Arsenal need to be ‘Always on’ against Sunderland

If last season taught us anything, it's that Sunderland are a side not to be taken lightly. That 2-2 up at the Stadium of light come over my birthday weekend in November, I was up in the North East, funnily enough, but on the black and white side, and Arsenal were gut-punched late on to [...]

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 [...]

Villa Park needs a big statement from The Arsenal tonight

We're around 36 hours (at the time of writing) away from the Transfer Window closing tomorrow evening, but thankfully for me, anyway, I'm less bothered about those goings-on and more bothered about what happens on the pitch tonight at Villa Park. We're at match week two all but completed, and the two familiar faces that [...]

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 [...]

PSG’s firepower vs Arsenal’s steel – some numbers to interpret what we’re up against

This midweek has felt like a weird one. There haven't been a ton of things to say, in all honesty; we've all been basking in the reflective glow of the Premier League title win, whilst also feeling a little weird that we have an arguably bigger prize in just two days' time. But as the [...]

It's match day, people, and the nerves have, once again, properly kicked in. Arsenal have it all within their own power to win a Premier League title. Just two wins. Just two wins. Sounds simple, right? Well, yes, the logic of it is. Arsenal start the first half of this two-part challenge tonight against Burnley, [...]

Fulham at home: Don’t let this be ‘one of those days’

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 [...]

28 days later: Bournemouth looms on the horizon

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 [...]
