Morning all. Arsenal take on Manchester Utd this afternoon in what has been described as being a potential mouthwatering clash between two clubs who have lifted the FA Cup more times than most. Arsenal, more than any other club with Utd just one behind. I’m far from convinced the match will be a […]
Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it? One day, any one team can be brilliant, the next, bang average. Look at Utd so far this season, they’ve been pretty poor to say the least but just as I thought Liverpool were going to give them a good hiding, they turned up […]
Morning all. A headline on Sky Sports yesterday read “Isak’s time to show Arsenal what they are missing” and he did. Would I like Arsenal to break the bank to sign him? Absolutely not because as good as he is, he’s often injured. Not that I think he would be interested in switching […]
Morning all. What a week ahead for Arsenal. The first of a two-legged semi-final in the League Cup against Newcastle Utd tonight, then on Sunday we face Man Utd in the FA Cup and then a week today we face Totts in the second north London derby of the season. It’s football every three […]
Morning all. As feared, Thomas Partey started at left back and to be fair to him, he did well but as suggested before, his absence from midfield was an issue. Jorginho simply cannot do what a fully fit and healthy Partey does. Kai Havertz was still poorly so he was nowhere to […]
Morning all. I was talking to a Man Utd fan yesterday, one of the nicest ones I’ve ever met I hasten to add. We had a bit of a laugh at each other’s expense about our respective clubs before he said something along the lines of “if Arsenal had a top-notch striker, […]
Morning all. What a great way to start 2025 as far as Arsenal is concerned. Mikel Arteta opted to give Riccardo Calafiori a start yesterday with Myles Lewis-Skelly on the bench. I’m sure a number of Arsenal fans expected to see Gabriel Martinelli on the right but no, 17 year old Ethan Nwaneri […]
Morning all. This was tipped to be Arsenal’s season to win the Premier League having finished second behind Man City for the last two. Third time lucky and all that plus City were going into a difficult period away from the pitch which I know I hoped would cause problems on it. City have […]
Morning all. I think the Arsenal surprise of season so far has been Myles Lewis-Skelly. He played a bit, then a bit more and right now, he seems to be Mikel Arteta’s preferred left-back. It’s easy to believe he’s been playing because of injuries because it’s true but boy, has he taken the chance […]
Morning all. Our last game was a bit of a huff and puff to secure victory despite dominating possession. Pre match though, there was a bit of excitement as Santi Cazorla was at The Emirates and before the game, in the Live from N5 […]
Morning all. We are half way through this 2024/25 season and once again, our defending is the best in the league. Perhaps it hasn’t always seemed that way during the last five months but we have kept more clean sheets (seven – level with Liverpool ) and conceded fewer goals (16) than any other […]
Morning all. We won and that’s about it really. Arsenal against a defensive setup is seldom easy on the eye and last night was no exception. Lots of possession but thankfully, we got the goal needed to win the game. The goal itself was brilliant in my opinion, not because it was flash etc […]
