Morning all. Well that was a shocker, again! I just don’t understand why, when there’s a left back in the squad, he doesn’t play or that a midfielder without pace, plays in that position instead. Nor do I understand why, when a perfectly capable box to box midfielder in Mo Elneny, didn’t start alongside Sambi […]
Morning all. This is a big game and Arsenal need a big performance with a big result in our favour. Not because the media suggest the wheels have come off but because it’s the best way to get over a defeat. Mikel Arteta’s pre-match press conference was all about injuries, Nuno Tavares, losing on Monday, […]
Morning all. Muscle damage to his thigh means Thomas Partey is unlikely to be back anytime soon. He’ll be assessed over the next few weeks, well, a few weeks is all what’s left of this season. Still, if he comes back for the fixtures in May, it’ll be a bonus. Arsenal are in a pickle […]
Morning all. The wheels have come off at Arsenal. One shocker of a performance and we’re out of the race for top four, Totts are the favourites to secure 4th place and even Man Utd have a better chance than Arsenal of pipping our not so nearest and dearest neighbours. Of course that’s not my […]
Morning all. What we all probably feared has now become a reality. Injuries to key players! The news on Thomas Partey is vague but not promising, Takehiro Tomiyasu remains out for a couple of weeks yet and Kieran Tierney has been pretty much ruled out for the rest of the season. I’m sure that playing […]
Morning all. How many times have we heard Mikel Arteta say there would be bumps in the road as Arsenal’s journey under his process continues? Yes, quite a few. Last night’s performance was possibly the worst this group of players has played since the turn of the year, so much so, it was more like […]
Morning all. West Ham, Totts and Wolves all won their fixtures this weekend but Man Utd dropped two points at home and Chelsea, the shock of the weekend, dropped all three at Stamford Bridge. I watched some of the Totts v Newcastle and I thought Eddie Howe’s team were pretty poor. I expect every […]
Morning all. The draw for the World Cup took place yesterday and a few interesting groups came out of the pot. England’s group could see players from Arsenal up against old friends and new. Matt Turner, who’s expected at the club in the summer, could line up against Bukayo Saka, Ben White, ESR and Aaron […]
Morning all. What a day of weather we had here in the UK yesterday. Wind, rain, sunshine and snow, big flakes of snow. Snow in March? Well, Alex Lacazette did score a hat-trick the day before… Not a good day for the Arsenal women though as Wolfsburg ended any dreams they might have had for […]
Morning all. The England fans who booed Harry Maguire last night should feel ashamed. I’ve never been a fan of the player but not so long ago, he was part of an England team which reached the Euros final. Were those same fans booing him then? If England fans want the team to go far […]
Morning all. Arsenal are playing well, individually and collectively. Mikel Arteta, his coaching staff and his players, many of whom have been under heavy scrutiny over the last 18 months, are now performing. Those who have been afforded an opinion on all things Arsenal in public, are now having to write nice things. There’ll always […]
Morning all. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mum’s out there. My four legged furry one popped off and bought me a bunch of yellow tulips. Beautiful they are too. Talking of celebrations, Mikel Arteta turned 40 yesterday. It’s hard to believe he’s been the Arsenal manager for nearly two and half years already. I […]
