City getting away with it yesterday against Leeds is no real surprise, but what it does serve to underline is that today's game against Chelsea is huge. It's a cup final. We have 10 more to go in the League. Arsenal are as much in control of their own destiny as 115 Charges FC are. [...]

The worst fixture of the year – the requirement is clear – NLD at theirs

There is only one solution for The Arsenal. There is only one result that is acceptable. There is only one way that I go to bed tonight happy. Arsenal is picking up all three points in the North London Derby. I've woken up feeling achy, with a headache, which means I think I'm coming down [...]

Starboy signed, NLD looming

Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]

Bottom of the league, but no walkover: Wolves still pose a threat to Arsenal

Morning folks - happy match day. Let's hope it is one in which The Arsenal are blessed with three points. We were all certainly blessed with mostly good news yesterday, as it was all but confirmed that Bukayo Saka has signed his new bumper contract. I was asked to give some comments on that for [...]

Mansfield and Wolves – an opportunity for rotation?

Happy Tuesday boys and girls. Let's start with some FA Cup news, shall we? After all, we did learn last night our fate and opponents in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup and as I hoped for last in yesterday's blog, we got the kind of draw that our compact fixture schedule could probably [...]

A day for Eze?

It's FA Cup Sunday for The Arsenal today and i've got to be honest, I'm absolutely hanging out of me arse. Had a lovely linguine alle vongole that I cooked for me 'n the Management and sunk a bottle of Soave and two cabernet sauvignon's whilst watching Brad Pitt in Bullet Train. So the standard of today's [...]

A bruising at Brentford: Stodgy Arsenal drop points away

I am in a quandary as to how I feel this morning. On the one hand, I'm really disappointed in the draw away at Brentford. We had an opportunity to keep City at arm's length, we had the chance to show our credentials, we could have laid down a marker for the league. In this [...]

Controlling the controllable’s: Thoughts ahead of a massive match week 25

We kick off match week 25 with a host of non-Arsenal fixtures, as the TV companies continue to feed from the money trough by spreading matches over three days, and I can't work out whether us playing on Thursday is a good thing or not. The Scum, for example, play Newcastle tonight, but then they [...]

Tough one, low block, but Arsenal need to do the business against Sunderland

Feeling a bit, well, weirdly nervous about this one today. Yesterday I touched on it, but it's one of those games in which everything - and everyone - is calling this a routine home win. The stats back it up, again, as I mentioned yesterday. Sundewrland aren't amazing away from home. And yet....AND YET...there's that [...]
