Arsenal get the psychological win they needed against Palace

Greetings from a warm and sunny Maldives. The Management and I arrived yesterday and have a week away from the cold weather in the UK, which is lovely, although it has it's drawbacks as I had to give up my ticket for the Palace game yesterday, which was the evening over here. And as I [...]

Christmas honours shared with a battling point at Anfield for The Arsenal

I watched last night's game from my parents house sat alongside another Gooner and, quite unusually for me, a Liverpool fan. He was my teenage Godson and at 15 he could do a fair bit of talking, so I was somewhat apprehensive of another potential defeat at Anfield. He'd already talked up Klopp as the [...]

Gabriel seems fine (phew), but it lays out the defensive tightrope we could be walking

We're nearly there folks...closing down on exiting this interminable international break and we can get our focus back to Everton on Sunday, which will be a tough trip as it always is for us, having not won there in what feels like a bazillion years. Hopefully we'll also have the benefit of having Gabriel back [...]

Timber blow means Arsenal need to have a rethink

I want to talk more about Arsenal related stuff and I of course will do that today, but before that let's take a moment to recognise the incompetence of the refereeing in last night's game at Old Trafford. Quite how Simon Hooper and his VAR officials didn't come to a conclusion that Wolves should have [...]

Arteta keeping everyone second-guessing

Morning folks, how we all doing? I didn't get around to penning any thoughts yesterday about the game, on account of the stinking hangover, followed by having the parents over and then trying to trudge my way around a golf course first thing yesterday, so I thought today I'd reflect a little on the weekend's [...]

Sweating on Gabriel, but not on Arsenal’s summer transfer kitty

Mercifully, instead of putting myself through the inevitable torture of expecting a depleted West Ham side to show anything like the level of fight back and drive they showed against us just a few short weeks ago, I didn't watch anything of the City game last night and just saw that at the end they [...]

Arsenal hold serve against woeful Chelsea

Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]

Round one of ‘Arsenal international damage report’ complete

This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]

Arsenal stroll in to the Cottage and out with three points

Well now, I must confess, I didn't expect to get such a comfortable afternoon for the Arsenal players in West London yesterday, that's for sure. Fulham were a side difficult to play against, especially on their own ground, with a week off and us having travelled to Portugal to play midweek too. This felt like [...]

A great Gabriel day – for him and us

Happy Saturday you wonderful people. It might be an Arsenal-less one, but hopefully you can find enough enjoyable other things in your life to have a good one nonetheless. The good news from an Arsenal perspective today is that Gabriel - the big one at centre half - confirmed that he’s signed a new deal [...]
