With Mikel Arteta and Andoni Iraola not due to speak to the press until this morning/lunchtime today, I'm left looking at training pics and videos to try to guess some team news, as well as looking at what the pundits are saying about this tough one tomorrow. Firstly, the training pics and team news, and [...]

I feel like the countdown to this huge Bournemouth game on Saturday lunchtime is well and truly on now. I remember talking about this one ahead of Southampton and Sporting Lisbon during the international break pod I did with Amanda a couple of weeks back. It's been looming over me ever since the last league [...]

It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]

Winning ugly, Huerzeler’s tears, and the return of the defensive wall

It wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun to watch. Arsenal didn't play well and Brighton kept us penned back for large portions of last night's game at The Amex. But boy was that a big result. A huge one. On a night in which Nottingham Forest amazingly managed to pick up a point at The Etihad [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

The seven-point itch: Can Arsenal finally pull away from the chasing pack?

We find out team news from Mikel Arteta today, so we'll know what we're dealing with when it comes to tomorrow's opposition, Sunderland, but I wonder what Mikel is thinking from a tactical perspective? From a fitness point of view, the news we have all unofficially heard is that Saka is out until probably the [...]
