Well that didn’t end well. In fact very little went well for the entire 120 minutes really, other than a thing of beauty off Auba’s boot. I’m not cross, just really disappointed because we had so many opportunities to put the game to bed but our front men failed to pull the trigger, Pepe in particular. […]
Tonight is simple, keep a clean sheet and we’re through. If the Greek side happen to score two, then we simply have to win. Our away goal means the pressure is on Olympiacos to score, to bring the tie level before hoping they can dish out a sucker punch late in the game. A […]
beIN Sports have a few quotes from Arsene Wenger which came after the final whistle blew at Stamford Bridge. Not a good night at all for Frank Lampard and his team. What has he [Lampard] learned… but he knew already, because you don’t lose five home games if your team is superior to every […]
The celebration from Eddie after his goal at the weekend caused a few raised eyebrows but as expected, it was just a bit of in house fun rather than him getting ahead of himself. “It’s just a little phone call! In pre-season Arsenal Media came up with a little thing ‘call me if you need a […]
Why shouldn’t a keeper make two or three top notch saves? If opposition players miss their chances to score goals, that’s their problem, not ours. After all, when was the last time someone said Arsenal were unlucky after missing opportunities of our own? Oh no, our players will be criticised until the cows come […]
Today’s fixture will be another tough test for Mikel Arteta and his team. Both clubs are in a similar situation I think with two managers early into their new career. Carlo Ancelotti is possibly one of the most experienced managers in the game, successful too but his best years are done in my opinion. […]
Morning all. A home win – 9/8. Draw – 27/10. Away win – 11/4. Those are current odds on offer at Oddschecker for our match against Everton on Sunday afternoon. I haven’t a clue what that means, or rather how the those how odds come about but I guess it’s no different to any of us […]
Morning all. On a dark winters evening, or rather night in Greece, a full stadium was in the mood, vocally. The home team started better, or we started slowly, take your pick. Either way, conceding an early goal looked on the cards. It never came. Mikel Arteta had said before kick off that he didn’t […]
Morning all. Europa League football returns tonight with Arsenal in Greece. Mesut Ozil misses out because of personal reasons. Lucas Torreira is unwell but should he have made a rapid recovery overnight, he’ll fly out to meet up with the squad sometime today. Pablo Mari is fit and ready for selection. Olympiacos. A team which […]
Morning all. Two problems seem to have raised over the last few days. As always though, pinch and salt come to mind. although the reports coming from Sportske in Croatia about Robbie Burton appear to be true. He’s on the verge of leaving Arsenal having already travelled to Maksimir to complete his transfer to Dinamo […]
Morning all. It was hardly surprising to see many empty seats at The Emirates yesterday afternoon. Storm Denis made sure of that. Mikel Arteta served up a major surprise by selecting Eddie Nketiah for his first Premier League start. Dani Ceballos started too, as well as Mesut Ozil. Alexandre Lacazette, Gabriel Martinelli, Joe Willock, […]
Morning all. This is a suggestion, nothing more. The whole idea being to provoke discussion, not me trying to think I’m better at picking a team than Mikel Arteta which is why he’ll be in the dugout this afternoon and I’ll be sat in my armchair with a cup of tea, watching. Much of Liverpool’s […]
