Morning all. There are two ways of looking at the club right now I guess, one is to accept this is Arsenal under Unai Emery and until he’s gone just put up with it or two, moan. Moan at being third whilst playing 45 minutes a week. Lol Ourselves,Toots and Utd are in a mess, […]
Morning all. I didn’t see the game, just a few highlights so not much from me this morning but from what’s been written out there in Arsenal land, it wasn’t pretty. But, surprise surprise, we’re 3rd in the Premier League table with just one point between us and Man City. Yes, it’s a mad world. Twenty […]
Morning all. Midweek saw a young Arsenal side play in a way which we’ve been crying out for, for what seem like years. Similar could be said about the Notts Forest game too. Energy, movement, pace, excellent crossing from both sides, especially from Tierney and a bit of organisation at the back too. It’s a […]
Morning all. Yes, it was ‘only’ Standard Liège, but this is a club which has won numerous league titles in Belgium. It’s an experienced football team which a ‘second string’ Arsenal despatched with ease. A 7-0 scoreline would not have been flattering had that been the final result. As it turned out, we had to […]
Morning all. I watched the Bayern game last night and drooled over some of the football they played. The officiating was diabolical, equally as bad if not worse than what we see here in the Premier League. Serge Gnabry scored four against a team we huffed and puffed against and I wondered why, or rather […]
Morning all. Our match against Utd was hardly a good advert for Premier League football. Two clubs, desperate for everything to suddenly click into place on the pitch played out a poor game. Chambers went into the book quite early which in itself I thought was fair but when the Utd players committed similar fouls […]
Morning all. Absolute poppycock or mere truth, I don’t know but we’ll find out before kickoff when Solskjaer announces his team for tonight’s fixture. Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford are reportedly ‘likely’ to miss this match. As might Paul Pogba and Luke Shaw. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see all start, neither should […]
Morning all. Unai Emery has made Granit Xhaka our full time captain which I personally feel is a big mistake. He’s the leader in a pack of five which consists of Aubameyang, Bellerin, Lacazette and Ozil. Ozil being another mistake in my opinion. Why Xhaka? First, he is mature and he has experience and we […]
Morning all. Not the best draw for us in the Carabao Cup. Another home fixture would have been kinder but it is what it is and that’s a trip to Anfield. I’ve looked at the fixtures either side of this match. Liverpool. Sunday 27th October 4-30pm – Liverpool v Toots […]
Morning all. With our domestic season being very up and down, it could have been tempting for Unai Emery to field a strong side last night just to get the job done and with it, get a bit more confidence into a group of first team players who seem able to play a half decent […]
Morning all. It doesn’t seem long ago that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was firing his free kick into the back of the net to secure our 3-2 victory over Aston Villa, probably because it isn’t. Whoever decided giving us a late Sunday afternoon fixture followed by a Tuesday match is clearly bonkers. Why aren’t we playing tomorrow […]
Morning all. This time last week the critics were out with knives sharpened. Rightly so I hasten to add because Arsenal had shown all their worst qualities in 45 minutes of football. They weren’t an awful lot better in the 45 minutes which preceded our collapse but at least we’d scored a couple of goals. […]
