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 [...]
Professional display see’s Arsenal safely navigate Wigan at home
Yesterday was as comfortable as you're going to get as an Arsenal fan visiting the Emirates this season. We all kind of suspected it; after all, I'd spoken before the game about how Wigan had recently lost their manager, were not in form, and, frankly, they probably feel like they could do without this cup [...]
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 [...]
The away day countdown: Why Wolves and the NLD are the season’s real markers
With our game at home to Wigan not on until tomorrow late afternoon, today has felt like a bit of a barren wasteland so far, if I'm honest. I got up, did a whole bunch of jobs, didn't get around to penning some thoughts until now, but there's not a ton of stuff going on. [...]
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 [...]
How do Arsenal overcome the Bees?
Preview of the Brentford versus Arsenal match this February 2026.
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 [...]
Everybody be cool
I was flying back to Blighty yesterday from me hols, so I missed about 55 minutes of the Liverpool versus City game. I switched on my Sky App as I was going through the airport, so I saw the Superb Szoboszai goal to put them one up. It was interesting because reading the commentary on [...]
