Any eyes on Tuesday need to be refocused on Goodison for Arsenal today

It's gotta be a quick one from me today because as I tap away from my keyboard the game is about three hours away, so I'll try to make it snappy (but inevitably won't). Firstly, some props to David Moyes, who joked that he's owed £50million from Arsenal fans because they sold Declan at £100million [...]

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 [...]

Saka’s return brings the boost we need for Fulham

Arteta's words yesterday that Bukayo Saka is "ready to go" were like a perfectly harmonious symphony orchestra delivering their first sweet notes to your years of a summer concert. We've missed the Starboy, we've cried out for his ability to change games, we've longed to see him cut inside and deliver end product for us for [...]

Trent situation a cautionary tale for The Arsenal

I see that the Scousers are all getting a bit heated of Trent leaving for Real in the summer. As Arsenal fans, we of all people know the pains of contracts being run down - or the perception of it - so rather than banter them off I'm offering a little sympathy this morning I [...]

Projecting an Arsenal conspiracy theory – MLS, Calafiori and Gabriel’s futures linked?

I watched about 10 minutes of the England game last night, just before Declan Rice made the assist for some unknown footballer who I willst not name, mainly to get five to ten minutes of seeing Myles Lewis-Skelly at this level. From a confidence perspective clearly he doesn't lack that and you could absolutely tell [...]

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

By |2025-03-14T05:40:58+00:00March 14th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

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 [...]

Job done, rotation done, PSV done – Real next up

I have to say, based on what I thought we’d have yesterday evening against a PSV side that must have know the jig is up after the final whistle went on the first leg last week, I didn’t picture that there’d be much in offer on a relatively chilly night in North London yesterday evening. [...]

Turgid at Old Trafford as toothless Arsenal hit another low block

At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]
