Impressive Arsenal thump Baggies.

by | Sunday, January 3, 2021 | Daily Bits and Bobs

Morning all. Mikel Arteta stuck with his back five which had won the last two games. Ceballos was preferred to Elneny, with Aubameyang and Lacazette joining forces up front for the first time in a while. Martinelli had a breather but ESR and Saka, both pretty...

Don’t go back there Mikel.

Morning all. The first fixture of 2021 is upon us and what a place to go to. What a manager to face too in Big Sam. Does it get any worse? Big Sam has been employed by West Brom in attempt to avoid relegation. He started his mind games almost as soon as he walked in...

Two out as New Year brings changes?

  Morning all. 2020 has been a pretty dismal year or us all. Covid-19 swept across the world, taking thousands and thousands of lives as it travelled. An evil virus which shows no signs of letting up. Thankfully, two vaccines have now been approved and are being...

Who’s on your ‘January sale’ list?

  Morning all. ‘The last few results won’t change our approach to the window’ said Mikel Arteta and rightly so. As good as the last two results have been, to believe Martinelli, ESR and Saka for that matter can be the saviours every game would be naive,...

A steady away performance reaps reward.

Morning all. Corner turned? No, of course not. It’s far too soon to be thinking all that was wrong is now right. However, two big wins on the bounce makes a refreshing change. Apart from Lacazette dropping to bench, allowing Aubameyang to return from injury, the...

Just another ramble.

Morning all. Agendas, we all have them don’t we? Or can you, reading this, honestly say you’re a ‘take things day by day’ kind of person? I’ve always believed there’s no point in worrying about tomorrow when today is just beginning.  A football club can’t be run in...

That’s what you get with change Mikel!

by | Sunday, December 27, 2020 | Daily Bits and Bobs

Morning all. When the team news came through, I’d no idea Covid had forced Mikel Arteta to make a few changes. That’s assuming Mikel opted to change his team around because of it of course. I first thought ‘at last, he’s changing tact’. No Willian, Gabriel or Luiz. No...

It’s Boxing Day, time to start fighting.

Morning all. Arsenal face Chelsea at The Emirates today, just a few days after we were royally thumped by Man City. So often in the past we’d be tempted to deflect such a defeat by dismissing the League Cup, or that the manager had played a second string team which is...

Merry Christmas one and all….

  Morning to you all. I hope your day is filled with joy, happiness and much love. And Zoom. We might not all be able to get together with as many family members we’d like to but there’ll be other years. Next year hopefully. Spare a thought though for those on...

Arsenal going for more Brazilian magic.

by | Thursday, December 24, 2020 | Daily Bits and Bobs

Morning all. It’s Christmas Eve, with a difference this year as there won’t be much partying going on. At least there shouldn’t be where I live anyway, not being stuck in Tier 4. There’s little point in moaning about it though as moaning wont bring change. Sounds...
