As is our situation right now, you, like I, no doubt, have a very nervous feeling in the stomach. We've been living this way for months, truth be told, so whilst this feeling of dread ahead of every Arsenal game is not new, it doesn't get any easier. I read comments like "Fulham have never [...]

I feel like the countdown to this huge Bournemouth game on Saturday lunchtime is well and truly on now. I remember talking about this one ahead of Southampton and Sporting Lisbon during the international break pod I did with Amanda a couple of weeks back. It's been looming over me ever since the last league [...]

Here we are boys and girls: Cup Final Day. This is our first one since Mikel Arteta took us to Wembley for the FA Cup, albeit behind closed doors, and it's the first time we've been at Wembley since we played in the Community Shield back in 2023. That day, we saw Kai Havertz and [...]

It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]

The homecoming: Hincapié and Havertz return, but Arsenal must be wary of Leverkusen threat

Half of me really wishes we played last night, so that I could get my fill of Spursiness tonight, because I'm deliberately tempering my humour this morning, because it is a match day for the Arsenal, and I don't want to wake the footballing gods from their slumber to come and give us a kicking [...]

The Havertz waiting game, and why we can’t afford another 2026 first-half lapse this weekend

It's Friday, so the official countdown feels like it begins now for this Sunday's big crunch match against the world's most reprehensible football club, Chelsea FC. Today we'll have the managers' press conference, which will give us an update on team news, which won't be very telling on our side. But as I sort of [...]

The worst fixture of the year – the requirement is clear – NLD at theirs

There is only one solution for The Arsenal. There is only one result that is acceptable. There is only one way that I go to bed tonight happy. Arsenal is picking up all three points in the North London Derby. I've woken up feeling achy, with a headache, which means I think I'm coming down [...]

Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]

A bruising at Brentford: Stodgy Arsenal drop points away

I am in a quandary as to how I feel this morning. On the one hand, I'm really disappointed in the draw away at Brentford. We had an opportunity to keep City at arm's length, we had the chance to show our credentials, we could have laid down a marker for the league. In this [...]
