Watford at home: It’s about momentum, not points
It's another match day for the Arsenal and as annoying as it is to be another Sunday game, the reason for it being this Sunday is certainly one that we can stomach, because it's due to the teams participation in the Europa League and the excellent performance that was Milan. In a way I'm kind [...]

Ramsey stars in Milan win (yes, it really did happen)
Today, friends, is not a day for talking down the lack of pace of the Milan side. Nor is it a time to dismiss the failings of the Italian domestic league as 'budget' or 'substandard'. No, today is a day where we need to revel in an Arsenal performance, because in 2018 we have not [...]

Just keep us in it, Arsenal
Morning all and a strange morning it is for me, because I'm not sure whether I want to go all out schadenfreude after those Tiny Totts lost at home to Juve, given that the footballing fates are so fickle and will probably punish me by seeing Arsenal all but out tonight with a hammering. On [...]

An ‘unprofessional’ Arsenal performance
If last Thursday's performance against Östersunds FK was what the players described as a 'professional' performance, is it fair to say that after what we witnessed yesterday evening, we were treated to an 'unprofessional' performance? Because that's what it felt like. Let's not forget that we were up against a mid-table Swedish team who had [...]

Some stepping up needed from Welbz and other rotated players
Match day for The Arsenal again and despite the fact it's the closest you could get to a dead rubber without actually being a dead rubber, I'm still excited to be going along to see The Arsenal play a game, having not seen one live in the flesh for nearly three weeks now. The opposition [...]

Appreciating many games and hoping for fresh faces tomorrow
Are we wearing red shorts, aren't we wearing red shorts? Does it really matter? This is the kind of news that you get as an Arsenal fan when everything else dries up because we haven't played for over a week and it occurs to me this morning that perhaps we are lucky, because with European [...]
