Morning all. Is this the fixture which will tell us where Arsenal really are right now? Perhaps it is. We know we’re not in the same financial league as Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs and we’re some way off of the level Liverpool are at so what’s important for Arsenal is to not lose […]

Morning all. Man City were knocked out of the League Cup last night, the competition they’ve won for the last four years. It took penalties for West Ham to beat them, just as it did Leicester City to get past Brighton at the King Power Stadium. Brendan Rogers made ten changes to the team which […]
Morning all. That was alright wasn’t it? A mixture of players from the entire squad with Ben White and ESR the only two included from the team which beat Aston Villa. I was surprised to see them both start especially as Mikel Arteta said after the game that White had been feeling unwell. Thankfully, […]
Morning all. If there’s one thing, although I’m sure there’s more, Mikel Arteta is good at, it’s his engagement with the fans. I can’t recall an Arsenal manager constantly referring to the club’s bread and butter as much as Mikel does. Without the fans, home and away, Arsenal would not survive. The same applies to […]
Morning all. Man Utd took an absolute battering by Liverpool at Old Trafford yesterday. To make the day worse for the home team, Pogba was sent off on the hour mark. Ole must be fearing his Utd career is soon to come to an end. According to reports, many home fans upped and left at […]
Morning all. Watford thrashed Everton 5-2 yesterday afternoon which was a good result for Arsenal. As was Man City beating Brighton 4-1 at The Falmer Stadium. It might be early in the season still but any points the club’s above Arsenal drop is good. As long as Mikel Arteta’s team can keep the points tally […]
Morning all. I don’t think it’ll just be Mikel Arteta who’s very pleased but all Arsenal fans too. That was a very good performance. The Emirates was loud from start to finish. Super stuff. The changes Mikel Arteta made had an impact on the way the team played. Sambi Lokonga in for Martin Ødegaard, […]
Morning all. Dean Smith brings his Aston Villa team to The Emirates tonight. Like Arsenal, their season so far has been mixed. They’ve beaten Man Utd, Everton and Newcastle but lost to Chelsea, Toots, Watford and Wolves. A draw with Brentford their other result. Jack Grealish departed in the summer but Villa spent the money […]
Morning all. Would I prefer to see a different manager along with a new coaching team at Arsenal? Yes, but even though that’s my opinion, I’d be as happy as Larry if Mikel Arteta proved me and all his other critics wrong. We know what the Arsenal board are like so it’s highly unlikely change […]
Morning all. Ian Wright: I think it’s a little bit of a worry for Arsenal because when you look at both goals, we’re not getting defenders to go and engage. He’s [White] got to get closer to him [Edouard] and he doesn’t do it. They’ve done brilliantly to score the goal. I think he’s got […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta opted for a midfield of one, defensively I mean and that was Thomas Partey. No Lokonga, AMN or even Elneny to help him nullify a Crystal Palace midfield which has been playing well. Instead, in came Pepe to add to our attacking force. Yes, I use that word rather loosely. Credit […]
Morning all. Finally, domestic football and Arsenal return to action tonight. The weekend threw up a few interesting resulting with Leicester City beating Man Utd, Wolves coming back from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa 3-2 and Chelsea getting a win at Brentford. Shame yesterday’s result went the way they did though. Crystal Palace […]
