Arsenal inhibited against PSG

This one felt different to Real Madrid. I don’t know why, I sort of know how, but pre game I didn’t have the same vibes. Pre Madrid I was very much “ahh we’re underdogs and probably won’t win, so I’m here for the craic” but, as the game played out, things changed. Real sat off, [...]

Expectations and anticipation: PSG at home

It's the big one tonight. The season-definer (until, maybe, next week in Paris), the one in which glory could be found like Madrid at home, or gut punch can be received, like the home defeat to Man United within the first few minutes in 2009. Arteta knows he will need the home support to replicate [...]

Arsenal need to ‘do the job’ against Palace tonight

By |2025-04-23T08:49:33+01:00April 23rd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, premier league|0 Comments

Tonight's game against Palace feels like a bit of an inconvenience for both teams, if we're all honest with ourselves, but Arsenal still have a job to do this evening. With Man City winning late against Villa last night, City are within five points of us now, having played a game more. The whole world [...]

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’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 [...]

Quick look at Brentford – long ball and high press from the Bees?

It looks like it's shaping up to be a glorious few days of weather here in London over the next couple of days, but will the football tomorrow evening match that, given what we saw on Tuesday and the fact we have our second leg of the Quarter Final of the Champions League against Real [...]

An historic night at The Emirates as Arsenal smash Real Madrid

Well, well, well. Did I not expect that. Wowsers. I mean, I knew that Real Madrid were ‘getable’. I knew they had weaknesses. I knew that they had issues at full back and that’s where we, as a team, tend to excel with the personnel that we have. But still…this is Real Madrid. A team [...]

As slog their way to a Fulham win with the return of Saka

By |2025-04-02T07:38:32+01:00April 2nd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Match Review, premier league|0 Comments

Last night’s 2-1 victory over a pretty average Fulham side (despite the fact they were in eighth before kick off) had a bit of a low-key affair to it, if I’m completely honest with you. Despite the fact Saka was named in the squad, despite the fact he came on to rapturous applause and even [...]

Saka’s return brings the boost we need for Fulham

Arteta's words yesterday that Bukayo Saka is "ready to go" were like a perfectly harmonious symphony orchestra delivering their first sweet notes to your years of a summer concert. We've missed the Starboy, we've cried out for his ability to change games, we've longed to see him cut inside and deliver end product for us for [...]

Gyokeres and Berta on Arsenal fans’ lips

Arsenal confirmed yesterday what we all already knew; Andrea Berta joining us as Sporting Director having left his post at Atletico Madrid at the end of 2024. As you'd expect, the official announcement doesn't really give much intel or information on his thoughts and philosophies, but you'd expect that given that it's essentially just a [...]
