Ok I'm going to just go ahead and say it this morning: Anyone else have some slight regrets over the departure of Olivier Giroud? After he exited in that January window we signed Aubameyang. I don't think there was a single Arsenal fan who thought we now didn't have an upgraded attack with Aubameyang joining [...]
We had ourselves a video update from the manager yesterday ahead of the home game against Man City on Sunday and, as expected, Mikel Arteta was more than happy to wax lyrical about the team he was coach at just over a year ago. Of course all the way up there in Manchester we also [...]
Before this game began I looked at Benfica, looked at some of the players they had - the likes of Ottamendi and Verthongen as well as Rafa and Everton - and I was bemoaning our bad luck in drawing quite a high profile team in the first knockout round of this competition. This morning I [...]
Morning folks and welcome to match day Thursday, with the Europa League in our sights, as a trip to Benfica on the horizon. Well, I say 'trip to Benfica', but what I actually mean is 'neutral venue as part of two legs. Because As I bemoaned yesterday, the farce that is this current situation where [...]
I didn't watch any Champions League football last night, but I have seen the gifts that Liverpool were so generously offered by RB Leipzig last night, as well as the borderline free handout that the referee tried to leg up on Barcelona in their game against PSG. Honestly, when you see that given as a [...]
Nothing like a bit of intermittent internet problems to start off ones day, eh? It’s amazing how reliant we are on these little black/white boxes that pump invisible connectivity to all parts of our houses and when that goes temporarily we feel lost and bereft. So it’s a bit of old school blogging from my [...]
Another Thursday rolls around. I swear it is like the weeks are blurring into one right now, doesn't it? I don't want to wish my life away but I'm kind of at the stage of wishing this season would just blur away to nothing, given how it's gone for us, which is mad when you [...]
Howdy howdy party people and here we are at Wednesday. Just a few more days until the weekend but we have to wait until Sunday for the 4.30pm kick off before we play our match against Leeds. Man that feels like a long way away. Having been playing every few days since the beginning of [...]
Four games. Four wins. 12 points. 12 goals scored. Qualification from the Europa League group stages which means that for the final two games Arteta can rest some key players over a business period because unless Rapid win both of their games by scoring eight goals in the process, we should also top the group [...]
Morning all. It's another matchday and, I have to tell you I never thought i'd say this, but the Europa League represents some welcome respite from what has become the monotony of our domestic campaign. We are away to Molde in the group stages and tonight's game this evening represents an opportunity to try to [...]
