Tricky one, this one today, because Bournemouth are no mugs. As Arteta said, Antonio Iraloa has created a well-drilled, well-coached, progressive passing (they’re seventh in the league on progressive passing numbers just behind us, Liverpool, Brighton, City and The Scum) team who have not had some of the results they - and a few - [...]
I don't usually lead with stuff about the Arsenal women, because I'm not as close to the goings on, but seeing the news break yesterday that Jonas Eidevall had resigned as Head Coach was a bit of a surprise, I have to say. It's also very unusual these days to see a coach resign rather [...]
Are we being adversely punished or something, as Arsenal fans, eh? Last season we had plenty of people chirping that we'd barely had any injuries. But we were missing Thomas Partey for two-thirds of the season, Gabriel Jesus was out for big chunks, Zinchenko was missing a few times too. Smith Rowe missed seven Premier [...]
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 [...]
As I went for my run this morning I was listening to my usual podcasts on all things The Arsenal (I usually get through two to three a week, mostly four or five depending on how much time I get to run with work in the way) and I was listening to one of them [...]
Last season I wrote about Arteta's archetypal 'perfect' game being against Brighton; it was complete dominance against a team who wanted to have possession of the football, wanted to control the narrative of the game on the ball and Arsenal allowed Brighton to create basically nothing. We got two goals, albeit slightly later than Arteta [...]
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 [...]
Decided to put the United v the Scum game on last night as I was cooking a roast dinner. Kind of wish I hadn't bothered, because it was ruined by a red card that effectively stopped it being too much of a ding dong game. At first I thought Fernandez was a bit reckless with [...]
At 3-1 the Bolton fans were chuckling to themselves with a rendition of "Johnny, Johnny Stones" to the tune of "Daddy Cool" by Boney M. At 5-1, they were singing in the rain. It's good to know that the dying embers of hostility still exist for them. For us it was an opportunity to show [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing this Tuesday? A lot better than 115 Charges FC, it appears, as they now have the utterly scandalous situation of playing Watford this evening at home, just 48 hours after playing us (which they were at home) on Sunday, as well as having played Inter (which was at home) [...]
