Morning all. As feared, Thomas Partey started at left back and to be fair to him, he did well but as suggested before, his absence from midfield was an issue. Jorginho simply cannot do what a fully fit and healthy Partey does. Kai Havertz was still poorly so he was nowhere to […]

Morning all. I was talking to a Man Utd fan yesterday, one of the nicest ones I’ve ever met I hasten to add. We had a bit of a laugh at each other’s expense about our respective clubs before he said something along the lines of “if Arsenal had a top-notch striker, […]
Morning all. What a great way to start 2025 as far as Arsenal is concerned. Mikel Arteta opted to give Riccardo Calafiori a start yesterday with Myles Lewis-Skelly on the bench. I’m sure a number of Arsenal fans expected to see Gabriel Martinelli on the right but no, 17 year old Ethan Nwaneri […]
Morning all. This was tipped to be Arsenal’s season to win the Premier League having finished second behind Man City for the last two. Third time lucky and all that plus City were going into a difficult period away from the pitch which I know I hoped would cause problems on it. City have […]
Morning all. I think the Arsenal surprise of season so far has been Myles Lewis-Skelly. He played a bit, then a bit more and right now, he seems to be Mikel Arteta’s preferred left-back. It’s easy to believe he’s been playing because of injuries because it’s true but boy, has he taken the chance […]
Morning all. Our last game was a bit of a huff and puff to secure victory despite dominating possession. Pre match though, there was a bit of excitement as Santi Cazorla was at The Emirates and before the game, in the Live from N5 […]
Morning all. We are half way through this 2024/25 season and once again, our defending is the best in the league. Perhaps it hasn’t always seemed that way during the last five months but we have kept more clean sheets (seven – level with Liverpool ) and conceded fewer goals (16) than any other […]
Morning all. We won and that’s about it really. Arsenal against a defensive setup is seldom easy on the eye and last night was no exception. Lots of possession but thankfully, we got the goal needed to win the game. The goal itself was brilliant in my opinion, not because it was flash etc […]
Morning all. Yesterday’s results went quite well for Arsenal until Liverpool played Leicester in the evening game. Man City had drawn at home with Everton, Nottingham Forest beat Totts and then Fulham, who’d been trailing in their match against Chelsea since the 16th minute, sprung a late surprise by scoring twice to nick […]
Morning all. Happy Boxing Day. For weeks and weeks, maybe even months, the BBC had been plugging yesterday’s final ever episode of Gavin and Stacey. We’ve heard it all before about television comedies or dramas which are saying a final goodbye to the screen but on many occasions, I’ve been left feeling disappointed. […]
Morning all. Christmas Day is here and to start the day off, my puppy has just thrown up all her breakfast. Now she’s running around the house with nose in the air. She can smell her presents which thankfully, don’t include food! My day is about going to see my 90 year old mum […]
Morning all. I used to love Christmas Eve as a child growing up. The excitement of Father Christmas popping down the chimney sometime overnight, the smell of mince pies cooking and knowing that behind a locked dining room door was a tin of Quality Street and many other treats which we didn’t have throughout […]
