Well now, isn't it interesting to see the number of Arsenal players going down and not available for their international teams, eh? Of course, there are two sides to this coin, with an upside and a possible downside. I don't believe that Arsenal could get away with just chatting to international managers this close to [...]
Well, that was disappointing yesterday, wasn't it? Another League Cup Final, another defeat in it, and at this point, it feels like that competition is as cursed for us as the European ones are. Simply put, Arsenal only showed up for one half, on a day in which there were hopes that we could get [...]
Here we are boys and girls: Cup Final Day. This is our first one since Mikel Arteta took us to Wembley for the FA Cup, albeit behind closed doors, and it's the first time we've been at Wembley since we played in the Community Shield back in 2023. That day, we saw Kai Havertz and [...]
So, we've had the managers both say their piece ahead of tomorrow, and from it we at least know one bit of news - James Trafford will start in goal. I guess the second piece that we also know is that Marc Guehi can't play, but that was already a well-documented situation from the semi-final. [...]
Right. Now, with the dust having well and truly settled on our Champions League progression, eyes are beginning to shift to that Cup final on Sunday. Sure, we could probably take a moment to laugh at the 'Spurziness' of the Tiny Totts winning their first game of 2026, only for it to be worthless as [...]
My word, when Eberechi Eze hits the ball, it dun'half stay, hit, eh? His finish yesterday sailed past the Leverkusen keeper Blaswich who, up until that point, very much had the feel of Gandalf and was not letting anybody pass. He'd made six saves before Eze's rocket to break the deadlock and some of them were [...]
It's another big one tonight, as we host Bayer Leverkusen, and the nerves once again are kicking in. This is a weird fixture for me. When the draw was announced, there was relief about a possibly easier passage through the competition. WhatsApp groups were awash with 'take that' and 'lovely' comments. Then you get to [...]
Happy Monday, boys and girls. It's a good one to be an Arsenal fan, that's for sure, but my hope for next weekend is that it's an even gooder one this time next Monday. Before that, Arsenal have the small matter of a tough home game against Leverkusen and then a tough Cup Final game [...]
Took the old man to the game yesterday. As we exited the stadium, he said: “That was one of the worst games I’ve seen live”. He's somewhat of a semi-Arsenal fan, mainly because of me, because his family is all from East London, and so he’s a West Ham fan by design, although more of [...]
Happy match day, boys and girls. Well, it will be if we win; otherwise, curse this infernal day. It's Everton at The Emirates, and yesterday Mikel Arteta and David Moyes had their respective press conferences. I want to obviously focus on Arteta's press conference, which I thought was one of the best that he's done [...]
