The seven-point itch: Can Arsenal finally pull away from the chasing pack?
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 [...]

Arsenal must rediscover domestic ruthlessness against united tomorrow
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. We heard from Mikel Arteta yesterday and I guess the first thing to be happy about is that Hincapie and Calafiori are [...]

Fresh legs vs. old habits: Can a rejuvenated Arsenal finally find the clinical edge against Everton?
I have mixed feelings about tonight's game away at Everton, you know. One the one hand, we have had a full week of training for the players, there are plenty of training pics that show key players are back in the squad and fit for tonight, plus we got an update from Mikel that Big [...]

Concentration, taking chances and dealing with a low block: Wolves preview
Mikel Arteta was his usual coy and non-committal self when it came to the injury update in yesterday's press conference. 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 [...]

Some good news from Arteta on the injury front
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 [...]

The press conferences are done, we’re a little clearer on whose around for the NLD (sort of)
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 [...]

Hints of unexpected returns ahead of Arteta’s press conference
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 [...]

Arsenal must stop Xhaka to get three points today
Match day Saturday for The Arsenal and I come to you from just north of Newcastle, in the North East, albeit not going to the game today. Which is frustrating. But not as frustrating as it might be today if we can't capitalise on the fact that we're playing before both City and Liverpool, who [...]

Arsenal’s makeshift attacking options must do the business in Prague
Morning campers, hope you're all well on this here Champions League match day, in which a visit to Prague is on the cards for the team for one of the earlier kick offs today. Firstly, we have to ponder who on earth is now going to be playing up front, after Big Vik succumbed to [...]
