Morning all. Not many pundits, journalists etc, seem to find it easy to dish out praise to Arsenal, a topic raised here many times before, so when it comes along, milk it. Martin Keown: “You’re watching that team tonight, and you’re seeing the future out there,” Martinelli – his goal. The passion, the spirit. We’ve […]

Morning all. I’m sure we’re going to disagree on the sending off of David Luiz. A shocking back pass by Mustafi to Leno who did his best to get to it but from there after, I thought Luiz was too clumsy. He had try and do something to prevent a goal of course, but […]
Morning all. The injury news for tonight’s trip to West London doesn’t make good reading. Sokratis remains a doubt through illness and Kolasinac isn’t due back for a while. After the winter break is says on the club’s official website and it’s the same for Reiss Nelson. Mikel Arteta has said we’re no further forward in […]
Morning all. Another draw, another late goal conceded. Not what we needed at all but there were some positives. Saka did well before setting up Martinelli for our only goal of the game but our Brazilian will be disappointed not to have scored more. Mikel Arteta should be disappointed that others in team with far more […]
Morning all. The away fixture against against this afternoons opponents was one of those, ‘should’ve, could’ve, would’ve’ games. We should have won because we had more possession and opportunities to score, could have won if our chances created were taken and would have won – well, for the two previous reasons. But the game at […]
Morning all. According to David Ornstein, it seems like Arsenal’s transfer men are in talks with PSG to sign left back Layvin Kurzawa. We need a left back that’s for sure because Kieran Tierney is months away from a return and Sead Kolasinac is a tad fragile. As Mikel Arteta said in his press conference […]
Morning all. A slow news day which to be fair is inevitable. It’s midweek, Mikel Arteta hasn’t spoken to the media yet and as far as I can tell, there’s no update on the fitness of Lucas Torreira. When one looks at how key he is to our team under Mikel Arteta, it’s hard to […]
Morning all. Konstantinos Mavropanos has gone out on loan for the rest of the season. Mustafi is strongly linked with a permanent exit to Galatasaray which if happens, leaves us with three central defenders. One of whom is struggling to get back to his best after returning from a long absence through injury. Risky to say […]
Morning all. No Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the next three matches so what would you like to see Mikel Arteta do? 1. Continue with Lacazette central, Pepe wide on the right with Martinelli on the left? 2. Lacazette central, Saka on the left with Pepe on the right? 3. Nelson on the right, Martinelli on the […]
Morning all. It was nasty, probably not intended but regardless, when VAR upgraded Auba’s yellow card to red, I wasn’t at all surprised. I’m not for one minute condoning his challenge but again, where is the consistency in the decisions be made on a match day? Why wasn’t Zaha booked for diving in the box? […]
Morning all. Arsenal have sorted out a couple of departures. Emile Smith Rowe has gone to Huddersfield and Tyreece John-Jules to Lincoln City on loan until the end of the season. The club are yet to decide what’s next for Eddie Nketiah as Mikel Arteta is undecided on whether he might need him. Loans can […]
Morning all. Being an Arsenal fan has been tough over the last ten years. Testing even as I’m sure like me, there’s been days, many of them, when you’ve thought about packing it all in. I don’t mean deserting the club but perhaps when someone invites for dinner etc, you’ll say yes when before there […]
