No jeopardy, no creativity, no spark at Arsenal

After the defeat to West Ham at the weekend I took a bit of time away from social media and blogging. That defeat was the nail in the coffin for any lingering title hopes and I just didn't feel like dipping back into the Arsenal world to lament and stew on what has been a Seasonis [...]

Arteta’s archetypal ‘perfect day at the office’ as Arsenal smash Forest

I've woken up this morning to an absolute gale swirling around outside my house, but it was Arsenal who were doing the blowing away yesterday, showing their true colours to absolutely batter Nottingham Forest yesterday afternoon. Pre match talk was of how impressive Forest have been this season; they know their strengths and they play [...]

Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]

Forest will have ‘rope-a-dope’ eyes on The Arsenal – we have to control the narrative

With Mikel Arteta not due to have his presser ahead of the Forest game until 1.30pm today, I thought I'd go hunting around to find out a little bit about how our opponents have got on his season so far, as well as how their fans are feeling ahead of Nottingham Forest's trip to The [...]

Cash incoming for Eddie and Patino – with sell-on fees being more of a focus

You gotta hand it to ol' Fabrizio, he finds new ways to report the same stuff, eh? Yesterday evening it was that Eddie has agreed personal terms with Forest and whilst we've known this might be in the pipeline for a few days (the old 'cleared out his box at The Emirates' picture doing the [...]

Arsenal unlock stubborn Forest – eventually…

When I penned my thoughts yesterday morning about how the game would be another difficult to break down Forest side, that we’d be up against a team who wanted to rapid transition counter and a side that would want us to have the ball, I don’t think I envisioned a first half that was quite [...]

Arsenal need to banish the Forest recent history to get title talk back on track

Morning folks and back we are finally for another match day for The Arsenal. I tell you what, hasn't January felt a little sparse, eh? Owing of course to our FA Cup exit which has meant two rounds have gone on since we went out to Liverpool, we found ourselves with even more time for [...]

Can Arsenal benefit from fatigue ‘marginal gains’ in the next couple of matches?

By |2024-01-17T08:09:08+00:00January 17th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, premier league|1 Comment

Eugh, this is becoming intolerable now, this absence of football. I don't know why, but it feels even worse than an international break period. And there was even football on last weekend, which was supposed to at least keep me preoccupied until The Arsenal roll back in to town, but alas it has made things [...]

Timber’s season is done, Tavares’ Arsenal career is probably too

Howdy folks, how we all doing? Good? I've come down with a bloody cold, which is a bit annoying given I'm due to be flying to Berlin for a cheeky weekend away with the wife tomorrow night. Hopefully I've shifted it for tomorrow though. In the meantime, let's have a pause and a sad face [...]
