Arsenal fans are back for the curtain closer (finally)
It's here! Finally! the end to this dreaded season! Hoorah! Like when you're in the waiting room at the dentist and it feels like they are extending your discomfort out of some kind of sadistic pleasure, the Premier League season can finally be put to bed after today's round of matches. For Arsenal it represents [...]

Wait, what? Arsenal are playing Palace tonight??
Do you know what's really weird? It's match day today and yet over the last 24/48 hours I keep forgetting Arsenal are playing Crystal Palace tonight. It goes to show just how much this season is paling into insignificance already. Part of me thinks it's a good thing, because I'm not going to get worked [...]

Chelski v Arsenal: just three games left until it can all be over
It's match day. Yay... I'm sorry folks, I'm finding it tough to really get 'up' for this game at Stamford Bridge away to Chelski tonight. They have Champions League Football to play for, we have the slimmest of hopes of a potential place in the UEFA CONFERENCE LEAGUE, in which the name itself is as [...]

Villareal and Emery will look to hit Arsenal on the counter
Well folks, this feels like it could be pretty much it tonight, what it all boils down to and should the worst happen this evening and we sh*t the bed against Unai Emery's Villareal then the season is essentially finished in all but name. It feels like last chance saloon for Mikel and his charges [...]

Arteta should experiment against Newcastle
Before I get into the usual ramblings, have a look at these little beauties from a mate of mine Gav - Arsenal-related beer mats. Kinda funky. There's no update on team news ahead of today's pretty meaningless game away at Newcastle today and given the fact that the club is on a social media blackout [...]

Villareal preview: So much narrative swaying against The Arsenal
This is it folks. Crunch time. Game day. But not just any game day. We are here at season-defining game day. Again. Only today will be harder than any of the other season-defining game days we've had so far. For one thing the opposition are better than any other we've faced in the Europa League. [...]

Surround Lacazette with pace and punish Fulham in transition
Ahh man....my head hurts...four hours at the pub yesterday afternoon and a tomahawk steak for dinner and I have all the meat sweats and head pains. What I could really do with now is a bit of greasy food and then an Arsenal lunchtime win. I really don't want my brain to hurt more because [...]

Slavia Prague away: win or bust for Arteta’s Arsenal
Well now folks, this is it, pretty much, for this season, by my reckoning. Fail to perform tonight hand get a win (or a high scoring draw) and Arsenal go out to a team who have just had it confirmed that they have a racist captain and who never really offered much at The Emirates [...]

Evade a high press against Sheffield United and don’t hoof long, Arsenal
In the grand scheme of things the result tonight probably doesn't really matter too much against Sheffield United. Of course we want to win, but winning will neither cement a position in a part of the league we want to be at, nor will it enable us to climb the league to any significant amount. [...]
