An Un-Arteta-like performance, but grinding out a win can’t be sniffed at

There's two things you absolutely cannot do in life: Look a gift horse in the mouth Scoff at three points at Old Trafford There's plenty of time for us to all look at the performance, the individual clunkiness of some of the players and the fact that this felt like a very 'Un-Arteta'-like Arsenal performance, [...]

Arteta’s options show our strength – we need to prove it against Man United

Here we are folks - it's match day! And what a start we have to it, eh? United away. I know they won't be the force of 20 years ago, or even five years ago, but this is still Man United and it's still a place that hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us [...]

The pressers are done, so what have we learned from Arteta and Amorim?

Morning campers, how we all doing? The Premier League is now underway and last night we got ourselves our first glimpses of a Liverpool team that, as I put out on social media a week ago, I really hope defend like that all season. Sure, they still won and grabbed a last minute winner(s) which [...]

Here we go folks. The Premier League all kicks off this evening with the Scousers beating Bournemouth at home as they get a relatively comfortable home game to get themselves going. Us? Well, we know we have to wait and we know we have to play Man United at their gaff knowing all of the [...]

Villareal part of Arteta’s careful friendly selection process

It's another friendly match day today for The Arsenal and I'm intrigued to see how we line up tonight against Villareal. Will we see a pretty much first team rock up against the Spanish side? Or will it be a blended side from the start like in the Asian tour? equally, will we have a [...]

Arsenal have to leave it all out on the pitch against PSG

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 [...]

Just win, don’t draw: Arsenal v Bournemouth preview

By |2025-05-03T08:22:30+01:00May 3rd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, Match Preview, premier league|1 Comment

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 [...]

Expectations and anticipation: PSG at home

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 [...]
