I don't know about you, but I'm still basking, re-living, re-loving the game from Tuesday night. I had a work thing on yesterday afternoon and evening, so couldn't engage with any of the other Champions League games that were on last night. But I don't care. I don't want the burden of more football discolouring [...]

We all know how big this one is for us tonight and if you didn't, then Mikel's selection decisions from last week's draw with Everton showed just how big, with: Partey rested Timber rested Odegaard rested Saka rested Martinelli rested Those are some of your big-impact players right there and for once in his career [...]

Is there anything more wholesome to see than a Bukayo Saka smiling back at you from the club cameraman's picture at London Colney, to confirm that he's back in full training? And I have to say, you have to marvel at the club's medical team for their accuracy on this return. Now, of course, he [...]

Job done, rotation done, PSV done – Real next up

I have to say, based on what I thought we’d have yesterday evening against a PSV side that must have know the jig is up after the final whistle went on the first leg last week, I didn’t picture that there’d be much in offer on a relatively chilly night in North London yesterday evening. [...]

Eyes on the ball (and prize) for Arsenal against PSV tonight

Liverpool have been rolling the dice and getting so many sixes this season, that when I went to bed at 10pm with it into extra time, I just expected to find out this morning that they'd won 5-0 on penalties. But they're out, the media fawning over them winning the quadruple that we were witnessing [...]

Arsenal’s blitzkrieg in Holland has one-and-a-half feet in the quarters

Got a busy one today at work, hence the delayed time of penning some thoughts, as I'm dropping some words in between meetings and also on company time. Don't tell anyone - you know I'm good for it. And bloody hell, Arsenal were good for it last night, eh? I think one of the most [...]

PSV preview: Arteta needs attacking answers from his Arsenal players

It's hard to know what to make of tonight's away tie to PSV this evening. Ordinarily I'd be thinking that this is one we should be able to get a good footing on, so we can finish the job in North London, so tonight is about maybe racking a goal or two so we all [...]

How much can/will Arteta change and rotate this evening against Zagreb?

Morning folks and welcome to match day Wednesday. We've got the last of our five home games today and it's the final home game of this infernal Champions League Group stage, for which we welcome Croatian side Dynamo Zagreb to The Emirates. Standing on 13 points so far, it's an opportunity for us to put [...]

A makeshift cast of understudies for both Arsenal and Monaco tonight?

Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]
