I know it’s a little “Captain Hindsight” with what I’m about to say, but just as I got to my seat in the North Bank to settle in to a rotated Arsenal side take on a depleted and injury-hit Luton Town, I said to Nick and Lee - the gents around me - that I [...]
We're here at another matchday, as our month of intense football is now well underway, with Luton at home tonight. On paper at least you'd look at our April fixture list and say this is the one in which Arsenal would have the highest odds and should be considered the overwhelming favourites for the three [...]
It’s the big one today and, as I suspected but didn’t say, the butterflies and nerves for this game against City later on are starting to kick in. Arsenal travel to Manchester trying to do something we haven’t managed to do in nine previous attempts in all competitions. You have to go back eight years [...]
Big one tonight lads and lasses. It's a second leg Champions League tie against FC Porto and Arsenal have a one goal deficit that they need to overcome if there is to be more Champions League football played at The Emirates this season. Mikel Arteta and his players know exactly what is needed and they [...]
In the end, the job was done, three points were secured and The Arsenal finished the evening top of the table, with the ability to watch the Liverpool v City game without thinking that we'd fluffed our chances this weekend. But it could have been very different indeed, had Kai Havertz not stepped in to [...]
Right then, it's match day, so let's see what we're up against with today's evening opponents Brentford, eh? Firstly, their team news, which sees the Beeds facing quite a lot of missing players due to injury, particularly at the back, where Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey and Ethan Pinnock all remain out for this [...]
Happy Wednesday folks - still feeling pretty good about The Arsenal right now? I know I am. The goal difference, the defensive solidity, the form of players like Odegaard, Saka, Rice, Jorginho, etc, is all helping us to all start to feel a little more excited as we reach the real crunch point in the [...]
Yesterday I leaned in to the whole "let's just get the win and not get carried away with ourselves talking up goal difference, eh?" approach, thinking that I didn't want to tempt fate and have some pre game arrogance see us lose to a pretty bad Sheffield United game. How wrong I was. Apparently you [...]
I make Arteta right when he was in front of the press last week talking about tonight's game at Brammall Lane against Sheffield United: this will not be easy. I've seen a few Gooners online talking about the need to pick up plenty of goals and continue our good scoring form, but we're into March [...]
This morning before I headed in to the office I did my usual run to get my day started and I listened to another podcast that is on my regular rotation, from the lads over at The Arsenal Opinion podcast and they got in to a discussion that I've been thinking about myself over the [...]
