The countdown commences and yesterday it was the opportunity for both managers to take to their respective press rooms to respond to questions from the press. As usual Arteta didn't really give up much on the team news and approach, but you wouldn't really ecpect him to because: He hasn't done that all season anyway. [...]
Well I must admit I did not expect Everton to do us any favours yesterday, so didn't bother watching the game between them and Liverpool at Goodison. It helped I was out for dinner with friends, I'll admit, but when I asked the Management to check her phone for the score (superstitious fan in me [...]
Well, that was a bloody load of fun, wasn’t it? Pre game I was nervous. I’ll hold my hands up to that. I didn’t know what kind of Chelsea we’d be up against. Pochettino said beforehand Palmer would be missing, that Gusto wouldn’t be there and that Chilwell wasn’t fit. I’ve heard that story before. [...]
It's another match day today and another opportunity for me to get too worried and stressed ahead of yet another 'cup final' for The Arsenal, as we take on Chelsea at the Emirates in what I believe, is going to be a very tough game.

Arsenal overcome Wolves to keep their title hopes alive in April 2024 with a 2-0 victory.
Mikel Arteta had his press conference in the afternoon yesterday and the first good news is that Timber aside, everyone is fine to play this evening. I had a look at Wolves yesterday and from what Gary O'Neill said in his press conference, there is no Neto, as he has only just come back from [...]
And so the Champions League run for The Arsenal comes to an end. Not with a bang, but sadly with a bit of a whimper, as Bayern saw out a tense affair in Munich by beating us 1-0 with that second half headed goal by Kimmich. It was a momentary lapse of concentration from our [...]
It's the big one today and potentially a season-defining one, although I really wish that it wasn't, because I do worry what might happen if we go out tonight. That's a very real possibility, because: We do not have an amazing pedigree in Europe. We have a pretty pants record against Bayern. We've just come [...]
Yesterday was not a fun day. Yesterday a big chunk of hope that we might end the wait for a league title crumbled away. Yes, we are just two points off Man City and yes, there are a few games left still to play, but we aren't up against any other team. We all know [...]
I've calmed down a little bit from my initial rage at the final whistle last night. Calmed down, but still not completely calm, because that last moment of the game should have, I think, been a penalty on Bukayo Saka. Let me show my workings here on how I get this conclusion: Neuer makes clear [...]
