Morning all. Tomorrow, Arsenal take on Man City, then it’s yet another international break. Gareth Southgate has named Bukayo Saka in his squad but I’m hoping both the player and Mikel Arteta have other ideas. 88/89 minutes on the clock on Sunday, if of course Saka is even involved in the game let alone still […]

Morning all. It’s easy for me, you and every football fan in the world to express our opinions on management, coaches, players, even the tea lady but imagine what it must be like for a player who a club has spent vast amounts of millions on, when little seems to go right. We moan, the […]
Morning all. We go again and this is how our season will continue all the time we’re in all four competitions. Winning against Brentford was an excellent result. Mikel Arteta gave a lot of minutes to most of the players who so far this season, have had limited time on the pitch. The Spaniard bigged […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta was true to his word, he made changes for last night’s EFL Cup match against Brentford. Mind you, he had little choice really because of the umber of injuries we as a club currently have. Arsenal: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, White, Kiwior, Jorginho, Havertz, Smith Rowe, Nelson, Sagoe Jr, Nketiah. Subs: Hein, […]
Morning all. Arsenal are back in action again tonight against Brentford in the EFL Cup. Mikel Arteta talked about injuries during his press conference, about scoring goals being a difficult thing to do but, with the number of opportunities we’ve created, he believes we should have scored more. I think most of us would agree […]
Morning all. What a horrid afternoon for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team. Leandro Trossard was ruled out through injury before the game, as was Gabriel Martinelli and to add to the days misery, Declan Rice didn’t reappear after half-time because he too had suffered an injury. Injuries seem to be a thing for a […]
Morning all. It’s Sunday, it’s North London Derby Day, it’s 2nd v 4th. Reality is though, take away the bragging rights and it’s just another game with three points on offer. Both clubs go into this game having played 5, won 4 and drawn 1. Totts drew their game at Brentford, Arsenal dropped two points […]
Premier League legend William Gallas has told Genting Casino that Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard reminds him of club icon Dennis Bergkamp. The Norwegian has been sensational for Arsenal since joining the club and former Gunners captain said of the player: “I think you can compare Odegaard to Dennis Bergkamp. He isn’t on Bergkamp’s level yet […]
Morning all. The Champions League music played. The rain was falling hard but that didn’t stop the fans from expressing their feelings of excitement, anticipation and perhaps even expectation. PSV, a club steeped in European football history, at least as far as always being involved in it goes, our toughest opponents in the group, were […]
Morning all. After a six year absence, Arsenal are back in the big time, playing some of the biggest and best domestic clubs across Europe. Ok, we’ve avoided the likes of Real, Bayern, Barcelona etc at this group stage but if we can progress through to the next round and beyond, one of them […]
Morning all. A funny old game. Arsenal started with David Raya and Fabio Vieira in place of Aaron Ramsdale and Kai Havertz. I could understand Mikel Arteta leaving Havertz out of the starting eleven because whether one loves or loathes the German, his start at Arsenal hasn’t been the best. Starting with Raya though was […]
