Morning all. Absolute poppycock or mere truth, I don’t know but we’ll find out before kickoff when Solskjaer announces his team for tonight’s fixture. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are reportedly ‘likely’ to miss this match. As might Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see all start, neither should […]

Morning all. Unai Emery has made Granit Xhaka our full time captain which I personally feel is a big mistake. He’s the leader in a pack of five which consists of Aubameyang, Bellerin, Lacazette and Ozil. Ozil being another mistake in my opinion. Why Xhaka? First, he is mature and he has experience and we […]
Morning all. Not the best draw for us in the Carabao Cup. Another home fixture would have been kinder but it is what it is and that’s a trip to Anfield. I’ve looked at the fixtures either side of this match. Liverpool. Sunday 27th October 4-30pm – Liverpool v Toots […]
Morning all. With our domestic season being very up and down, it could have been tempting for Unai Emery to field a strong side last night just to get the job done and with it, get a bit more confidence into a group of first team players who seem able to play a half decent […]
Morning all. It doesn’t seem long ago that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was firing his free kick into the back of the net to secure our 3-2 victory over Aston Villa, probably because it isn’t. Whoever decided giving us a late Sunday afternoon fixture followed by a Tuesday match is clearly bonkers. Why aren’t we playing tomorrow […]
Morning all. This time last week the critics were out with knives sharpened. Rightly so I hasten to add because Arsenal had shown all their worst qualities in 45 minutes of football. They weren’t an awful lot better in the 45 minutes which preceded our collapse but at least we’d scored a couple of goals. […]
Morning all. I don’t know about you guys but I enjoy reading the articles on the official site which are about our players, by the player themselves. This week there’s one on Emiliano Martinez. I guess it was a good time to publish this particular one because not only has he just played his first […]
Morning all. A much changed side from the one which crumbled at Watford faced Frankfurt yesterday evening in what was expected to be our toughest test in the group. Martinez, Chambers, Luiz, Mustafi, Kolasinac, Torreira, Xhaka, Willock, Smith Rowe, Saka, Aubameyang. – Maitland-Niles, Ceballos and Pepe came off the bench to replace Smith Rowe, Willock and […]
Morning all. A break from the Premier League woes tonight as our Europa League campaign kicks off with a short trip to Germany where we’ll face Eintracht Frankfurt. No doubt there is temptation to think this match will be easy for Arsenal but let’s not forget that in this competition just a few months ago, they […]
Morning all. It’s inevitable that over the next few weeks and months, Unai Emery is going to be under scrutiny. As will Xhaka, Ozil, Sokratis, Luiz and every other player who continues to make mistakes. Arsenal are feeding the back page journalists right now and I suspect they’re enjoying every minute of it. For us […]
Morning all. Firstly, I want to be clear. I don’t dislike Unai Emery because he’s seems like a nice guy. Also, I want to think he can wake up tomorrow morning, look in the mirror and say to himself, ‘I’ve been doing things wrong but today I’m going to start again and make it right.’ […]
Morning all. England won the final test to draw the 2019 Ashes series, Europe won the Solheim Cup but Arsenal, well they did what they’ve done before and are likely to do again until the art of defending becomes an important part of an Arsenal managers game plan. For years, certainly the second ten years […]
