Rotation the aim for Brentford today – but mindset has to remain strong

Morning campers, how we all doing? Weird one, this one today, innit? I mean, we have ourselves a match day, we have ourselves an Arsenal home game and we have ourselves a pressing need to probably at least win four of our last seven to be assured of the second spot in the Premier League. [...]

Why do I have so much apathy about this season?

So defeats to Forest, a 0-0 draw between Brentford and Chelsea and a 0-0 between City and United, have effectively meant that despite getting shafted on Merseyside on Saturday lunchtime, there's not really been a lot of movement in the Premier League this weekend. The results as they fell mean that we're five clear of [...]

St Totteringham’s marred by the Gabriel news

Today, this most holiest of Saints Days - that of the feast of St Totteringham - should be a day of mild celebration and snickering about a club in the mud that can no longer finish above us. It has come rather early this year, but nevertheless, we should be chuckling away at the plight [...]

An Arsenal injury season like no other

It wasn't until Arteta's post-match comments after the Fulham win that I realised that this Saturday lunchtime we could be travelling to Fulham with an entire defensive back line missing depending on what he says in his presser today. Calafiori, Gabriel, White and Tomiyasu all out. Timber came off and if he's missing you can [...]

As slog their way to a Fulham win with the return of Saka

By |2025-04-02T07:38:32+01:00April 2nd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Match Review, premier league|0 Comments

Last night’s 2-1 victory over a pretty average Fulham side (despite the fact they were in eighth before kick off) had a bit of a low-key affair to it, if I’m completely honest with you. Despite the fact Saka was named in the squad, despite the fact he came on to rapturous applause and even [...]

Saka’s back and we’re all thankful of that!

Is there anything more wholesome to see than a Bukayo Saka smiling back at you from the club cameraman's picture at London Colney, to confirm that he's back in full training? And I have to say, you have to marvel at the club's medical team for their accuracy on this return. Now, of course, he [...]

Arsenal’s need for silverware within 18 months

Back from a week off in the Maldives and having fortunately picked a week in which it's been internationals going on, from an Arsenal perspective it's been good because there's not really massive amounts to talk about. Well, nothing that you have probably not already read just about everything on. Then I check in on [...]

All eyes on Saka

I didn't really touch too much on comments in the wake of the United game about Bukayo Saka, made by Arteta, when asked about him. But I suspect just to re-iterate the situation he'll definitely be asked about the forward today in his press conference. Mikel's comments on Sunday were that his progress was good [...]

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 [...]

Does the Merino project have a shelf life?

Last night I was cooking dinner and I flicked on Sky Sports to have in the background. Almost immediate as the first feature story they had one of their reporters outside London Colney talking about the role Merino played at the weekend, whether he could be 'the guy' in at number nine for us for [...]
