Arsenal defender William Saliba has made a shocking revelation leading up to this summer’s Euros in Germany about the Premier League’s best Centre-back. Saliba has been a superb player for Arsenal in recent years including the just-concluded campaign where the Gunners finished behind champions Manchester City for the second season running. The 23-year-old, who was […]
On this weeks episode of ‘Batsh!t Crazy Arsenal Talk’, we are spotlighting ex-professional footballer-pundits and their blatant non-objectivity. (AKA doing what bosses command.) John Barnes & Rio Ferdinand both stuck to the ‘throw cr@p at Arsenal and see what sticks’ narrative, with full effect over the weekend. John Barnes – Arsenal have to play well […]
Hot off the press!!!! A mate of mine at the UK patent office, just forwarded me a list of Trademark requests they have just received from Liverpool FC. 1 – Fist pump celebrations to the home crowd. (Klopp invented this don’t you know) 2 – Having a song that the crowd sings before kick off […]
Again, everyone’s favourite misogynist is up to his old tricks. Again, the only person related to football in the Middle East not earning £300k + a week, is bagging out Mikel. Again, I’m getting really concerned for his mental wellbeing. I’m guessing that somewhere in his murky past, Richard Keys was seriously wronged by Arteta, […]
Expectation and the Unexpected An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective It’s important to me that what I write is from a place of passion but balanced by the eyes of a neutral. That’s hard to do but important if analysis is going to be good. Max and I got a flavour of how much […]

HIGHLIGHT Paul Hepker: Two huge calls going our way for a change: a VAR goal check that, let’s face it, they could easily have fudged. Just drawn a red line and said “OFFSIDE”. And then the Odegaard handball. […]
Mistakes and Moments An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Dear Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs fans (there has to be at least one of you reading), This is an Arsenal fan who has been where you are. Well actually, we’ve been where United and Chelsea are but we’ve never quite been as nakedly barren […]
Good morning, Arsenal Women aficionados! Well, I didn’t expect to find myself here, discussing a home defeat to Liverpool in the Women’s Super League opener, in front of a record-setting 54’115 supporters at the Emirates Stadium. What started as a wonderful day to kick-start our challenge at the title, ended up with Jonas Eidevall apologizing […]
It’s Matchday 2 and only three teams have a perfect record. Only four other teams are unbeaten. The old cliché rings true: there are no easy games in the Premier League. The old “Top Four” that battled it out, year upon year, for Champions League spots, grew to a Top Five, and then Six. One […]
In the days leading up to the game the nerves became bigger and bigger for me. It just felt like a monumental game and I have never experienced a longer day than the Sunday waiting for kick-off time. Much has been said of the run in, a period in a season like no other. No […]
