Morning all. Only once since Mikel Arteta took the manager’s job have we had something to look forward to at the end of a season and that was an FA Cup Final against Chelsea in august 2020. When one looks back at the team which started that game, many of whom have since gone, it’s […]
Morning all. Did you see Tyrone Mings accidentally connect with Ashley Barnes elbow in last night’s fixture between Aston Villa and Burnley? Not even a yellow card came out of Paul Tierney’s pocket. And people wonder why Mikel Arteta moaned about some of the decisions he made in our fixture against Totts. When Aaron Hickey […]
Morning all. Memphis Depay and Nicolas Pepe fill the Arsenal headlines this morning. Arsenal’s old midfielder Aaron Ramsey too. I never understand why a manager brings a player on from the bench just before a penalty shootout. Tuchel did it with his keeper didn’t he, and Giovanni van Bronckhorst last night with Ramsey. Both times […]
Morning all. Arsenal currently have 21 players listed on the official website for the first team squad. Out of the 21, Alex Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah and Mo Elneny will be leaving in the summer unless things change which today I’m assuming they won’t. That leaves 18 players. Matt Turner will arrive at the club this […]
Morning all. Granit Xhaka: If someone isn’t ready for this game, stay at home, as simple as that. It doesn’t matter your age, you can be 30, 35, 10, 18 – if you’re not ready for that, stay on the bench, stay at home, don’t come here. We need people to have the balls to […]
Morning all. Arsenal know what they have to do tonight. Win! Nothing else will be good enough if we want to head into the final day of the season with 4th place still in our hands. That final fixture is of course, against Everton who were beaten by Brentford yesterday afternoon so still need a […]
Morning all. Antoni Conte has a bit of a nerve complaining about Mikel Arteta for what he said after the game about some of the decisions made by the referee on Thursday night. All the bloke has done since he took over from Nuno is whinge and moan himself and even suggested he’d walk out […]
Morning all. Marcus Vinicius Oliveira Alencar – aka Marquinhos, a 19 year old winger currently employed by São Paulo, is reported to have agreed personal terms with Arsenal ahead of a summer move to the Premier League. In case you wondered, he’s Brazilian and a right sided player. According to Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, (via […]
Morning all. There’s nothing quite like a hefty defeat for Arsenal in a NLD to waken the media, or the internet in general really. Sad that it might sound, I couldn’t sleep last night so I had a read of a few comment sections of the Arsenal blog world. There seemed to be a clear […]
Morning all. Ex Totts player Peter Crouch and Arsenal’s Martin Keown have been talking about tomorrow nights North London Derby and who they think will win. Keown Tottenham are dangerous and have become so much more difficult to beat under Conte. Their front three is different class, and I’ve been immensely impressed by their new signings, […]
