Well, that was disappointing yesterday, wasn't it? Another League Cup Final, another defeat in it, and at this point, it feels like that competition is as cursed for us as the European ones are. Simply put, Arsenal only showed up for one half, on a day in which there were hopes that we could get [...]
Here we are boys and girls: Cup Final Day. This is our first one since Mikel Arteta took us to Wembley for the FA Cup, albeit behind closed doors, and it's the first time we've been at Wembley since we played in the Community Shield back in 2023. That day, we saw Kai Havertz and [...]
So, we've had the managers both say their piece ahead of tomorrow, and from it we at least know one bit of news - James Trafford will start in goal. I guess the second piece that we also know is that Marc Guehi can't play, but that was already a well-documented situation from the semi-final. [...]
Okee dokee, here we go, with the countdown well and truly on ahead of the League Cup final. The two managers will have their press conference today, and it'll be interesting to hear what the fitness and availability of the respective teams is. For us, I think the main concern is Odegaard; we know Merino [...]
Right. Now, with the dust having well and truly settled on our Champions League progression, eyes are beginning to shift to that Cup final on Sunday. Sure, we could probably take a moment to laugh at the 'Spurziness' of the Tiny Totts winning their first game of 2026, only for it to be worthless as [...]
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 [...]
It's match day, it's the league Cup Semi final, it's Chelsea at the Emirates. It is not exactly a 'must win', but certainly you want this Arsenal team to go out there tonight and deliver the kind of performance that sends messages to the rest of the world that we are ready to take the [...]
Arsenal went to Stamford Bridge last night, to a Chelsea admittingly short of a fair few important players, and absolutely bossed them to take control of this League Cup two-legged semi-final. So why do I not feel completely sated this morning? I think it's probably the feeling that this tie could - and probably should [...]
It's match day, it's a cup semi-final, it's Chelsea away, and it's an opportunity to put one foot in the final with a good performance today. This will be a tough game. Both in terms of the opposition, but also on their approach, because whilst Liam Rosenior is new in post and will inevitably impart [...]
So last night we learned of our opponents in the next round of the FA Cup, with Wigan confirmed as the visitors to The Emirates in February, which brings back all kinds of memories for me. The first was that gawd-awful FA Cup semi-final in 2014. Going into it we were the favourites, we were [...]
