Morning all. Thomas Partey, Nicolas Pepe, Mo Elneny and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will all be available for our New Year’s Day fixture against Man City as Sky Sports have confirmed all Premier League players will remain in England until the 3rd of the month. The rescheduled Africa Cup of Nations will be played in Cameroon between […]
Morning all. Could we have asked for more? Of course, we always want more but to give Norwich City a roasting on Boxing Day is good enough for me. Five goals too which which has done our goals tally no harm whatsoever. Covid-19 forced Mikel Arteta to shuffle his defence with Ben White moving to […]
Morning all. I hope the big fella in red and white delivered plenty of Christmas fun and joy to all of you yesterday. Now though, it’s back to business, at least it is for Mikel Arteta and his players. We’ve played every club once now so today is the beginning of the second half of […]
Morning all. Just a short one this morning to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and hope that however you celebrate this great occasion, you have a wonderful time with your family, friends and other loved ones. At the same time though, please spare a thought for those who can’t be together today for […]
Morning all. Twas the night before Christmas… I used to love Christmas Eve as a kid. After weeks of being banned from the dining room in our house, the door was unlocked and behind it was a big tin of Roses or Quality Street, savoury snacks and lots of fruit too. No presents though […]
Morning all. The semi-final draw for the League Cup took place last night, right after Leicester City allowed a 3-1 lead to slip by so that Liverpool could beat them on penalties and WestHam weren’t able to be Toots. Chelsea knocked out Brentford. Arsenal will now face Liverpool leaving Chelsea and Toots to battle it […]
Morning all. Nicolas Pepe has to be one of the most difficult to read players Arsenal have on their books. Not for defenders though, well, not usually. But the way I’d describe him is that he makes the difficult look easy and the easy look difficult. I thought he had a good game, especially when […]
Morning all. Yesterday marked two years since Mikel Arteta arrived at Arsenal for the second time. Too inexperienced was my opinion back then, certainly to get Arsenal back into the Champions League and definitely as far as winning the League title goes. To go up against Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola was always going to […]
Morning all. I don’t often take any notice of what Jurgen Klopp has to say but after yesterday’s match between his Liverpool team and Toots, he was right to criticise both referee Paul Tierney and VAR. Harry Kane got away with a shocker of a challenge on Andrew Robertson. Tierney gave Kane a yellow […]
Morning all. It’s hard to believe that this time last year we were closer to the relegation places than the top four. Now though, we’ll be sitting in 4th place when the big fella dressed in red and white, starts climbing down chimneys. Last season, a real star was born. We knew he was good […]
Morning all. Leeds v Arsenal is just one of two Premier League fixtures taking place today. Leeds have a glut of injuries to contend with and go into this game with a 7-0 thrashing by Man City still in their minds. Manager Marcelo Bielsa will want a response from his players, whilst Mikel Arteta will be hoping […]
Morning all. Five of this weekend Premier League fixtures have been postponed because of Covid. Leeds v Arsenal tomorrow evening isn’t one of them and neither is the only 3pm fixture of the day, Aston Villa v Burnley. On Sunday, Wolves take on Chelsea, Newcastle play Man City and then the late afternoon game sees […]
