A good weekend for the Arsenal, but attention now turns to Porto

Happy Monday folks - how are we all doing? Yesterday morning we did the Same Old Arsenal pod and had a great session discussion Saturday's win over Brentford, which was followed up by the perfect result at Anfield yesterday as Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw against Man City. That second half was interesting, [...]

It’s a good job Arsenal got Champions League football this season…

City gave Luton a bit of a hammering last night and whilst at first my instant reaction was 'oh no' I think the reality is that we need their schedule to be as packed as possible. The more games they have loaded in to their schedule the better and this will mean that they have [...]

Arsenal get shell-shocked in Portugal

That was a tough one to take in the end and I don't think I'm the only Arsenal fan that feels a little shell shocked by the way we lost that game away to Porto last night in the Champions League. Like, I'm not even angry or ready to pile in on the team, I'm [...]

Arteta will stick to the winning formation against Porto

It's Champions League match day and it's an away day in Porto for the travelling Gooners who will be soaking up some sun and some nice Douro reds in Portugal's second city, I'm sure. I'm off to Porto in the summer and I have to say I have a lot of jealousy right now that [...]

Can you change a winning side? Should you?

There's little time for basking this week, as Champions League is back on the menu and tomorrow night Arsenal take to the pitch in the first of our two-legged tie against Porto for a spot in the quarter final. It's an old-familiar foe for us; during the consistency years of always finishing fourth under Wenger, [...]

Arsenal can’t go full ‘Disgrace of Gijon’ tonight, but hopefully not too far off

Here cometh another match day, only this one is a little weirder than they usually are, on account of the outcome of tonight's game meaning LITERALLY nothing to anybody involved in Eindhoven. An Arsenal win keeps us top with 15 points. They stay on eight points and if Lens beat Sevilla at home then they [...]

It’s tight towards the top for The Arsenal

Morning folks, hope we're all good? After the midweek of pretty tasty results for us, the weekend fare wasn't quite what we'd have hoped for, as pretty much all the teams around us picked up points and it's dropped us down to second, a point behind Liverpool. But hey, that is always going to happen; [...]

Just the way we like it – routine and professional Arsenal win over Sevilla

If you're going to describe the perfectly professional football match in the Champions League, you'd be hard pressed to describe it any better than how last night's 2-0 win against Sevilla played out. Even the score line itself looks like a comfortable one. A 1-0 result makes you think "ooh, it only takes one corner, [...]

Arsenal need to beware the aerials against Sevilla

I think tonight might be a little trickier than some people might think. Going away to Sevilla and getting the result was good, but for some it might add a false sense of security on the outcome of tonight's match, particularly given our injury problems as it stands. No Timber, no Partey, no Smith Rowe, [...]

The importance of Odegaard and Jesus

Turns out that going Invincible isn't for everyone, eh? Well, if you're going to play that high a line against any Premier League side whilst down to ten men, then you absolutely get what you deserve. But I'll speak no more about them today I think, instead reflecting on what it means for us, because [...]
