The homecoming: Hincapié and Havertz return, but Arsenal must be wary of Leverkusen threat

Half of me really wishes we played last night, so that I could get my fill of Spursiness tonight, because I'm deliberately tempering my humour this morning, because it is a match day for the Arsenal, and I don't want to wake the footballing gods from their slumber to come and give us a kicking [...]

The Havertz waiting game, and why we can’t afford another 2026 first-half lapse this weekend

It's Friday, so the official countdown feels like it begins now for this Sunday's big crunch match against the world's most reprehensible football club, Chelsea FC. Today we'll have the managers' press conference, which will give us an update on team news, which won't be very telling on our side. But as I sort of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Brentford fan thoughts and Eze learning the Arsenal way

With Arteta not doing his presser until today, there's still a bit of time for us to chew the fat over different things, so I thought I'd start today by doing that with the results from last night. Tottenham Hotspur. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I fully realise their next game is against us. I fully realise that there [...]

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 [...]

Closer together, scoring more: The tactical shift Benefiting Viktor Gyökeres

So it looks like it's City in the final of the League Cup for us in March then. The current top two are battling it out for the first trophy of the season, after Newcastle went out with a bit of a whimper against Pep's 115 Charges FC, of which Pep isn't happy that Marc [...]
