Does Arteta Lack Bravery?

I have pinched a post from Eduardo. I see lots of online ire aimed at Martinelli and Havertz for our lack of scoring, or should I say for our lack of scoring from the one or two chances we create per game that Arteta is so keen to claim should win us all games. Predictively, […]

BACK TO THE EMIRATES!

Arsenal FC v Manchester United FC Hello, and how are you? Well, as we enter the dark month of December made pretty by all the Advent lights, the Mighty Cannon is set to play seven games, so like you, I hope we can stay fit and healthy. The first of these matches will be against […]

OFF TO THE IRONWORKS!

Hello, and how are you? Saturday the 30th of November at 5.30pm (western European time) sees the Mighty Cannon make its way east for a visit to the London Stadium and West Ham United. I’m sure after the thrashing we gave Sporting CP last Tuesday, the team, club and fans all have a spring in […]

THE BATTLE OF STAMFORD BRIDGE, NOT 1066!

Hello and hope you’re doing well? Sunday the 10th of November will witness at 4.30pm (western European time) the Mighty Cannon hauling itself over to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea FC. Let me start by saying I have (thank whatever there is to thank) no solutions or answers, I’m someone that Trotsky has condemned […]

A TRIP TO THE SAN SIRO!

Hello, and hope you’re well, despite the Arsenal blues, or is it more like how Holly G describes her emotions in ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’: the ‘mean reds’? Anyway, red, blue or placid green, the mighty cannon makes another trip over the channel and onto the San Siro Stadium in Milano for a Champions League clash […]

CLASH OF THE INVINCIBLES!

Hello! How are you, hope you’re doing well? Tonight at 7.45pm (western European time) sees the mighty cannon take the train (etc) up to Preston, Lancashire, to take on Preston North End in the second of our Carabao Cup games for the 2024/5 season. So it’s back to Deepdale. I lived (suffered) on Deepdale road, […]

BONSOIR PARIS!

Arsenal FC v Paris Saint-Germain Bonjour! Comment vas-tu? J’espère que vous allez bien ? October the 1st 8.00pm (western European time) will see the second Champions League game for the Mighty Cannon, as we are set to task by the very chic Paris Saint-Germain. I’m sure for us all this is a very exciting game […]

Now That’s What I Call Football.

Good morning all. I don’t know about you, but I loved that game of football. We can’t yearn for the Champaign football of Arsene and then moan about how we made hard work of winning yesterday. For me it was the best we have played, at least on an aesthetic level, in more than 6 […]

GUNS NORTHWARD HO!

Manchester City v Arsenal FC. Hello! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. Autumns speeding on, soon the leaves will be falling like something described in a 17th century haiku, floating down gently to cover up the sneaky dog-turds that apparently bless you with good luck should skid in one. Its at this time of […]

Effective Arsenal.

Good morning all. That my fellow positives was, as they endlessly say, was a massive win. Humongous even. We went there short of two of our most important and consistent players, and came away with all 3 points. Marvelous. What more could we ask for? Well, funny you should ask that, because that question confuses […]
