Yesterday I was writing about the rotten luck we've had this season in the wake of the Kai Havertz rumours. It felt like we couldn't get any more bad luck this season, the level we've had from pretty much August onward, but then I forgot the propensity of the footballing gods to keep on battering [...]
If Arsenal needed to bet it's house on something, you'd probably bet the exact opposite of whatever they do, right? "All on red for us" "Erm....yeah, i'll take black please..." I am, of course, referring to the news that Sami Mokbel broke yesterday about Kai Havertz, who is rumoured to have suffered a hamstring injury [...]
It kind of feels like an international break right now, doesn't it, eh? There's a bit of radio silence save for the odd snap of the team in Dubai, the players will all be flying back today so we'll not get much content of interest other than them boarding the plane to head home, then [...]
Happy Monday folks, hope we're all doing ok? Or are you as bemused as I was yesterday. No, I'm not talking about Liverpool being knocked out of the FA Cup to Plymouth, but rather the images that have emerged from Dubai which seem to suggest that Martinelli is in part taking some part of training [...]
Morning folks and welcome to an Arsenal-less Saturday. But of course Arsenal being Arsenal and this season being what it is (cursed), of course the dust had barely settled before we learned of another injury setback. If we all thought that seeing Martinelli get on the plane in the Dubai warm weather training trip was [...]
Happy Sunday folks. Hope you're all doing well. Still feels weird that most of the footballing world (in terms of Premier League Teams) are playing this weekend and our players are sunning themselves in Dubai. I know how relentless it all has been over the last six weeks or so, but I was listening to [...]
With such a barrage of football having been played in January and then ending for us this week, part of me is glad for a bit of a reset, but part of me is frustrated that it ended on a low of that Newcastle performance on Wednesday night. If we still had the taste of [...]
After just a few minutes at St James' Park I had an inkling that this game was going to be very much a case of Deja Vu for us up in the North East. A bouncing ball in the middle of the park wasn't won by Partey, Isaak was found in space in behind and Arsenal [...]
The up side of playing this evening in the League Cup is that we find ourselves - well, I do anyway - quickly deviating away from the disappointment of TDD with a match in which suddenly there's a wee bit of optimism amongst the fanbase. It's odd because when the first leg of this tie [...]
Transfer Day came and went with barely even the slightest of muffles from Highbury House or London Colney and, whilst I think most of us aren't really surprised, there's definitely a sense of frustration within the fanbase as to the lack of activity in the market this January. I think for me personally it has [...]
