I'm reluctant to kick off today's musings with a commentary that starts to make it's way down the winding conspiracy theory road, but given I've seen a bit of chatter online about Michael Oliver's decision to disallow a goal against City Group-owned Girona FC on Tuesday, then it has emerged he's refereeing us again on [...]
As we approach the first of four away games in a row, Arteta will have his thinking cap on today on who and how to deploy his resources for the next two weeks because, without sounding overly dramatic, I think this next couple of week's will shape our season. Tomorrow night maybe less so, although [...]
One more day to go until the big showdown against Liverpool and the managers have both had their say. So, what have we learned? From Arteta As usual on the injury front, not a lot really, but I think none of us expected to get any real detail to be honest. On Saka, Timber and [...]
Welcome to the part of the week in which we Arsenal fans should be calling this season: Praying time. It's that period in which we still have a solid three-and-a-bit days before we play, we won't get Mikel Arteta's press conference until tomorrow, so all we're doing is scrolling through endless speculative injury-update ITKs saying [...]
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 [...]
Oh god how I hate these interminable international breaks. It feels like, for this season in particular, they were sent to try us Arsenal fans, as Saka limped off last night in England's pointless 2-1 defeat to Greece. Honestly, I wish international football was just fired in to the sun. I suppose it's my own [...]
As you'd expect on the eve of the current Interlull, there's very little Arsenal news rumbling on at the moment - well, Arsenal men's news, that is. I am not really up to speed on much of the Women's stuff but I saw they lost to Bayern yesterday evening and after a disappointing draw against Everton, [...]
So it sounds as if we've got some returning players due to come back for the Bournemouth game, which is a bit of a relief given that Partey didn't go to Ghana international duty due to illness and Havertz withdrew with knee problems. I talked about Havertz yesterday, so won't repeat myself, but Partey also [...]
Well, well, well, it's all kicking off in the Premier League courtroom now, isn't it? Yesterday as I was about to start cooking dinner after work I did my usual switch on of the TV in the kitchen, to see that the first skirmish between the Premier League and 115 Charges FC has concluded, with [...]
