Morning all. It was never going to take a rocket scientist or footballing genius to work out who was likely to be left out of our Europa League squad. Of course, it was two players who for whatever reason, has not played much under Mikel Arteta. Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Mesut Ozil. William Saliba has missed out […]
Morning all. The signs are worrying. Kieran Tierney has already gone into a 14 day isolation and now, the Arsenal Academy has had to be shut down according to a report in The Athletic which quotes an Arsenal spokesperson as saying: We can confirm that a member of staff from our Hale End Academy has tested […]
Morning all. Happy now? Arsenal left it late but what a great way to end this summer transfer window. Many deals went through yesterday but Arsenal smashed it with the signing of Thomas Partey, the midfield player many of us wanted to see arrive at the club. Partey is no ordinary player. He’s been playing […]
Morning all. Football, a game of two halves. Six words which have been used to describe an Arsenal teams performance for a few years now. Yesterday was little different. The first half was horrid to watch, at least it was for me. Luiz could have been sent off, Berge definitely should have been sent for an […]
Morning all. I read two ridiculous headlines on NewsNow yesterday. The first being how Arsenal’s transfer window is on the verge of being a disaster, the second about how Emi Martinez said his move to Aston Villa was a step up. Wrong! What he’s said is that a move to Villa is a step up […]
Morning all. The Europa League draw took place yesterday and in the same group as Arsenal is, League of Ireland side Dundalk, Rapid Vienna and Molde. Well that’s a kind draw if ever I’ve seen one. Short trips on the away days are always helpful. Our first fixture of this year’s competition takes place […]
Morning all. Do you care that Liverpool played an ‘under strength’ side? Are you bothered that the match needed to be decided on penalties? Does the fact that Leno’s goal was under pressure for large parts of the game really matter this morning? Did you love the Ainsley Maitland-Niles penalty? Three no’s and a […]
Morning all. The fixture to dread, a stadium to fear but during these times of Coronavirus, the atmosphere at Anfield will very different than ever before for Arsenal tonight. No crowd to sway the officials, no twelfth man to get behind the home team. How wrong was I… Liverpool proved on Monday that no fans, […]
Less than a year into his stint as Arsenal manager and it is fair to say that the Mikel Arteta era is picking up the pace and when you consider that the former midfielder has already won two pieces of silverware in such a short time, there is the reason for increased optimism at […]
Morning all. The next five days are going to be bonkers. Rumours, links, whatever you call them will go up a level I’m sure. Jim White will already be gargling with salt water, just to make sure his voice is in peak condition ahead of deadline day. His yellow tie pressed as if he were […]
Morning all. For all the hope and belief I and probably a number of Arsenal fans had going into the match against Liverpool, the reality is, at Anfield they were far superior to the team Mikel Arteta selected. After going 1-0 up against the run of play, defensive mistakes allowed Liverpool to equalise. The home […]
Morning all. The fixture to dread, a stadium to fear but during these times of Coronavirus, the atmosphere at Anfield will very different than ever before for Arsenal tonight. No crowd to sway the officials, no twelfth man to get behind the home team. Liverpool’s opening fixture was at Anfield. They won it but not […]
