Skip to content Me having suggested that perhaps they’d take the day off yesterday, of course Mikel Arteta rocked up to do his press conference in the afternoon after I’d posted some thoughts, such is my luck. I don’t mind, it gives me something to have a look at on an Easter Saturday morning, although […]
Arsenal need to capitalise on their current standing in the game – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content With all of the noise around the Madrid win still beautifully ringing in our collective ears, it’s easy to forget that we have another game in to days time, which will be the trip to Portman Road to take on the Tractor Boys. As it’s Good Friday, I wondered whether we’d have […]
Arsenal must win the psychological battles early tomorrow – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content Tis’ a curious thing, is hope. Whether you have your dosage delivered high, or whether yours is barely discernible to the naked eye, it can lead to a whole spectrum of different actions and emotions in humans. Take the Real Madrid fans and media right now; they are talking up anything and […]
Rotation the aim for Brentford today – but mindset has to remain strong – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content Morning campers, how we all doing? Weird one, this one today, innit? I mean, we have ourselves a match day, we have ourselves an Arsenal home game and we have ourselves a pressing need to probably at least win four of our last seven to be assured of the second spot in […]
An historic night at The Emirates as Arsenal smash Real Madrid – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content Well, well, well. Did I not expect that. Wowsers. I mean, I knew that Real Madrid were ‘getable’. I knew they had weaknesses. I knew that they had issues at full back and that’s where we, as a team, tend to excel with the personnel that we have. But still…this is Real […]
Another Arsenal draw as officiating has us all saying “what’s the point?” – Suburban Gooners
It’s really hard to go in to too much detail on yesterday’s game for me personally because, frankly, it played out just as I expected it to. At the end of the match I said on social media “that’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back” and so it would come to pass […]
An Arsenal injury season like no other – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content It wasn’t until Arteta’s post-match comments after the Fulham win that I realised that this Saturday lunchtime we could be travelling to Fulham with an entire defensive back line missing depending on what he says in his presser today. Calafiori, Gabriel, White and Tomiyasu all out. Timber came off and if he’s […]
Gyokeres and Berta on Arsenal fans’ lips – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content Arsenal confirmed yesterday what we all already knew; Andrea Berta joining us as Sporting Director having left his post at Atletico Madrid at the end of 2024. As you’d expect, the official announcement doesn’t really give much intel or information on his thoughts and philosophies, but you’d expect that given that it’s […]
Saka’s back and we’re all thankful of that! – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content Is there anything more wholesome to see than a Bukayo Saka smiling back at you from the club cameraman’s picture at London Colney, to confirm that he’s back in full training? And I have to say, you have to marvel at the club’s medical team for their accuracy on this return. Now, […]
Projecting an Arsenal conspiracy theory – MLS, Calafiori and Gabriel’s futures linked? – Suburban Gooners
Skip to content I watched about 10 minutes of the England game last night, just before Declan Rice made the assist for some unknown footballer who I willst not name, mainly to get five to ten minutes of seeing Myles Lewis-Skelly at this level. From a confidence perspective clearly he doesn’t lack that and you […]
