Arsenal’s blitzkrieg in Holland has one-and-a-half feet in the quarters

Got a busy one today at work, hence the delayed time of penning some thoughts, as I'm dropping some words in between meetings and also on company time. Don't tell anyone - you know I'm good for it. And bloody hell, Arsenal were good for it last night, eh? I think one of the most [...]

PSV preview: Arteta needs attacking answers from his Arsenal players

It's hard to know what to make of tonight's away tie to PSV this evening. Ordinarily I'd be thinking that this is one we should be able to get a good footing on, so we can finish the job in North London, so tonight is about maybe racking a goal or two so we all [...]

How does Arteta solve the current profligacy problem?

Morning Gooners and welcome to a new week. After the disappointment of the Forest game I said I'd take some time away from engaging with Arsenal content and that's just what I did. It was refreshing. Staying away from social media, not engaging with any football content whatsoever, not listening to Arsenal podcasts, or watching [...]

No jeopardy, no creativity, no spark at Arsenal

After the defeat to West Ham at the weekend I took a bit of time away from social media and blogging. That defeat was the nail in the coffin for any lingering title hopes and I just didn't feel like dipping back into the Arsenal world to lament and stew on what has been a Seasonis [...]

That last little bit of hope ebbs away for The Arsenal

I enjoy writing. I always have. It's kind of my hobby. It's why I work in Marketing - I enjoy writing content and I get to do it (less so these days as I run a team that does most of it) in my job talking about the industry I work in. It's why I [...]

I think Arteta’s Sterling/Merino decision is closer than we might all think

Before we get on to today's task against West Ham at home, a word on the draw for the Champions League, which see's us up against PSV in the Round of 16, with victory in that tie meaning we'd be up against either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid. A win there takes us to the [...]

West Ham under Potter will provide somewhat of an unknown quantity for The Arsenal

Morning Gooners and happy Friday to you and yours. We've got Mikel up later today at some stage and he'll give us a  team update, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the inevitable 'Big lad Merino up top Mikel?" questions from the journalists. It could go a few ways; he could pour [...]

We had the ‘Ice Man’, but do we now have the ‘Ice Kid’?

I don't think i've ever spent as long staring at my phone in relation to an Aston Villa game in my life as I did last night. As the clock ticked in to added time it felt like the five minutes that was on offer (of which seven were played in the end...interesting...) lasted an [...]

Webb’s PR nonsense back in force in the never-ending MLS red saga

Happy Wednesday folks - hope you and yours are well. I don't know why I bothered to check out the farcical pantomime that was "Match officials mic'd up" whilst browsing through Sky Sports' website last night on the way back from work, but I did. And it was the review of the MLS red card [...]

The numbers suggest Arsenal’s season is similar to Liverpool’s last season

I was round my parents yesterday for the weekend and as I was starting the prep for Sunday roast with the old man I decided to put the game on between Liverpool and Wolves in the second half. It was 2-0, I wasn't expecting anything other than a slow canter towards three points for the [...]
