Morning all. After the game, Mikel Arteta said: No complaints. This is football. We were really good in the first half and controlled totally the game, we created loads of big chances that we didn’t put away. In the second half we put ourselves in problems. I bet deep down he was seething. Not because […]
Morning all. Me and technology don’t really go together so when I accidentally click on something behind the scenes which breaks HH, I don’t know how to fix it. Thankfully, a QPR supporting technical genius I know, does. If the season stopped right now, we’d both be very happy. Anyway, since I managed to crash […]
Morning all. Arsenal women, the only English club with a Champions League trophy to brag about, went to France and thumped the current champions Lyon, 5-1 in their own back yard. Beth Mead and Caitlin Foord, with two goals each, and Frida Maanum scored the goals. What an incredible result for Jonas Eidevall’s players. Zurich and […]
Morning all. Theres a full Premier League fixture list tonight, bar one. Arsenal v Man City, which was postponed so that we could play our Europa fixture against PSV Eindhoven tomorrow evening. For once, I think this might work in our favour, not because I think we’re not capable of getting something from a fixture […]
Morning all. This is from our young centre-back Gabriel Magalhães talking to Arsenal Media: I think it’s one of the best periods of my life at the moment. I’m learning more about life every day with everything that’s happening to me. When you become a father, you change in many ways and I’m delighted. I think […]
Morning all. Where to start? The 100th penalty in ten games for Kane on Saturday, the 2-0 Chelsea victory over Everton or the shock 1-0 defeat of Man City by Liverpool? None of the above as there’s only one real place of interest and that’s Elland Road. A match which saw Arsenal beat Leeds 1-0. […]
Morning all. A 2pm kick-off today and no television coverage, how annoying. Sky Sports, for reasons I can’t fathom, think that Aston Villa v Chelsea is the better 2pm fixture to show and then Liverpool v Man City later in the day. If they were playing anyone else, I’d be hoping City drop at least […]
Morning all. Sometimes it doesn’t matter about the performance as long as the outcome is positive. Last night’s match was one of those times in my opinion. Bodo/Glimt were always going to make things difficult for Mikel Arteta’s team regardless of which players he selected. They did just that too. But for Matt Turner being […]
Morning all. Another match day is upon us and this one is an earlier kickoff, 5.45pm. Pre match, a number of questions were put to Mikel Arteta about the pitch which is of course, artificial but he wouldn’t be drawn into using that as a reason to change his approach to the game. I think […]
Morning all. The Daily Mail have a poll running which asks readers who they think should start at right-back for England at the World Cup later this year. The options along with the votes so far are as follows: Trent Alexander-Arnold – 7,960 votes Reece James – 10,313 votes Kyle Walker – 5,262 votes Kieran Trippier – 3,630 […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta on The Emirates atmosphere: I’ve never seen it like this, you cannot imagine how much it helps the players, how much belief it gives, how much confidence, and support. It’s one of the nicest things we’ve done since we are together here, to unite everybody and feel like you go here […]
