Arsenal held an open training day session yesterday at The Emirates, where the players took to the field and went through some pretty basic numbers, whilst also doing a few autograph signings, etc. That in itself is nothing ground-breaking or new, but the fact that Leo Trossard, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz all made it [...]
As you'd expect it's a wee bit quiet out there on the Arsenal front, save for the odd spurious transfer rumour, although I have to say my thinking has been dominated by the potential absence of Declan Rice for this weekend. Having been pretty clear of most of the Champions League chasing pack all season, [...]
Yesterday I decided to sit in the garden instead of watching the game at Anfield. It was relatively meaningless, I didn't want to see the crowing Liverpool fans, plus after the PSG exit, as I've already mentioned last week, I'm done with this season. So today's musings will be based on vibes and how I [...]
In what will inevitably now feel like the longest end to a Premier League season ever, Mikel Arteta will today be subjected to quite a painful press conference experience, I'd wager. Not only does he have to sit in front of the press and talk about the fallout from the PSG defeat and exit in [...]
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 [...]
Some days it's really easy to just brain dump a load of Arsenal thoughts on to the page. Today is not one of those days. I'm still kind of reeling from the defeat to PSG in the first leg, but what has struck me as interesting is how many Arsenal fans are actually quite positive that [...]
With Liverpool ostensibly going to win the league this weekend, naturally all of the talk has been about them, the great work that Arne Slot has done, how impressive they have been. So naturally with Arsenal not playing this weekend, that's taken a little bit of my focus today rather than the usual look at [...]
At this point in the season I'm not really sure what I can that is different from what we've seen for the large part of the football calendar. Arsenal have had their eyes on other things for over a month now and that has been born out in the results we've had over the last [...]
Tonight's game against Palace feels like a bit of an inconvenience for both teams, if we're all honest with ourselves, but Arsenal still have a job to do this evening. With Man City winning late against Villa last night, City are within five points of us now, having played a game more. The whole world [...]
Spent the Easter weekend with family, which meant less time available for blogging first thing in the morning, but had I jumped on here for some post match words yesterday, I'd have talked about a professional performance against an opponent who looked like the jig was up. For Arsenal the approach was good; the players [...]
