It’s Brighton at home today in what is sure to be a really tricky encounter for Mikel Arteta’s men. For a number of years now, Brighton have been one of those clubs that you say things like “they play decent football” or “they’re a well-run club,” and over the years at The Emirates, they’ve given [...]

Within spitting distance of a final: Can Arsenal’s ‘job-sharers’ deliver a Palace knockout?

It's the EFL Cup tonight for The Arsenal and whilst most other teams are prepping for their Christmas schedule, our lads have to overcome what has become quite an impressive opponent in the shape of Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace. Admittedly they were pretty terrible against a rejuvenated Leeds United side last weekend and some of [...]

Fresh legs vs. old habits: Can a rejuvenated Arsenal finally find the clinical edge against Everton?

I have mixed feelings about tonight's game away at Everton, you know. One the one hand, we have had a full week of training for the players, there are plenty of training pics that show key players are back in the squad and fit for tonight, plus we got an update from Mikel that Big [...]

Arsenal need to ‘unlock’ the first half goal conundrum

Morning Gooners, we all good? I have to admit, I was kind of sad that I didn't watch the batshit-mental football match last night that was Man United 4 - 4 Bournemouth. Looks like a Christmas hum-dinger of a game and one in which I saw Jamie Carragher describe it as "the best of the [...]

The dangers of results-based analysis

After the final results from yesterday's 2pm kick offs was confirmed, I had a quick check in to see what the 'vibes' were like and to my surprise, there was a lot of doom and gloom going on amongst some corners of The Arsenal fanbase. I saw people saying it's City's title, that they'd win [...]

Concentration, taking chances and dealing with a low block: Wolves preview

Mikel Arteta was his usual coy and non-committal self when it came to the injury update in yesterday's press conference. So we got merely the continued "matter of days" schtick with regards to Saliba, Trossard and Timber, whilst Rice was the same with the manager admitting that it was an illness that he picked up [...]

It's Friday, it's press conference day and with Mikel Arteta having bedded back in some of our strikers in midweek's Champions League win, I'm interested to see in what kind of mood he might be today. Hopefully it is a jovial one, because the frustration and annoyance of last Saturday's defeat has been countered with [...]

Use the pain to fuel the next run

In the immediate aftermath of Saturday's result, as well as yesterday, I decided to pretty much just stay away from all things football. I was with my family for the weekend, it was a bit of a family party, I didn't want to ruin it by thinking too much about the last-gasp winner, because I [...]

Villa away: A curious opponent for The Arsenal today

Didn't manage to compile some thoughts on Villa, what the pundits are saying and also how they play under Unai Emery this season, before the managers did their press conferences. But a lot of what unfolded yesterday with the pressers was kind of pushed to the background when, yesterday afternoon, Sami Mokbel broke the news [...]
