Morning all. Another day on from the game at The Etihad yet still Arsenal’s style of play after Leandro Trossard was sent off still occupies the sports headlines. These critics need to get a grip really because had they been involved in what Mikel Arteta had to deal with, I’m sure they’d be singing his […]

Morning all. At the end, Man City celebrated their last gasp goal of the game as if it was the winner which in itself shows what they think of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and the threat they are to City’s dominance in this league. Mikel Arteta rested Ben White yesterday meaning Jurrien Timber switched to the […]
Morning all. Today sees last seasons top two clubs go head to head in what should be a cracking game of football. Actually, it’ll probably be a game of ten million passes as Mikel Arteta and Guardiola try to outsmart each other. Mikel Arteta: We’re expecting a really competitive one. We’re going to the home […]
Morning all. Reading something from William Saliba is a rare thing but an interview with our French defender has popped up on Arsenal’s official website. We all want to achieve something. Winning this Premier League is not easy, but when you finish twice second, you want to win. We will give everything, even more than […]
Morning all. Before the season kicked off, Ange Postecoglou told Sky Sports that he usually wins silverware in his second season at a club. Before the NLD, he reiterated his point by adding: I’ll correct myself: I don’t usually win things, I always win things in my second year. Nothing has changed. I don’t say […]
Morning all. What a game! It had everything but a glut of goals. We saw strong challenges, a lot of bookings, a mini brawl and a defensive masterclass from Arsenal. The only goal of the game came from a set piece. As expected, Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori were ruled out through injury and with […]
Morning all. Apparently, during the Liverpool/Nottingham Forest match yesterday, Dominik Szoboszlai, who had already been booked, was later penalised for a foul on Callum Hudson-Odoi. Clearly frustrated by the decision, he booted the ball away but was he then shown a second yellow card? No, of course not! Consistency at its finest, not! Liverpool lost […]
Afternoon guys. From Arsenal.com: Josh Kroenke: We’re delighted to have extended Mikel’s contract. Mikel is a dynamic and passionate manager, who is relentless in the pursuit of excellence. He has a deep understanding of Arsenal’s values, and since joining us as Head Coach in December 2019, he has taken the team to another level in […]
Morning all. I doubt there’s an Arsenal fan anywhere who is looking forward to seeing Jarred Gillet officiate an Arsenal match for the second time already this season. This is a man who thought it was kind of ok for Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera to grab Kai Havertz around the throat on the opening weekend […]
Morning all. As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours… First it was Mikel Merino to suffer a nasty injury during training, then came the news that Riccardo Calafiori had been injured whilst on international duty, bad enough for him to return to Arsenal and then yesterday, Martin Odegaard limped out of Norway’s Nations […]
Morning all. After thrashing Rangers 6-0, Arsenal’s women needed another victory yesterday to have any chance of making the Champions League proper. The performance was convincing although like the men, converting chances into goals was missing but the one they did score was enough to beat Rosenborg BK. They still have two more qualifying fixtures, […]
Morning all. Thomas Partey and his Ghanaian teammates slumped to a 1-0 defeat at home to Angola in the opening ACON’s qualifying fixtures yesterday. I won’t shed a tear if Ghana lose their remaining qualifying fixtures too, not if it means our midfielder doesn’t go off on international duty in January. David Raya played for […]
