Morning all. Are you enjoying reading the back pages in the newspapers this morning? All is not well at the neighbours that’s for sure and it makes for amusing headlines. At Arsenal though, Gabriel Jesus is back and wasn’t ready for a return to first team action, I very much doubt Thomas Partey would be […]
Morning all. We, that is Arsenal, have an ally. I think I’ve mentioned before that Jamie Carragher is a big fan of what Mikel Arteta is doing at Arsenal. Talking last night on Sky Sport, he said: I’ve always had the feeling that if you want to win the league you have to score late […]
Morning all. What a weekend of football. The only way it could have been better for Arsenal is if Man City and Newcastle had drawn their match but hey, we can’t have things all our own way. A fabulous comeback from the Arsenal men against Bournemouth, Wolves then beat Tottenham and because Chelsea are so […]
Morning all. What is there to say after the 97 minutes of football played out by both Bournemouth and Arsenal yesterday other than, wow! I said before the game that I believed Bournemouth are better than their League position suggests….. Mikel Arteta made three changes to the starting eleven of midweek. Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey […]
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 […]
