Riding on ‘hope’ rather than ‘expectation’ for The Arsenal at City tonight

And so it comes down to this. This collective of Arsenal players have worked hard so much this season, they have led the table for so long, but unless the result goes in our favour on a ground in which we haven't won on in over eight years and have conceded 20 goals in that [...]

It’s match day tonight and, I’ll be completely honest with you not only am I worried that we might not deliver the kind of assured performance of a team that sits top of the league, but I’m also slightly concerned about our season longer term. That’s because Arteta had his press conference yesterday and confirmed [...]

Ahh man am I hungover. Started off with a stein at lunchtime and it slowly descended from there. So I’m feeling a bit fragile this morning. Don’t make my day worse Arsenal, please, I’m begging you. City made light work of Leicester City as we thought and so it means that if we want to [...]

Arsenal must stop the long Liverpool diagonals

When I woke up yesterday morning I thought to myself: “don’t bother about City; they smash Southampton (who are terrible), it’ll be all on us for tomorrow, the media narrative will be set, just prepare for it”. But as much as you can tell yourself that, as much as you know what will happen, there [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday - match day! - and it is, as Martin Odegaard would put it, the first of our remaining ten 'cup finals' that we must overcome if we want to be champions of this here league. This is where it gets tough. This is where every game is going to [...]

Palace are an unknown quantity today for The Arsenal

After the three points were confirmed against Fulham last weekend, I gave a little fist pump in the air in my kitchen to myself. That felt like a big win. I immediately started thinking about this weekend. "If we can beat Palace and Leeds, then we'll be in a really good position to go for [...]

Trust in your squad, but go strong up top, Arsenal

Another matchday for our boys and it's Europa League action tonight to take centre stage of our minds. I think the mindset of Arsenal fans I follow online is so fascinating with this one, you know, because there seems to be a big split between whether or not we 'go for it' and play the [...]

Tough trip to the Cottage after Arsenal’s midweek exploits

Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]

Arsenal’s average record in Portugal means Arteta won’t rotate much

Morning folks and welcome to match day. Hope we're all good? Inexplicably and completely without any intention, I grabbed the first football shirt that I could find in my wardrobe last night to wear today for work (desk jockey who can work from home, so I pretty much wear what I want when I'm not [...]

Happy Saturday people.  And it is that most rarest of things for a football fan: The home Saturday 3pm kick off. Of course it's a joke that they are not televised these days, of course it's based on an archaic rule that should have been binned years ago, but as a match going fan I [...]
