So, now we've heard from the managers, and we have somewhat of a team update, we can start to look at how Arsenal get three points in a London Derby that I am really nervous about. Not as nervous as before the NLD, but just starting today's musings has some butterflies in the stomach, such [...]
I don't know why, but I feel more nervous about this game tomorrow than I have done in years. Actually, scrap that, I think I do know why. Firstly, it's because this feels like a game that, unless we win, we may very well be on the verge of being out of a title race [...]
Preview of the Brentford versus Arsenal match this February 2026.
We find out team news from Mikel Arteta today, so we'll know what we're dealing with when it comes to tomorrow's opposition, Sunderland, but I wonder what Mikel is thinking from a tactical perspective? From a fitness point of view, the news we have all unofficially heard is that Saka is out until probably the [...]
Howdy folks, from an overcast Sri Lanka in which I’m operating on about two hours sleep, so please bear with me if my usual Arsenal-related rambling is a little more incoherent than usual.

So we got merely the continued "matter of days" schtick with regards to Saliba, Trossard and Timber, whilst Rice was the same with the manager admitting that it was an illness that he picked up [...]
So the good news from the press conference yesterday appears to be that despite coming off injured in midweek against Bayern, Leo appears to be fit, as confirmed by Mikel when doing his pre-Chelsea chat to the assembled media. That's a relief. Considering just how impressive he's been for us this season, losing him at [...]
Having spent the whole week lamenting the massive injury crisis that surrounds the North London Derby this weekend, both Arsenal fans and them got a bit more of an inkling as to how actually it's not all as bad as it seemed over the international break. If you look at the Premier League injury table during the [...]
Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Let's start with some positive news, which is that yesterday afternoon Big Vik took to his Instagram to get pictures of himself in training. Given how Arsenal spend so much time trying not to give anything away by clearly selecting pictures they know won't include any players [...]
