Game state could define Arsenal v Chelsea

This is a big one today. This is a match that is probably going to be one of the big two or three home games this season. The Scum is a derby, but they are clearly inferior. Liverpool still can't work out what they are yet I don't think, but City and Chelsea feel like [...]

Chelsea are an unknown quantity; Arsenal have to show their quality

It's the third match week in a row in which we find ourselves NOT playing on a Saturday and, if I'm honest, I don't like it. I enjoy change. I work in marketing and 'doing new stuff' is something I always try to adhere to as a work principle. Not when it comes to football, [...]

So long my Gabby, so long my friend…

I think even before the news broke of the Al Hilal deal for Gabriel Martinelli, we all knew it was going to happen. He hadn't been in the squad for the Community Shield, he'd looked a bit sheepish and reluctant to take part in the dancing and frivolity that day. He hadn't made any squads, [...]

Judge this Arsenal team on the pitch, not the Transfer Window

The good thing about us playing on Monday night was that it means we've got less time to wait until the weekend, and easily the biggest of the three games so far this season against Chelsea. Because of that, I'm hopeful that the thnkpieces from journos (and to be fair, bloggers like me) about how [...]

A schooling at the Emirates as Arsenal lay down a marker

The pundits said 3-0. The fans said 3-0. On the Same Old Arsenal, I said 3-0. In yesterday's blog, I reiterated and said 3-0. But all of that is talk. You still have to go out there on the pitch and do it. And yesterday, against the EFL Champions, Arsenal did just that. Back in [...]

Champions, under the lights, Coventry at home: Here we go again

Here we go, people! It's matchday! The Champions - that's us, by the way - kick off the Premier League season tonight with a home game against newly promoted Coventry City, and whilst I am looking forward to it, I'm also gutted that I booked a holiday to Portugal, where my plane leaves at 4pm [...]

Keep Ethan. Keep the squad. Keep the momentum.

Ahead of the Premier League kicking off for us on Friday, yesterday was clearly media day at London Colney, because we've had Men in Blazers doing an interview with Arteta, Sky Sports sat down with him, plus Dan Roan from the BBC also talked to Richard Garlick. All of the interviews are worth a watch; [...]

The big Vik question: Style vs substance in Arsenal’s attack

Happy Monday Gooners, and welcome to a new week, in which we are all hoping for some Bruno G news no doubt. But I sawe something yesterday suggesting that there was another Brazilian (not that one!) that we were interested in Joao Pedro from Chelsea. Makes sense; Arsenal have an unhealthy obsession with getting that [...]

Four goals, one big reminder about Arsenal’s future

We have some actual football to chew over and, I tell you what, there were some great finishes yesterday as Arsenal beat Girona 4-1. I liked Dowman's performance, who assisted for Kai's smart finish, then also bagged a good effort from the edge of the box. For all the talk of new signings, yesterday was [...]
