile afterwards. I know [...]

Arteta’s confidence (on Auba and more) will transmit to this Arsenal team

By |2020-07-03T07:58:44+01:00July 3rd, 2020|Arsenal Manager, contracts, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

So we had Tricky Micky Arteta's press conference yesterday rather than today, which means we have something to stick our teeth into before this working week is done, which is nice. It must also mean that the team are making their moves up north today I'd imagine; probably because they got so lambasted by the [...]

Arsenal must act before Champions League qualification is unsalvageable

By |2019-11-04T07:38:23+00:00November 4th, 2019|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Europa League, Ownership and the board, Rant, Unai Emery|1 Comment

It's Monday and the Arsenal are now - as we expected - six points off a top four place and looking nowhere near close enough to challenging for Champions League football for next season. Leicester showed just how average Palace are and we find ourselves this morning looking at yet more speculation as yesterday there [...]

Another boring game. Pull the trigger on Emery, Arsenal, please.

How many of us are surprised with the performance yesterday? I bet there are few. Unai Emery and his team absolutely 100% needed a win and after scoring a goal in the first half and weathering a storm from Wolves, it looked like we were trying to hold out for a one-niller, but the deserved [...]
