November to remember?

Arsenal went into their Champions League match against Slavia Praha with the news that Viktor ­Gyökeres was injured and likely would not be available until after the international break. He joins an injury list which includes Ødegaard, Martinelli, Havertz, Madueke, and Jesus. But despite the home side getting off to a strong start, the GunnersContinue reading “November to remember?”

One match at a time

There’s a lot of talk right now of titles, trophies, and how this must be Arsenal’s year, coming from the fans and media alike. And while it’s a great time to be a Gooner, some restraint is needed. Enthusiastic optimism is understandable, especially after a mid-week League Cup victory over Brighton, that featured 4 teenagers.Continue reading “One match at a time”

League Cup tomorrow!

The fourth round of the League Cup AKA the Carabao Cup sees Arsenal against Brighton tomorrow. Kick off is 12:45 PM and Maggie’s will have the match on! The first of two matches this week. Expect Arteta to rest Saliba, Rice, Martinelli and Califiori, all of whom picked up knocks last weekend. We will likelyContinue reading “League Cup tomorrow!”

When we last left our intrepid Gunners, they’d beaten West Ham 2-0, before the international break. After 7 matches, Arsenal sit top of the table. Sadly, Martin Ødegaard went off with a knee injury that looks to keep him out until late November. Arsenal are hopeful he’ll return in time for the North London Derby.Continue reading “Back to business”

Bursting bubbles

Midweek Champions League match against Olympiakos, done and dusted. A bit labored at times, but the Greek side are no slouches and Arsenal eventually wore them down. Full highlights here. Last weekend’s dramatic late win against Newcastle was a joy to behold. I must have watched Big Gabi’s stoppage time goal, a dozen times orContinue reading “Bursting bubbles”

Sunday at Newcastle

Gooners could be forgiven for running through all the feelings this week, where Arsenal are concerned. Elation over Martinelli’s late equalizer against City, frustration over not getting the win, sadness over Noni Madueke’s injury, and joy again over Eze’s first goal and a midweek League Cup win. This Sunday, it’s Newcastle away, and in recentContinue reading “Sunday at Newcastle”
