It's matchday folks! And I feel like I'm going to be saying this a lot for the remainder of the season....but it absolutely IS a 'must win', because even though Brentford have a great home record, they held City to a 2-2 draw on Tuesday night, I suspect Liverpool might win this one. They've drawn [...]
It's Friday, we've barely had time to breathe post the NLD, yet Mikel Arteta goes in front of the press at some stage today (at the time of me penning this) to talk about tomorrow evening's game against Villa - yet another 'must win'. Obviously looking ahead to that game is going to be the [...]
Football, eh? Most specifically, The Arsenal, eh? They put you through everything. Arsenal went in to last night’s game having battered two teams and been basically knocked out of two cups (I mean, come on, we’re not overcoming a 2-0 home defeat in the North East), piling up chances after chances in those games, with [...]
The big ones just keep on coming and after Liverpool and Chelsea both dropped points yesterday, Arsenal have an opportunity to put the rough start to 2025 behind them by going and picking up all three points against The Scum. Strap yourselves in, boys and girls, because it's North London Derby day. Or night. I [...]
Was travelling back from South Africa to Blighty yesterday, so didn't get to pen any thoughts in the wake of that FA Cup exit to a United side who - like a few before them this season - basically scored with the one chance they really fashioned. And with the games coming thick and fast, [...]
I mentioned it yesterday, I’ve kind of bitched about it a couple of times since the draw was made, but for yet another year we kick off with what is a really tough home game to Man United, in amongst a really tough run of fixtures this January, all whilst missing a few of our [...]
It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
I’m not going to bother getting in to the stupid League Cup ball nonsense this morning. It’s simply another way to bash Mikel Arteta for answering a simple question. Meh. What I am going to get in to, is the fact that we are almost a third of the way through this January window and [...]
Sometimes when I watch Arsenal, I just have that feeling of “oh no, this is going to be one of THOSE games” and after we’d created a couple of good chances before Newcastle got their first goal, including Martinelli crashing the ball off the post, I started to have that feeling. It’s the feeling that [...]
It’s another game in this hectic schedule for The Arsenal this evening and with a potential League Cup final place at stake if Arsenal manage to overcome an in-form Newcastle side over two legs, it’s going to be a really tricky game against a side who will fancy their chances with the way they are [...]
