I finished yesterday’s newspaper column, discussing what Arteta needs to revert to 433 next season, with an off-the-cuff suggestion of Said Benrahma. The reason I would describe the suggestion as off-the-cuff, or left field is because the article was considering the creative central player Arsenal need, and the Algerian, predominantly plays on the wing for […]
Episode 13 “Bad Football. Bad Banners.” Mark, Gav and Chris lament the lacklustre performance against Aston Villa, the banners above the ground, as well as the weekend’s dead rubber against Watford. Another bite-sized chunk of Arsenalness delivered fresh to your cranium. Tune in and see why the new Gunners Town Pod is gaining followers. Don’t […]
‘Typical Arsenal’ is how I would describe our last three results. Impressive displays against two elite teams in Europe followed by a game, where we fail to deliver when the emphasis is on us to impose our game. What the result against Aston Villa does is it continues to provide a gentle reminder that the […]
The 90 minute commercial Sometimes I wonder why Coca Cola bother with advertising. Where I live many people call any fizzy drink ‘a Coke.’ That’s when you know you’ve got a successful product, right? The Villa game was an inadvertent 90 minute commercial for the bleeding obvious…. that Arsenal need a creative player or two. […]
Aston Villa 1-0 Arsenal Premier League Review I must say – I like Villa. Like Arsenal, the biggest club in their city and region. And have won the European Cup no less – let’s be frank, we haven’t. And we had one of our greatest FA Cup wins against them in 2015. Arguably the greatest, […]

Another bite-sized chunk of Arsenalness delivered fresh to your […]
An exclusive report from the Athletic’s David Ornstein caught my attention last week. The subject was Ainsley Maitland-Niles, and his desire leave Arsenal in pursuit of playing time. Per the report, Maitland-Niles “senses a lack of trust in him from (Mikel) Arteta” and believes the time is right for him to sever his association with […]
Nine years coming POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES February 2011, I was truly impressed. Barcelona were peak. We were good but they were arguably the best team of all time. I always prefer to feel my football with my heart and the last time I was so impressed was this Barcelona game. We’ve won bigger […]
Arteta has certainly shown his adaptability in his use of different formations and systems since he took over. Pre COVID-19, Ozil was a regular feature in the side. 4-2-3-1 with Ozil in the whole was the way forward to get the best out of him. He’s the best player at the club who can drift […]
