Three games into the 2021/2022 Premier League campaign, Arsenal were in disarray. Zero goals scored, zero points on the board and rooted to 19th in the table going into the first international break of the season. Performances were incredibly underwhelming and pressure was mounting on Mikel Arteta, with many Gooners across the globe demanding a […]
It is looking increasingly likely that Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah could leave Arsenal for absolutely nothing after both have run their contracts down, expiring this summer. Familiar story for Arsenal fans. Players leaving Arsenal for free unfortunately is nothing new to the Gunners with previous heartache seeing the likes of Alexis Sanchez, Aaron Ramsey […]
Well it was surprising to learn that the Carabao Third round tie against AFC Wimbledon wasn’t televised and available anywhere. I cannot recall the last time this was the case; understandably this news didn’t go down well with many supporters who don’t have the opportunity to view Arsenal games without access to streams and television […]
I have genuine mixed feelings about the tough away tie at the Hawthorns tomorrow night. In the past, unlike with the FA Cup, I have relished the opportunity to see our manager blood youngsters in the League Cup and also offer the chance for those in the first team squad, on the fringes, to press […]
To commence his first full season as the Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta defeated Liverpool on penalties to add the Community Shield to the FA Cup, and then got the Premier League campaign off to a flyer. Up against the newly-promoted Fulham, the Spaniard sent out an attack-minded 3-4-3 to win 3-0 at Craven Cottage. With […]
For years, we’ve stood by and watched our best players leave the club. Transfer markets were like grey clouds in the distance; they couldn’t be avoided, what was about to happen seemed inevitable; rumours circled, players agitated for their ‘big’ moves, they left and misery rained down on the fan base. From our perspective, the […]
Having scraped a last-minute draw at home to lowly Fulham, Arsenal face Everton this Friday with a won now essential to stay in the race for Europa League qualification next season. Arteta will need to block out the European Super League news, which is everywhere and try to focus his squad on the games ahead. […]
Like a Panther POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES That was one incredibly well coached game. Slavia insisted on playing out from the back and were fine in the first phase. Second phase their midfield couldn’t connect. I watched, paused, re-wound the TV and saw what was happening. Arteta had set us up to tempt them. To […]
Ahead of Thursday, as you would expect I have been tasked with looking at the decisions Arteta needs to make for the second leg against Slavia Prague. Despite a formidable home record, and some notable scalps in Europe, the Czech champions showed little to frighten Arsenal in my view last week. The home draw was […]
A midfield general is what Arsenal have lacked since the days of the invisible wall, Gilberto Silva. Someone with athleticism, mobility and a relentless engine. But finally, after years of neglecting this fundamental profile, the Gunners captured Thomas Partey towards the dying embers of the summer 2020 window. The deadline day signing lifted the spirits […]
