I think, as League Cup matches go, that was about as stress-free as you're going to get. Even after each of the Ipswich goals, I never really felt even the slightest concern. yes, we had a rotated squad, and yes, so did Ipswich, but the 'look and feel' of this Arsenal side seemed exactly like [...]
Under normal circumstances, I’d be saying things like “I quite like these types of games tonight”. Arsenal in the EFL Cup, or League Cup as I prefer to call it, is an opportunity to usually rotate a few players, to take the stresses away from the Premier League, and last season it certainly offered that [...]
I do not want to hear another word from rival fans - City in particular - about how Arsenal 'get all the decisions' or 'have ProRef in their pockets' after what I witnessed yesterday. "ProRef"....ha! If that isn't the most ironic rebrand you've ever seen... That decision by the VAR yesterday was as bad as [...]
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 [...]
