Morning all. Two weeks without a fixture and the best the club can manage is a miserly four days away. Tight lot. Lol. Mikel Arteta and his merry men land in Dubai on the 7th before returning home on the 11th. Mikel Arteta: As we prepare for several key fixtures, we are looking forward to […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta was not top of my list of contenders to replace Unai Emery but then neither was Unai Emery to replace Arsene Wenger. What I do believe though is that regardless of what my opinion is, or yours for that matter, everyone deserves to be given a chance. A proper chance. Aubameyang, […]
Morning all. I didn’t enjoy that Arsenal performance one bit. Mesut Ozil probably burned up more calories moaning at the referee than he did playing football. He shouldn’t have started. Personally, I don’t think he’s much better at home but that’s just me. With a two week break right after the game, I really don’t […]
Burnley are one of those clubs I wish would get relegated. They remind me of Bolton Wanderers under Big Sam. Tough to beat admittedly, as Sean Dyche will have his players well drilled, ready to get stuck in and prepared to battle it out until the end. One minute they are beating Man Utd 2-0 […]
Morning all. The winter transfer window has been good I think. We’ve added two defensive players, both of whom have a lot of experience under their belt. It’s clear from what Mikel Arteta said in his press conference that our finances meant loans were pretty much the best we could do. However, those who […]
I quite fancy a couple of weeks of sunshine, golden sands and beautiful blue seas in Dubai but sadly the above kind of beach is what awaits our squad and not you or I. Well, not me anyway. Before they all hop on an aeroplane though there’s one more challenge. Burnley on Sunday afternoon. For […]
Morning all. Ooo errr, Arsenal have made a signing. One which was probably pretty much done and dusted after he was spotted with Edu at the airport. It’s easy for us to sit back and groan about how this kind of signing should have been made as soon as the transfer window opened but we […]
Morning all. Before Martin Atkinson blew his first whistle we knew what was on offer. Another trip to the south coast for an awkward fixture against Portsmouth in the next round. The alternative was a Hampshire v Dorset derby and we we didn’t want that. The way Bournemouth started the game, it looked they […]
A Cultured Left Foot. Yogis Warrior, YW, or simply Yogi. One of the best writers about Arsenal out there in my opinion. Seldom have I ventured further than ACLF, Le Grove, Arseblog and a couple of other Arsenal blogs whose names escape me this morning, for a different take on the club we all love. […]
Not every cheap signing means a bad signing. For sure we’ve seen a few pretty average players arrive at the club over the years, certainly in defence which is the focus today. Why? Because another cheap signing looks set to sign for us in the next day or so. Pascal Cygan. 2002-2006. A […]
Morning all. This transfer window seems to have flown by, yet it’s been pretty quiet for Premier League clubs. So far anyway. Even Man City are yet to dip their toes into the market which is unlike them. That could all change though over the next seven days, just as it might for Arsenal who […]
Morning all. Not many pundits, journalists etc, seem to find it easy to dish out praise to Arsenal, a topic raised here many times before, so when it comes along, milk it. Martin Keown: “You’re watching that team tonight, and you’re seeing the future out there,” Martinelli – his goal. The passion, the spirit. We’ve […]
