Iiiit's matchday people! And a pretty tough match day we have in front of us this lunchtime, that's for sure, because Brighton and Hove Albion are absolutely our bogey team. The recent form at the Emiriates reads: 0-3 loss last season in the Premier League 1-3 loss last season in the League Cup 1-2 Loss [...]

Profligate Arsenal come unstuck at Villa

That one was a tough one to take yesterday, because as Arteta put it after the game, we were the better team and should have put the ball in the back of the net. We knew what we would get last night. Under the lights, on TV, Villa playing well at home and currently on [...]

These are the games that could define Arsenal’s season – Villa away

I'd be telling you a big fat festive Christmas fib if I didn't admit to being anything other than nervous about today's game at Villa Park. I've been reading a few bits online, I've been taking in some Arsenal podcasts, plus reading a few Villa blogs too. They are cautiously optimistic. They know that it [...]

Arsenal and Arteta’s control – we’re getting used to it

Last night after I'd had my dinner I quickly checked my phone to see the Scum v West Ham score. It was about 20 minutes in and I saw that they had bagged one early so I put my phone down and tucked in to some festive TV. "I'm not watching the media love in of [...]

Professionalism, dominance and control – Arsenal need to show it against Burnley

Another Saturday 3pm match day: I could get used to this. It's Burnley at home at The Emirates today and this is one in which we want to send the international boys off to their respective countries with a swing in their step and another three points on the board. In year's gone by the [...]

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, [...]

Should Arteta throw a selection curveball against Newcastle tonight?

Happy match day gooners! You nervous about this one? I know I am. This is going to be tough going this evening, I reckon, because it's a tough place to go, it'll be a cold wet one up north (not even remotely an excuse though), we have injuries and we've just come off of the [...]

Tomiyasu’s form is a shining light for the rest of the Arsenal squad

Morning Gooners - happy Friday! It's the calm before the relative storm today, as we head north for one of the toughest trips of the season - away to Newcastle in the Premier League tomorrow evening at 5.30pm. Arteta is due to do his press conference at some stage this morning, probably by the time [...]

Happy match day Gooners, hope we're all holding up well? It's the return to an unhappy hunting ground in recent years, as we take on Sean Dyche's Everton and for a team who hasn't exactly been one of the leading lights in the Premier League for many years, they have a surprisingly (and annoyingly) good [...]

Arteta keeping everyone second-guessing

Morning folks, how we all doing? I didn't get around to penning any thoughts yesterday about the game, on account of the stinking hangover, followed by having the parents over and then trying to trudge my way around a golf course first thing yesterday, so I thought today I'd reflect a little on the weekend's [...]
