Arsenal transfer apathy as a Maverick Piano Man drops in

Arsenal formally announced their first signing of the January transfer window and, as we should really come to expect, it was a low-key 'one for the future' that was snapped in an Arsenal shirt. So who have we got? A Konstant Maverick Piano-man by the sound of it, from PAS Gianna, which proves that not [...]

Defensive shambles, midfield absent, Arsenal reboot please

Watching Arsenal as a neutral must be great fun. A bit like Liverpool. Goals, but quite frankly, shambolic defenders and you have yourself a recipe for enjoyment from an armchair and a beer and not a lot else. Unfortunately for me, and I suspect you if you're reading this, the emotional investment in Arsenal isn't [...]

Which Arsenal turn up at West Brom today?

It's New Year's Eve and for the first time in a while that I can remember that is also coupled with a match day, so the celebrations of seeing in a New Year will either be helped or hindered by today's Arsenal performance. On the 28th in the main Arsenal played well but still contrived [...]

Are Arsenal two poor Christmas performances away from experimenting?

Happy Christmas Eve to those of you that are celebrating it today. Hopefully it is a good one for you and you can make merry with whomever you wish. Personally, it's a delightful time of the year to spend with family and after such a disappointing display by the players on Friday evening, it's a [...]

Arsenal show their clear fragilities – and it’s pathetic

Hello there you gooner, you. You alright? How you holding up after last night? I'll level with you - in writing this on the Friday night sitting on the tube making my way back to Uxbridge; I have an early morning drive up to Northumberland and do the chance of writing a post match blog [...]

Arsenal have lessons to learn to beat Liverpool

This is going to be hard tonight. Make no mistake about it. People can talk about Liverpool's frailties, about how Klopp doesn't seem to know how to set up a decent Liverpool defence, but this will test our Arsenal team significantly tonight. Defensively. Liverpool have a glut of players in form and plenty who know [...]

Welbeckian finish sees us get a semi

When at halftime you're handed a Carlsberg (this is becoming a habit Andrew) and you look up at the statistics, which tell you that you're opponent hasn't even mustered an effort, corner, as well as making just three fouls, you kind of get the feeling that the game isn't quite going to finish all blood [...]

Arsène spin machine dial turned to max today?

Friday is press conference day today and we'll get an Arsène Wenger masterclass in deflection today I suspect. After all, his team have been pretty blunted way from home all season and as a result we've never really broken into any form of any real meaning. But tomorrow provides an opportunity to pick up points [...]

Arsenal have no identity – West Ham away thoughts

As I stood in the stands up in the gods, with my feet numb through the ice of a cold midweek away bore draw to a very average West Ham, I couldn't help but think to myself: What are Arsenal these days? What is our identity. That's the overriding emotion I took from the stagnant [...]

Injuries to force Arsène’s formation hand tomorrow?

Morning folks. Gee-golly it's a cold one in London this morning, sure to be as frosty as Arsène's response when he's asked why he can't put together a team that can win consistently away from home. Wins against Watford, Stoke and Southampton this last weekend just gone would probably see us as one of the [...]
