Morning all. So, Gabriel Martinelli has his mojo back after being dropped according to a headline on NewsNow. The term dropped is harsh I think and seldom does it actually mean what it says because dropped suggests something quite different to being rested. Aubameyang, Ozil, Kolasinac, Mustafi, Pepe etc we’re dropped in my opinion but […]
Morning all. There are many reasons Everton appointed Sean Dyche I’m sure, but I strongly suspect his main task was/is, to avoid relegation. Dyche isn’t really renowned for his entertaining, attacking and dynamic footballing tactics but what he does well is to organise a defensive set up. I’m sure everyone interested in last nights fixture […]
Morning all. Four days after beating Leicester City at The King Power Stadium, Mikel Arteta’s players are back in action against Everton at The Emirates. It’s our game in hand, a chance to go five points clear of Man City and fifteen points ahead of Totts in fourth place. Everton are without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Garner, […]
Morning all. I’ve just read an article, a really bad one by the way, which tried to compare Graham Potter’s start at Chelsea with that of Mikel Arteta at Arsenal. I’ve no idea why the two are being compared in the first place because there literally is no comparison in my opinion. Other than they’re […]
Morning all. Captain for the day, Oleksandr Zinchenko led his team out at The King Power Stadium. A team which saw Eddie Nketiah rested. I was surprised to see him on the bench, purely because he’s the only out and out striker Mikel Arteta has available right now but Leandro Trossard is a versatile player, […]
Morning all. So much for my prediction of Arsenal being drawn against Juventus in the Europa League eh. Sporting Lisbon came out of the pot and as you and I know, Portuguese clubs are hard to beat but let’s worry about that another day. Today is all about getting three points at the King […]
Morning all. Finally, the Europa League Cup Draw is here as today we find out who our next opponents are. 16 clubs are left in the competition but none of the below will be drawn against each other after finishing top of their respective groups. Arsenal Real Betis Fenerbahce Ferencvaros Feyenoord Freiburg Real Sociedad […]
Morning all. There’s seldom much Arsenal news at this time of the year, even less so this time around because we’re out of the domestic cups, sitting top of the League and Europa League football still a few weeks away. I’m sure we all wish we could have beaten Everton at Goodison Park and had […]
Morning all. What a game of football Aston Villa and Arsenal dished up. It really did have everything. A Hollywood actor in the stands, handbags on the pitch, hefty challenges, four fantastic goals and two more late in the second half which were comical. The time wasting efforts of Emi Martinez bit him on the […]
Morning all. Lee Mason has paid the ultimate price for his massive error in last weekends fixture between Arsenal and Brentford. Left by mutual consent is the way this news has been reported but I don’t buy it, he’s been sacked in my opinion. Rightly so too if I’m right. Man Utd have received two […]
Morning all. Most clubs have a bogey team don’t they? After all, how many years did it take England to finally beat Germany? In European football, ask Pep Guardiola about his record against Lyon, Jurgen Klopp about Sevilla or the once Man Utd manager Ralf Rangnick about Bayern Munich Tomas Tuchel about Borussia Dortmund. David […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta made a couple of changes last night. One forced through the absence of Thomas Partey which meant Jorginho made his first start since arriving in January and Takehiro Tomiyasu came in for Ben White. The Arsenal fans were fantastic again but I think their throwing of water bottles at Kevin de […]
