It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]

The homecoming: Hincapié and Havertz return, but Arsenal must be wary of Leverkusen threat

Half of me really wishes we played last night, so that I could get my fill of Spursiness tonight, because I'm deliberately tempering my humour this morning, because it is a match day for the Arsenal, and I don't want to wake the footballing gods from their slumber to come and give us a kicking [...]

Asterisks and advantages: FA Cup Draw and Leverkusen

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, [...]

Arteta must ring the changes at Mansfield

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 [...]

No time to bask: Short turnarounds and the looming seagull stress

By |2026-03-03T09:16:20+00:00March 3rd, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Match Preview, premier league|0 Comments

With around a day-and-a-half until our next game tomorrow night away to Brighton, there's no such opportunity as we had last week with the North London Derby, where we had a week off to bask and enjoy all the #content as the victors. Instead, just 24 hours after I was penning some post-match thoughts on [...]

Ten cup finals: Arsenal must prove title credentials today against Chelsea

City getting away with it yesterday against Leeds is no real surprise, but what it does serve to underline is that today's game against Chelsea is huge. It's a cup final. We have 10 more to go in the League. Arsenal are as much in control of their own destiny as 115 Charges FC are. [...]

The worst fixture of the year – the requirement is clear – NLD at theirs

By |2026-02-22T11:23:43+00:00February 22nd, 2026|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|2 Comments

There is only one solution for The Arsenal. There is only one result that is acceptable. There is only one way that I go to bed tonight happy. Arsenal is picking up all three points in the North London Derby. I've woken up feeling achy, with a headache, which means I think I'm coming down [...]

Starboy signed, NLD looming

Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]

Bottom of the league, but no walkover: Wolves still pose a threat to Arsenal

Morning folks - happy match day. Let's hope it is one in which The Arsenal are blessed with three points. We were all certainly blessed with mostly good news yesterday, as it was all but confirmed that Bukayo Saka has signed his new bumper contract. I was asked to give some comments on that for [...]

Mansfield and Wolves – an opportunity for rotation?

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 [...]
