There we just two things that were good about yesterday's performance and result against Southampton: I predicted the line-up spot on Max Dowman Perhaps you could also point to the impact Viktor Gyokeres made from the bench, following up his goals for Sweden with a smartly taken finish to draw us level in that second [...]
At Arteta's press conference yesterday, he was inevitably asked about the withdrawals of players from international duty and - according to the official site version of events, anyway - he played the most impressive of straight bats. To be fair, he will have known these questions would be coming; he'd have been briefed by the [...]
Early preview of Southampton v Arsenal in the Fa Cup, April 2026.
I don't really write about the Arsenal Women. I'm a follower, of course, I want them to do well, and of course I watch when I can, but I can't profess to be an expert or know all the details about the WSL or Women's Champions League, so I kind of hold my hands up [...]
Yesterday I went through my preferred draw for the FA Cup, from the most favoured, through to the least favoured, which unsurprisingly had Port Vale at the top, City at the bottom. Southampton were in second and, as a team who are currently in eighth in the Championship and currently fighting for a play-off space, [...]
Sometimes I write my thoughts in the blog, then have to think of a title, but on days like today, the title comes first, because it's the overarching message that I have based on events that unfolded in Yorkshire for The Arsenal last night. First up, let's give some credit to Mansfield, because they played [...]
Happy match day, Gooners. With today being a bit of respite from the relentlessness of the Premier League, this early kick-off today against Mansfield represents an opportunity not just to potentially enjoy the build-up to an Arsenal match, but also to see some of the lesser-spotted Arsenal players in the starting XI today. Indeed, if [...]
Oh Dear. The Tiny Totts. Blimey. Crystal Palace, who are hardly a team you'd describe as in form, went to the w*nky Tottenham Hotspur and said: Much obliged. My brother is a West Ham fan. On my Dad's side of the family, they are all Hammers. He's been pretty down of late. But I messaged [...]
Happy Tuesday boys and girls. Let's start with some FA Cup news, shall we? After all, we did learn last night our fate and opponents in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup and as I hoped for last in yesterday's blog, we got the kind of draw that our compact fixture schedule could probably [...]
Yesterday was as comfortable as you're going to get as an Arsenal fan visiting the Emirates this season. We all kind of suspected it; after all, I'd spoken before the game about how Wigan had recently lost their manager, were not in form, and, frankly, they probably feel like they could do without this cup [...]
