ARSENAL V MANCHESTER UNITED ON SUNDAY AT 10 AM EST ON ESPN+
Guendouzi and Ozil…Arsenal’s newest enigmas
While their teammates were securing a 2-0 win yesterday over Southampton, Matteo Guendouzi was doing his Houdini impersanation, and Mesut Ozil looked more like Mary Poppins than a world-class footballer. What the heck is going on behind the scenes at Arsenal football? Now, I totally understand the Matteo Guendouzi disappearing…
Thursday’s win was big for many reasons
Okay, it wasn’t the greatest performance in Arsenal history, however, 3 points is 3 points, and the Gunners desperately needed a win after dropping two in a row to start the restart. Offensively, 10 shots, 5 on goal, and 2 in the back of the net. Defensively, a clean sheet!…

The day after hangover
We’ve all been there. Too many cocktails the night before, then the hangover the day after. That pretty much describes the way I feel this morning. The one exception, there was no alcohol involved, just a miserable ending to the match at Brighton and Hove. When Pepe hit his screamer…
Brighton and Hove 2 – Arsenal 1…the score says it all
Right now, I’m in shock! Did this really just happen? I really thought we could muster 3 points today and jump ahead of Tottenham in the table. Sorry Gooners, the word tank is dry right now, so I’ll be back later with some thoughts. No cheers today. Gunner1953
Will Holding and Pepe get their opportunities on Saturday?
After the humiliating butt-kicking the Gunners received in Manchester on Wednesday, Mikel Arteta will go back to the drawing board to piece together an injury-impacted back line, a non-productive midfield, and a front line that had little opportunity to contribute. Part of his restructuring plan should include Nicolas Pepe and…
