Morning all and welcome to Friday. We're just over 24 hours until we take to the field against Burnley and we'll hear from Mikel at some stage today about the team news for this one and I'm sure he'll be asked about the fitness of a certain Thomas Partey, with whom the noises are now [...]

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 [...]

Defeat at West Ham – It’s the manner rather than the result that irritates

That was a pretty miserable night last night, if truth be told. I made the schlep all the way to the other side of London, to that soulless bowl of a stadium, having had to virtually sprint at every stage coming from West London as I had an over-running work event that I had to [...]

West Ham in the League Cup – what does Arteta do?

Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]

How does Arteta prepare for West Ham on Wednesday?

Given that Arsenal played on Saturday, I did something I don't always normally do, in watching the other kick offs that were on Sky Sports yesterday. Usually when Arsenal aren't on, I'll find something else to do with The Management and as a result I'm not usually by a TV, but yesterday I was hanging [...]

Some questions I’d love Arteta to answer today (he probably won’t)

Morning Gooners - a Happy Friday to you and yours. Matchday tomorrow at home to Sheffield United and it's the most glorious of things as well: a 3pm-er. Love it. I'll do a bit more tomorrow on line ups and Sheffield United and how they'll set up, but for now as we wait on Mikel [...]

Arteta gives little away as usual ahead of tough Chelsea encounter

Morning Gooners and welcome to the end of the working week! Well, it is from me, obviously I'm not sure if yours is too, but even if not, I wish you a happy Friday nonetheless. I decided to go have a couple of drinks and some Italian food with The Management last night, hence the [...]

Saka hope and Ben White appreciation

Morning Gooners, how we all doing on this Saturday morn? How optimistic are you that we might see Bukayo Saka on the pitch tomorrow, eh? A bit more optimistic than a couple of days ago I'll bet. That's because we've started to hear some whisperings that he might be ok from Sunday, with even Mikel [...]

Mistakes in both penalty boxes cost Arsenal at Lens

Morning folks. Hmm. That was a...frustrating....evening, methinks. In the immediate aftermath when I was annoyed that we'd lost to an RC Lens side that brought a decent level of press and a fanbase who were obviously super 'up for it' as a night in the Champions League that they hadn't had for 21 years (I [...]
