Only one place to start today, which is with The Arsenal Women, who did what I think most of us would agree was the unthinkable, by sinking Barcelona Femini. That Barca team tend to down anyone they come across, so to completely shut them out and then see the final stages over the line after [...]
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that i'm supremely confident about tonight. In truth, that home defeat to PSG rocked me a little, because I thought we would give a better account of ourselves. We've known about our profligacy in front of goal all season and I saw that Donnarumma made [...]
Premier League action today for The Arsenal and, for me, there are just three requirements today: Win Don't lose Don't draw The latter particularly. I'm getting pretty fed up with draws this season and whilst I know the context of some of the early ones, as well as some of the ones latterly, we really [...]
It's the big one tonight. The season-definer (until, maybe, next week in Paris), the one in which glory could be found like Madrid at home, or gut punch can be received, like the home defeat to Man United within the first few minutes in 2009. Arteta knows he will need the home support to replicate [...]
Tonight's game against Palace feels like a bit of an inconvenience for both teams, if we're all honest with ourselves, but Arsenal still have a job to do this evening. With Man City winning late against Villa last night, City are within five points of us now, having played a game more. The whole world [...]
Spent the Easter weekend with family, which meant less time available for blogging first thing in the morning, but had I jumped on here for some post match words yesterday, I'd have talked about a professional performance against an opponent who looked like the jig was up. For Arsenal the approach was good; the players [...]
Morning campers, how we all doing? Weird one, this one today, innit? I mean, we have ourselves a match day, we have ourselves an Arsenal home game and we have ourselves a pressing need to probably at least win four of our last seven to be assured of the second spot in the Premier League. [...]
It looks like it's shaping up to be a glorious few days of weather here in London over the next couple of days, but will the football tomorrow evening match that, given what we saw on Tuesday and the fact we have our second leg of the Quarter Final of the Champions League against Real [...]
We all know how big this one is for us tonight and if you didn't, then Mikel's selection decisions from last week's draw with Everton showed just how big, with: Partey rested Timber rested Odegaard rested Saka rested Martinelli rested Those are some of your big-impact players right there and for once in his career [...]
It's gotta be a quick one from me today because as I tap away from my keyboard the game is about three hours away, so I'll try to make it snappy (but inevitably won't). Firstly, some props to David Moyes, who joked that he's owed £50million from Arsenal fans because they sold Declan at £100million [...]
