When a team wins so convincingly, scoring 5, you would expect that team’s centre forward to have been among the goals. So, when Arsenal did exactly that against Nottingham Forest, and Gabriel Jesus failed to score for the 7th successive match in which he featured, some in the media may have been questioning the Brazilian’s […]
The Arsenal produce one of their best performances of the season and yet again, all Richard ‘Past His Sell By Date’ Keys can focus on Mikel and the technical area. Within minutes of the final whistle, Keys was on his one man soap box about Arteta ‘hanging out’ side his technical area. “ Why is […]
Arsenal are in the middle of a bruising playing schedule and like most fans I was concerned to see the energy and urgency in the team’s performance drop off at St Mary’s on Sunday. Fortunately, Arteta’s team, despite their first dropped Premier League points since the defeat at Old Trafford, still sit 2 points clear […]

It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fanbase in general showed a lack of faith and a fair amount of concern at the end of the Transfer Window. The worries concentrated around a lack of depth in central midfield and also on whether the squad had cover to rest and rotate an over […]
It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fans were in state of panic when, with Partey and Elneny injured, the club failed to secure midfield reinforcements at the end of the transfer window. Undoubtedly the fans, and the media, watching a last evening scramble for Douglas Luiz saw it as a gamble, similar […]
For all the benefits of being a Premiership Manager, Mikel must be feeling especially pleased with himself, as he gets gratis accommodation, living RENT FREE……….inside Richard Keys head. Not for the first time, Richard Keys has gone on an another anti-Arteta rant. Following on from; “I can’t hide the fact that irritates me so much, […]
Killing the wrong team POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Did Manchester United deserve to win the game? Part of me thinks absolutely not.
