A Kai-shaped ray of hope from Arteta’s presser yesterday?

Me having suggested that perhaps they'd take the day off yesterday, of course Mikel Arteta rocked up to do his press conference in the afternoon after I'd posted some thoughts, such is my luck. I don't mind, it gives me something to have a look at on an Easter Saturday morning, although aside from some [...]

Arsenal need to capitalise on their current standing in the game

With all of the noise around the Madrid win still beautifully ringing in our collective ears, it's easy to forget that we have another game in to days time, which will be the trip to Portman Road to take on the Tractor Boys. As it's Good Friday, I wondered whether we'd have a Mikel Arteta [...]

Arsenal must win the psychological battles early tomorrow

Tis' a curious thing, is hope. Whether you have your dosage delivered high, or whether yours is barely discernible to the naked eye, it can lead to a whole spectrum of different actions and emotions in humans. Take the Real Madrid fans and media right now; they are talking up anything and everything to suggest [...]

Arsenal’s mindset as Madrid preparations begin

I could have done a post match blog yesterday but, if I'm completely honest, I couldn't be arsed. It was a boring game, with a rotated squad and as much as Arteta said all the right things in his pre match presser before we played Brentford, the reality of what we had to endure was [...]

Rotation the aim for Brentford today – but mindset has to remain strong

Morning campers, how we all doing? Weird one, this one today, innit? I mean, we have ourselves a match day, we have ourselves an Arsenal home game and we have ourselves a pressing need to probably at least win four of our last seven to be assured of the second spot in the Premier League. [...]

Trent situation a cautionary tale for The Arsenal

I see that the Scousers are all getting a bit heated of Trent leaving for Real in the summer. As Arsenal fans, we of all people know the pains of contracts being run down - or the perception of it - so rather than banter them off I'm offering a little sympathy this morning I [...]

Arsenal’s need for silverware within 18 months

Back from a week off in the Maldives and having fortunately picked a week in which it's been internationals going on, from an Arsenal perspective it's been good because there's not really massive amounts to talk about. Well, nothing that you have probably not already read just about everything on. Then I check in on [...]

PSV preview: Arteta needs attacking answers from his Arsenal players

It's hard to know what to make of tonight's away tie to PSV this evening. Ordinarily I'd be thinking that this is one we should be able to get a good footing on, so we can finish the job in North London, so tonight is about maybe racking a goal or two so we all [...]

How does Arteta solve the current profligacy problem?

Morning Gooners and welcome to a new week. After the disappointment of the Forest game I said I'd take some time away from engaging with Arsenal content and that's just what I did. It was refreshing. Staying away from social media, not engaging with any football content whatsoever, not listening to Arsenal podcasts, or watching [...]

I think Arteta’s Sterling/Merino decision is closer than we might all think

Before we get on to today's task against West Ham at home, a word on the draw for the Champions League, which see's us up against PSV in the Round of 16, with victory in that tie meaning we'd be up against either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid. A win there takes us to the [...]
