There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone's life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation - loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the [...]

The away day countdown: Why Wolves and the NLD are the season’s real markers

With our game at home to Wigan not on until tomorrow late afternoon, today has felt like a bit of a barren wasteland so far, if I'm honest. I got up, did a whole bunch of jobs, didn't get around to penning some thoughts until now, but there's not a ton of stuff going on. [...]

Havertz haunts Chelsea once again – Wembley here we come

I really don't like Chelsea. I'd go as far as to say I hate them. I hate what they represent. I hate the way they started the spiral of financial doping that is now so prevalent in the game. I hate their game model of stockpiling players and then farming them out on loan. I hate [...]

Merino’s absence will make us all grow fonder of him

Well now. Wasn't yesterday's football a nice little bonus on a weekend in which we were comprehensive in our job, whilst others were anything but, eh? I watched the first part of the Villa v Brentford game before heading off for some dinner, so I didn't see Villa stumble in the second half, then when [...]

Unlocking the block: Control or creativity against United?

Match day folks! And it's time to put everything to one side - the worry of a resurgent United, the fear of a blip after City's win against Wolves, the concern over two goalless draws in the Premier League previously - and get the job done this afternoon. Arsenal go into this one with a [...]

The Premier League…Nobody said it was easy….

I've already spoken about that gnawing frustration I felt after Saturday evening's disappointing 0-0 draw to Forest. I know I am not alone. Even Declan Rice had been snapped mouthing expletives at the final whistle, which I think we can all understand, because that's what a lot of us were feeling at the time. City slip [...]

Saka’s signing and big second half of the season needed

Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]

Can you grasp the opportunity?

Well now. That was one heck of a successful hate-watch midweek edition, wasn’t it? The Scum lost to a last-gasp winner (and the manager tries everything, including being given an Arsenal cup and told to drink from it because they’ve ’bottled’ some of Mikel Arteta’s tactical ju-ju in there Man United can’t hold off Burnley [...]

Gearing up for Liverpool: this won’t be easy despite the pundits predictions

By |2026-01-07T08:15:35+00:00January 7th, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, History, Match Preview, premier league|2 Comments

It's a watching brief for us today and this evening, with our game on tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I said I expected some kind of upset in Manchester. Brighton is a good team; they picked up a win in their last game, but their visits to some of the so-called 'big clubs' of [...]
