Morning all. Both Ismeal Kabia and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji made the bench for the game against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday instead of just the latter as has been the case recently. It might be that the suspension of Myles Lewis-Skelly opened the door for Kabia and nothing more. However, I’ve not read or seen anything […]
Morning all. Another day, another game, although after today, the players have a bit of a breather as this weekend is FA Cup weekend. No rest though as Champions League football returns for Mikel Arteta’s team next Tuesday with an away fixture against PSV Eindhoven. After a dismal performance against West […]
Morning all. I’ll admit it, I was banking on Man City doing us a huge favour yesterday. Even a draw would have been enough to lift my footballing spirits but expecting anything from Guardiola’s team was stupid of me. Liverpool breezed to a 2-0 win. The league title is theirs to lose […]
Morning all. Liverpool’s draw at Villa Park in the week gave us a little piece of hope, then West Ham turned up at The Emirates and killed that hope dead through Bowen. Why do Arsenal do it to themselves? Last season it was against West Ham and Aston Villa at home that […]
Morning all. Finally, we know our route to the Champions League Final, if we’re to make it of course. PSV Eindhoven is our next challenge and they’ll be difficult to overcome. Stupid thing to write though really as every opponent at this stage will be tough. A potential tie […]
Morning all. When Darwin Nunez fired his shot wide in the final moments of Liverpool’s match against Aston Villa last night, I’m sure I could hear every Arsenal fan cheering. Liverpool had taken an early lead but before half-time, Tielemans and Watkins had given Aston Villa a 2-1 lead. On the hour, […]
Morning all. Having already been fined £65,000 for failing to control its players, Howard Webb admitted that Michael Oliver’s decision to send Myles Lewis-Skelly off against Wolves was a wrong one. It wasn’t a “horrendous mistake” he said however, I think the majority of people who were watching that game would strongly disagree. Any […]
Morning all. The Arsenal women thrashed Totts 5-0 at The Emirates on Sunday afternoon. I bet Renée Slegers players wished they could play them every week as it was an easy victory. A Russo header deflected in by Totts Hunt, started things off with goals by goals from Caldentey, Maanum, Russo and Fox to […]
Morning all. I felt a tad disappointed when the squad was announced yesterday morning as I’d hoped to see more academy players on the bench than just Nathan Butler-Oyedeji but Mikel Arteta opted for players with experience over what position they played. I think we all expected the front three to be as […]
Morning all. With Liverpool drawing their game in hand with Everton during the week, the pre-match prediction of a 9 point gap opening up at the top didn’t happen. A 98th minute equaliser from James Tarkowski not only secured a point for Everton but it sparked a bit of nastiness between the two […]
Afternoon guys. The bad news just keeps on coming for Arsenal. After Gabriel Martinelli picked up an injury last week which is likely to keep him out of the game for a month, it seems Kai Havertz has picked up a hamstring injury which according to David Ornstein, is so bad he won’t […]
Morning all. I watched a bit of football yesterday. Arsenal women’s 2-0 victory over London City Lionesses in the FA Cup was a bit of a bland game but what I found quite amusing, rightly or wrongly, was hearing the “oooooooooooooooooh you’re sh*t ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh” being shouted loudly by what sounded like a […]
