Morning all. Mikel Arteta on The Emirates atmosphere: I’ve never seen it like this, you cannot imagine how much it helps the players, how much belief it gives, how much confidence, and support. It’s one of the nicest things we’ve done since we are together here, to unite everybody and feel like you go here […]
Morning all. Yesterday’s results did Arsenal no favours whatsoever. Totts somehow secured a 1-0 win at Brighton, Man City, Newcastle Utd and Chelsea all won too. If Arsenal want to go back into top spot, a win today is needed. At the other end of the table, Leicester City failed to hang on to a […]
Morning all. When I read the headline on Sky Sports asking whether Gabriel Martinelli is proving Jurgen Klopp right, I wondered why on earth they would think anyone gives a toss what Klopp thinks. He’s done nothing but ‘tap him up’ since the day he clapped eyes on him. A shake of a hand, an […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta made eight changes from the team which played at the weekend with just Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel and Granit Xhaka getting another start. By the end of the game though, Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard all had minutes on the pitch. The final substitution was Reiss Nelson who […]
Morning all. These tough hurdles for Arsenal to jump over just keep on coming don’t they? First it was Crystal Palace and Brentford away which we’d be judged on, then the goalposts moved to so called bigger tests like Totts. Seriously? Next it’s Liverpool, a team we really need to beat if anyone is going […]
Morning all. When Nottingham Forest were throwing money around like it’s going out of fashion back in the summer, did anyone at the club stop and think how twenty odd new players would gel, or what Steve Cooper’s plan was? I recall Arsene Wenger always saying that buying too many players at one time was […]
Morning all. Well well, Man City dished out a footballing lesson to Man Utd yesterday afternoon. The final score was 6-3 but I suspect Pep Guardiola will be furious to concede so many in a game they could have won by a greater scoreline. But, it gives other clubs hope that City are beatable if […]
Morning all. When the team was announced and both Thomas Partey and Oleksandr Zinchenko were named in it, I’m sure every Arsenal fan breathed a sigh of relief. I bet Mikel Arteta did too when he knew both would be available because the NLD is a game which neither manager wants to lose. Unlike Conte, […]
Morning all. It’s Derby Day. The day north London fight for bragging rights in football. The winners will go top of the table, or in Arsenal’s case, stay top of the table. A draw and it’s as we were at the start of the day but I can’t see the points being shared. Not […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s women beat their Ajax counterparts 1-0 last night and that was enough to keep them in Champions League this season. The draw for the group stage takes place on the 3rd October. For now, the women have their own international break which will hopefully allow Beth Mead to recover after being head-butted […]
Morning all. The season resumes at The Emirates on Saturday in the North London Derby. The league campaign kicks off again at The Emirates on Saturday after a strange international break, and it couldn’t resume with a better fixture. Unprecedented is one of the hundreds of words that is overused when writing about or discussing […]
Morning all. It’s a big night for Arsenal’s women as they need a win if they’re to advance in the Champions League. There’s no away goals rule so a good old 1-0 to the Arsenal would be enough. Good luck to them. On the mens side, it’s all about injuries and if reports in the […]
