Morning all. The away fixture against against this afternoons opponents was one of those, ‘should’ve, could’ve, would’ve’ games. We should have won because we had more possession and opportunities to score, could have won if our chances created were taken and would have won – well, for the two previous reasons. But the game at […]
Morning all. According to David Ornstein, it seems like Arsenal’s transfer men are in talks with PSG to sign left back Layvin Kurzawa. We need a left back that’s for sure because Kieran Tierney is months away from a return and Sead Kolasinac is a tad fragile. As Mikel Arteta said in his press conference […]
Morning all. A slow news day which to be fair is inevitable. It’s midweek, Mikel Arteta hasn’t spoken to the media yet and as far as I can tell, there’s no update on the fitness of Lucas Torreira. When one looks at how key he is to our team under Mikel Arteta, it’s hard to […]
Morning all. Konstantinos Mavropanos has gone out on loan for the rest of the season. Mustafi is strongly linked with a permanent exit to Galatasaray which if happens, leaves us with three central defenders. One of whom is struggling to get back to his best after returning from a long absence through injury. Risky to say […]
Morning all. No Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the next three matches so what would you like to see Mikel Arteta do? 1. Continue with Lacazette central, Pepe wide on the right with Martinelli on the left? 2. Lacazette central, Saka on the left with Pepe on the right? 3. Nelson on the right, Martinelli on the […]
Morning all. It was nasty, probably not intended but regardless, when VAR upgraded Auba’s yellow card to red, I wasn’t at all surprised. I’m not for one minute condoning his challenge but again, where is the consistency in the decisions be made on a match day? Why wasn’t Zaha booked for diving in the box? […]
Morning all. Arsenal have sorted out a couple of departures. Emile Smith Rowe has gone to Huddersfield and Tyreece John-Jules to Lincoln City on loan until the end of the season. The club are yet to decide what’s next for Eddie Nketiah as Mikel Arteta is undecided on whether he might need him. Loans can […]
Morning all. Being an Arsenal fan has been tough over the last ten years. Testing even as I’m sure like me, there’s been days, many of them, when you’ve thought about packing it all in. I don’t mean deserting the club but perhaps when someone invites for dinner etc, you’ll say yes when before there […]
Morning all. Who cares if our only goal was a scrappy one, or scuffed? Not me. The fact that Reiss Nelson got himself into the box from the left wing was good enough. Being in the right place at the right time was all that mattered. Hitting the woodwork, forcing excellent saves or simply missing […]
Morning all. Arsenal v Leeds Utd. A potentially tasty affair tonight. ‘Dirty Leeds’ as they were labelled many years ago, back in the day when a good old fashioned ‘take the ball and man’ tackle was permitted. Not now though as any kind of follow through after a tackle is usually deemed to be a […]
Morning all. Did you know that it was at The Emirates Stadium in the FA Cup eight years ago and against Leeds United when Mikel Arteta was handed the captains armband for the first time? Or rather had the armband left by his kit for him to put on. I didn’t know about it. I arrived […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta: We’re going to try to be in the market to see options that can strengthen the team. That’s for sure and that’s our obligation, and we’re going to be working on that. My obligation is to give my opinion on the things we can improve. Obviously we have some bad […]
