This season has absolutely battered Arsenal with injuries from day one, so perhaps it is no surprise that I've woken up this morning to jot down some thoughts, only to find that Leandro Trossard limped off after 37 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 defeat to Israel in Budapest yesterday. I haven't read any comments that talk [...]
Before the game yesterday I would have taken the point. Sod the context of Liverpool being nine clear of us and screw the fact that you don't get many chances to overtake City and make ground on them, this was an away game against a tough opponent who had been in decent form. Yet after [...]
Mikel Arteta had his say ahead of tomorrow's tough encounter with Chelsea yesterday and, as usual, he was relatively tight-lipped on who was available. He confirmed that Declan Rice hadn't trained as of yesterday and I guess we all have to hope that his admission that he 'has to be vague' is just his way [...]
There's no way to sugar coat it today. There is no way to dress up yesterday abysmal Arsenal performance. There is only the truth that needs to be spoken and sadly what you're going to read for the next 1,000 or so words is that of a disappointed Gooner with very little positivity. Arsenal's defeat [...]
One more day to go until the big showdown against Liverpool and the managers have both had their say. So, what have we learned? From Arteta As usual on the injury front, not a lot really, but I think none of us expected to get any real detail to be honest. On Saka, Timber and [...]
Never have I been so glad of the frequency of games at this time of the season than now. On Sunday I managed to avoid stewing on the result to much, I had a little say on the Bournemouth game yesterday but thankfully, mercifully, we have a home match against Shaktar Donestk to focus on [...]
Spent the weekend at an AirBnB which had it's own sauna, cinema room, jacuzzi and pool this weekend, so when I woke up yesterday having watched the game on m iPad, I couldn't really be arsed to pen any thoughts. Why ruin a perfect Sunday ahead by re-living the memory, eh? A new week also [...]
It's another home match day today and it's the visit of the Saints and Aaron Ramsdale to The Emirates at three o'clock this afternoon, as we aim to continue our form going in to the international break. Yesterday I took a look at our opponents and the type of game we're likely to face, their [...]
Mikel Arteta will take to the stage today at London Colney for his pre match presser at some stage this Friday and ahead of that I thought I'd take a look at who we're up against tomorrow, in the shape of a newly promoted Southampton side, with a very familiar face about them in between [...]
Here we go again folks - match day! This is a big one because it's PSG at home and I think I'm right in saying it is the first time we've faced PSG since they became one of the financially doped football clubs backed by an Arab state. We welcome them tonight for an 8pm [...]
