Morning all. ‘The last few results won’t change our approach to the window’ said Mikel Arteta and rightly so. As good as the last two results have been, to believe Martinelli, ESR and Saka for that matter can be the saviours every game would be naive, stupid even. The alternative options are William, Ozil […]

Morning all. Corner turned? No, of course not. It’s far too soon to be thinking all that was wrong is now right. However, two big wins on the bounce makes a refreshing change. Apart from Lacazette dropping to bench, allowing Aubameyang to return from injury, the starting eleven was the same as Boxing Day. The […]
Morning all. Brighton – Away West Brom – Away Crystal Palace – Home Newcastle – Home Southampton – Away Man Utd – Home Add in the FA Cup match against Newcastle at home and if we happen to win that one, a next round fixture too and that’s January’s fixtures for Arsenal. Not quite true […]
Morning all. Agendas, we all have them don’t we? Or can you, reading this, honestly say you’re a ‘take things day by day’ kind of person? I’ve always believed there’s no point in worrying about tomorrow when today is just beginning. A football club can’t be run in such a way of course because people […]
Morning all. When the team news came through, I’d no idea Covid had forced Mikel Arteta to make a few changes. That’s assuming Mikel opted to change his team around because of it of course. I first thought ‘at last, he’s changing tact’. No Willian, Gabriel or Luiz. No Aubameyang or Pepe to start with […]
Morning all. Arsenal face Chelsea at The Emirates today, just a few days after we were royally thumped by Man City. So often in the past we’d be tempted to deflect such a defeat by dismissing the League Cup, or that the manager had played a second string team which is true of course, but […]
Morning to you all. I hope your day is filled with joy, happiness and much love. And Zoom. We might not all be able to get together with as many family members we’d like to but there’ll be other years. Next year hopefully. Spare a thought though for those on their own, give them […]
Morning all. It’s Christmas Eve, with a difference this year as there won’t be much partying going on. At least there shouldn’t be where I live anyway, not being stuck in Tier 4. There’s little point in moaning about it though as moaning wont bring change. Sounds familiar eh. No sooner Santa and his reindeer’s […]
Morning all. So who was wishing for VAR last night then? An offside goal, a probable red card for Fernandinho and decision to be made about City’s second choice keeper after his rash challenge on Gabriel Martinelli. Arsenal v the nine men of City and yes, I’d have backed us to win. Our goal […]
Morning all. The crux of Mikel Arteta’s pre match interview was that he’s responsible for the results, he doesn’t read the newspapers or social media and the younger players are taking on more responsibility than they perhaps should be. I don’t blame him for not reading the sports pages and social media as it’s full […]
Morning all. Something rotten is going on at Arsenal. The dressing room is toxic according to headlines on NewsNow. Ex players are blaming current players, Edu, Mikel Arteta or all of them. Players were arguing during the game against Everton and one or two of them have gone behind Mikel’s back to complain about him. […]
Morning all. What a rotten few hours yesterday brought to many of us. Christmas was all but cancelled for many English folk as the South East and London were put into a Tier 4 lockdown. Panic ensued as people hit the shops before they closed at midnight whilst others desperately tried to escape England’s […]
