WHO TO ROTATE?

Posted by & filed under News Review.

Luton pose a big threat to Arsenal this evening, they are dangerous because they have nothing to lose. They’re a prison lifer targeting a guard. Chances are low, but if they’re lucky, they could land a killer shank on our season. We cannot allow that to happen. The challenge for Arteta is absolutely clear: How… Read more »

ROTATION NEEDED, WILL ARTETA BLINK?

Posted by & filed under News Review.

It’s Tuesday, and I’m still feeling pretty good about that Manchester City result. However, the bland punditry surrounding Arsenal this season has put a slight dampener on proceedings. It’s all a little personal, right? Over-celebrating. A manager on the sidelines deemed disrespectful. Having a bit too much fun with the club photographer. And now, we’re… Read more »

GLORIOUSLY BORING POINT!

I feel like the… Read more »

DARK ARTS GAME IN THE MUD?

This international break has gone from feeling like a breath of minty fresh air, to smelling like sitting next to a hangover on the London Underground. We thought that Saka, Big Gabi, and Martinelli were all engaged in some dark arts preservation for this weekend. It turns out that might not be the case, and… Read more »

FIXTURE FURY

Posted by & filed under News Review.

The Premier League dropped the fixtures for some of the reworks needed before the end of the season… and they have not been kind to Arsenal or Aston Villa. The big issue? The break Tottenham Hotspur has been given before meeting us. Crazy as it might seem… they have been give 15 days. Tottenham play… Read more »
