I was driving back from the parents' place yesterday morning, before getting on with a day of work, so didn't have time to pen some post thoughts two days after the 0-0 against Everton. What I would have said yesterday, however, was that I was still grumpy about that game. It's games like that when [...]

Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]

Set piece evolution will have to come from Arsenal eventually

When Mikel Arteta started busting out "best at everything" lines in yesterday's press conference, it immediately invoked Stormzy's 'Shut Up' song and I had to have a little chuckle. I think from the transcript I read from the official site yesterday, there must have been at least half of the questions related to set pieces. [...]

Set Piece FC keep the points coming against United

That's three in a row in the Premier League now and after an initially poor / average first half, Arsenal turned it on in the second to secure all three points at home to a United team who are certainly more structurally organised under Amorim than under Ten Haag. The Portuguese manager had said there [...]

A good record at West Ham shouldn’t undermine the tough task tomorrow

In what is becoming a bit of a habit for me at the moment, I thought I'd go an check out the situation on some of the West Ham forums this morning, to get a bit of a vibe check on the opposition fans in the run up to our game against them. Unlike in [...]

Arteta leveraging his positivity stick to reboot The Arsenal

Eight goals in around 80 hours between Saturday and Tuesday has a Gooner like me rather excited right now. I seem to have eschewed my normal glass half empty mantra, which has been replaced with a really positive vibe about The Arsenal looking ahead to this weekend's game against West Ham. Of course, the feelings could be [...]

How does Arteta solve the right back rotation connundrum?

There's no rest for the wicked, as the Arsenal squad - and a fair few fans - make their way to Lisbon today ahead of our Champions League showdown against Sporting. I suspect we'll get an Arteta press conference towards the end of the working day today and we'll get a bit of an update [...]

Forest will have ‘rope-a-dope’ eyes on The Arsenal – we have to control the narrative

With Mikel Arteta not due to have his presser ahead of the Forest game until 1.30pm today, I thought I'd go hunting around to find out a little bit about how our opponents have got on his season so far, as well as how their fans are feeling ahead of Nottingham Forest's trip to The [...]

Arsenal’s injury woes feel never-ending right now…

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 [...]

Frustration at the Bridge for The Arsenal, but positive signs are there

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 [...]
