No new Arsenal manager until January

The big question on everybody's lips this morning: Will Freddie be in charge to oversee a glorious victory over Leeds United in the FA Cup? Of course I'm being a little flippant, especially given that we can't beat any team at the moment, let alone one winning every week. So the idea that we'll steamroll [...]

If it isn’t a ‘win or bust’ for Emery in the next four games…it should be…

Morning all. It's Tuesday, there's still a whole heap of the week ahead of match day, and this part of the international breaks are always the worst. This is the part where any residue news from before the international break has dried up, the team news ahead of Saturday is still a few days away, [...]

Domestic bottle job complete with pathetic draw to Brighton

Well, yesterday was a total shambles, eh? Although there was an outside chance we might be able to qualify for Champions League yesterday, those Arsenal players contrived to blow it, picking up just one point against a Brighton team who literally had nothing to play for, had probably spent the night partying and would have [...]

Patience and professionalism the key for Arsenal at home to Brighton

It's the last home game of the season today, a chance to say goodbye to Cech and Ramsey and quite unbelievably, a game in which winning could still keep us in the hunt for a final day top four spot. Quite how we are still in it is beyond me but bizarrely after the Tiny [...]

Top four is done, but Laca could still fire us to Europa League success

Unai faced the media yesterday and as usual never really said anything of interest, also not confirming whether Cech will play his last game of the season tomorrow against Brighton. I'd like to say that Brighton will have nothing to play for if they are safe, but Palace didn't, which didn't stop us from absolutely [...]

Auba changes the complexion of semi final

I thought last night's game against Valencia worked out well in the end, considering where we were on the 12th minute, a goal down and looking as ropey as ever at the back. But let's give some credit to 'home team Arsenal' - a very different proposition to 'away team Arsenal' - because they bounced [...]

Brighton showed we’re creaking; new blood needed

Howdy folks. Was travelling yesterday so I didn't really have much time to compile thoughts on the Brighton game but really, how many people want to read about the dross that we were served up on the south coast though? It was pretty turgid stuff throughout and even though we drew with Brighton, it felt [...]

Rotation of the front three is the only question Emery has against Brighton

Morning folks. Happy Boxing Day and also more importantly happy match day! This is a big one today because this Arsenal team is creaking under the weight of injuries and with a possible eight players missing from the first team, we're at a time in the season when the games come thick and fast and [...]

Festive fixtures frighten me – no slip ups from Arsenal

Happy Christmas Eve to you all and despite the fact Leicester did us a favour on Saturday, clearly it was too much to ask Everton not to be a complete shambles against Tottenham yesterday. You watch, when we go to Goodison they'll suddenly turn in to Pep's Barcelona, as opposed to the walking crash that [...]

Brighton defeat: Somebody end this. Now.

When The Management walked into the lounge yesterday at around 4pm and asked "how did they get on?" In reference to Arsenal's dismal 2-1 defeat away to Brighton, I think she was a little taken aback by my nonchalant "they lost. Meh. Do you fancy watching Blade Runner?" response. Her response pretty much summed it [...]
