Arsenal scrape by against Wolves in another worrying day at the office
That was objectively bad yesterday. No 'ifs', not 'buts' - Arsenal just sucked a bit against a team who have made scoring goals and keeping them out look like Mission Impossible this season. I spoke about Wolves' form, about the problems they have, about the fact that they an injury to a key player and how [...]

Concentration, taking chances and dealing with a low block: Wolves preview
Mikel Arteta was his usual coy and non-committal self when it came to the injury update in yesterday's press conference. So we got merely the continued "matter of days" schtick with regards to Saliba, Trossard and Timber, whilst Rice was the same with the manager admitting that it was an illness that he picked up [...]

Noni does the business in Brugge
Well that went just about as perfect as I'd imagine Mikel Arteta could have hoped for last night. Get the win to get back on the winning wagon - tick. Rotate the team to rest up some of those important legs - tick. Give minutes to those who might be a little 'cold' in terms [...]

Villa away: A curious opponent for The Arsenal today
Didn't manage to compile some thoughts on Villa, what the pundits are saying and also how they play under Unai Emery this season, before the managers did their press conferences. But a lot of what unfolded yesterday with the pressers was kind of pushed to the background when, yesterday afternoon, Sami Mokbel broke the news [...]

Arteta has some selection decisions to make at home to Brentford
Mikel Arteta had his press conference yesterday and, as expected, give nothing away in terms of availability of key players like Saliba or Trossard. He did say that Big Gabi is a ‘few weeks’ away and given it’s the beginning of December, I think most of us would take it if he’s coming back for [...]

Chelsea draw – good or bad? I still can’t work out…
Even though the match ended over 12 hours ago and I have had time to digest the result and going's on in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, I'm still not sure how I feel about it, you know. At the beginning of the day if you'd have offered me a draw I'd have taken [...]

‘Statement wins’ and players of the season so far for Arsenal
What should we talk about today folks? More of the North London Derby, you say? Oh well, go on then, seeing as you asked so nicely... I want to start with a convo we had on the Same Old Arsenal pod last night as we were re-living the loveliness of Sunday's Hammering of Them. Well, actually, [...]

Big Gabi’s bad news means a step up for the two newbies
Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and I was thinking about the Big Gabi injury. I thought to myself "it feels like every time we get an injury update from a Fabrizio Romano or an Ornstein Bomba with regards to injuries over the last 12 - 18 months, it's always been worse than is first [...]

Big Gabi on his own turf
With Jurrien Timber the only concern for us last night in terms of injury worries, today becomes a bit of a quiet one, with a number of players playing today, including Big Gabi I suspect at The Emirates stadium, as we host the Selecao against Senegal. It's a bit of a Big Gabi fest in these [...]
