Morning all. Thomas Partey overcame whatever injury he had to make it into the starting eleven last night although Gabriel and Riccardo Calafiori remained absent. Jurrien Timber was on the bench as was Kieran Tierney. Instead, Myles Lewis-Skelly was handed his first Champions League start and Gabriel Jesus started in place of Kai Havertz. […]

Morning all. It’s a big night at The Emirates as Arsenal face a free flowing and entertaining Monaco team. Monaco currently occupy 3rd place in Ligue 1 and 11th place in the Champions League table with only goal difference separating them and us in 10th. After last night’s fixtures, we dropped out of the […]
Morning all. Twelve shots, four on target and one goal. Would have been two if Gabriel Martinelli had been paying attention to Fulham’s back line. At this level of the game, he should have been smarter. Two more points dropped in a game which we should have won. We were all over Fulham at […]
Morning all. Both clubs in Manchester dropped points yesterday, Utd were beaten at home by Nottingham Forest while City drew with Crystal Palace away from home. Liverpool’s game against Everton was postponed because of the weather. Four Premier League fixtures take place today including Totts v Chelsea and of course, Fulham v Arsenal. A […]
Morning all. A second night of midweek Premier League fixtures saw Totts lose 1-0 to Bournemouth on a cold, wet and windy night but in London, Fulham beat Brighton 3-1. An own goal and Alex Iwobi brace did the damage to Brighton. Until the own goal which gave Fulham the lead around the 80 […]
Arsenal.com Morning all. No Gabriel, Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, no proper left back. For Oleksandr Zinchenko and Jakub Kiwior, it was a rare start for both. Hats off to them too because both did more than ok. Manchester United came for a point in my opinion but left with nothing. Meanwhile, up In […]
Morning all. What a surprise eh, we have drawn Man Utd in the FA Cup whereas the likes of Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Totts are drawn against lower league clubs. Not that I’m overly bothered about us playing United at The Emirates but I think it’ll mean Mikel Arteta is unlikely to rotate […]
Morning all. Liverpool battered Man City yesterday afternoon in every department bar the scoreline. With better finishing, the game could have been over in the first half. Yes, Liverpool looked very very good but let’s not forget they were playing against a City team who haven’t won a game for a few weeks and […]
Morning all. I think I’m still in shock over the way yesterday’s game played out. 4-0 up including a rare award of a penalty and then in two swift moments, West Ham halved the deficit. Another Arsenal penalty given by Anthony Taylor and that was that for the first half, and the game as […]
Morning all. No Gabriel in the training photos from yesterday which means he’s either ruled out for this one or Mikel Arteta is keeping Julen Lopetegui guessing. Same goes for Mikel Merino as he wasn’t in the photos either. I’d imagine if our big Brazilian is ruled out, Riccardo Calafiori will slot in alongside […]
Morning all. Only three fixtures remain in this first phase of the Champions League campaign. Arsenal’s next two fixtures take place at The Emirates against Monaco on the 11th December, GNK Dinamo on the 22nd January then on the 29th January, Mikel Arteta and his players will be in Spain to take on Girona. […]
Morning all. I had a choice. The Great British Bake Off Final, or Sporting Lisbon v Arsenal. It was a tough decision to make but earplugs in and iPad in hand, Arsenal just edged it. Unlike the actual game of course which Mikel Arteta’s players bossed with consummate ease! The occasion reminded me a […]
