Morning all. The press, no, not the buffoons who stir trouble in the newspapers but the football press. Without it, Martin Ødegaard wouldn’t have scored. Arsenal harried the Olympiakos players, caused the error and gained possession. Footballing perfection really. I know I moan a lot about the mistakes we keep seeing but that’s because these […]
Morning all. Martin Odegaard got off the mark for Arsenal in spectacular fashion. 74 mins. Another shocking mixup at the back allowed Youssef El-Arabi to equalise for Olympiacos after the break. A superb header from Gabriel in 79th minute gave us the lead. Lastly, the biggest surprise of the night came when Mohamed Elneny grabbed […]
Morning all. The next three fixtures are huge. Two matches against Olympiacos with a north London Derby in between. One is for pride and three points, the other two are not only a chance to progress further in the Europa League Cup but to gain revenge for our exit from this competition a year ago. […]
Morning all. I’m probably one of many football fans who are happy to see Liverpool’s defence of the league title go so horribly wrong but it’s worth remembering that they have a glut of injuries and they’re still five points better off than us in the league and we’ve not had anywhere near the amount […]
Morning all. Let me begin by saying that this is not a article to suggest the club part ways with Mikel Arteta. I’ve said from the day he was appointed that he needs time. Time to make the squad his own. We all know what happened last summer and again in January. Players who he […]
Morning all. A moment of stupidity from Leno. Instead of hoofing the ball away from danger, he decided to play the short ball to Xhaka who not only had a Burnley player on his heels but being a left-footed player, had a limited out ball. Yes, he could have played a first time right-footed out […]
Morning all. Five fixtures, sixteen days. Burnley, Olympiacos, Toots, Olympiacos and West Ham. Win them all and Arsenal will be in a good place both in the league and Europa as we head into the international break. First up is Burnley. It’s funny because being an I’m A Celebrity viewer, I always smile when I […]
Morning all. I don’t know where the ‘Arteta to Barcelona’ story came from but in my opinion, it’s ridiculous for two reasons. Firstly, why would any manager want to move to Barcelona these days? Today’s Barcelona is not the same club it was ten years ago, five even. Not in my opinion anyway. Over the […]
Morning all. Isn’t that what football is about, building the right squad with the funds a manager has at his disposal? Not every player has to cost the kind of fees the likes of City, Utd and Chelsea pay. Sometimes a club has to go for an alternative, perhaps someone younger, or simply cheaper […]
Morning all. It’s been quite a couple of weeks for Arsenal. A thumping of Leeds, a trip to Italy, to chasing shadows against Manchester City. Another trip, this time to Greece where in a very tough game, we secured our place in the last 16 of the Europa Cup and then a long journey to […]
Morning all. Leicester City v Arsenal. A six pointer. Ok, I jest but if we can muster up a win, we’ll be three points closer to the top six and a Europa League finish. Arsenal have Rob Holding out for this one but that’s all. Leicester City however have a lot of players out through […]
Morning all. What a great tie for us, a chance to make amends for last season’s exit. Of course Olympiacos won’t be easy to beat because no team is at this stage of the competition. The tie of the round has to be AC Milan v Man Utd, especially for all the other clubs left […]
