Arsenal went to Stamford Bridge last night, to a Chelsea admittingly short of a fair few important players, and absolutely bossed them to take control of this League Cup two-legged semi-final. So why do I not feel completely sated this morning? I think it's probably the feeling that this tie could - and probably should [...]
It's match day, it's a cup semi-final, it's Chelsea away, and it's an opportunity to put one foot in the final with a good performance today. This will be a tough game. Both in terms of the opposition, but also on their approach, because whilst Liam Rosenior is new in post and will inevitably impart [...]
So last night we learned of our opponents in the next round of the FA Cup, with Wigan confirmed as the visitors to The Emirates in February, which brings back all kinds of memories for me. The first was that gawd-awful FA Cup semi-final in 2014. Going into it we were the favourites, we were [...]
Morning all, and welcome to the first Monday of 2026. From a working point of view, given I took Friday off, it sucks. But from an Arsenal point of view, well, it has been a pretty successful and enjoyable Monday in which to write about the current situation. I'll be honest with you, at the [...]
Even though the match ended over 12 hours ago and I have had time to digest the result and going's on in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, I'm still not sure how I feel about it, you know. At the beginning of the day if you'd have offered me a draw I'd have taken [...]
With City inevitably picking up their three points against Leeds at home yesterday, Arsenal are reminded just how slender these advantages can be with what lies ahead of us today: An in-form Chelsea team with an opportunity to throw their hats into the ring as title contenders by beating us on their own patch. So [...]
So the good news from the press conference yesterday appears to be that despite coming off injured in midweek against Bayern, Leo appears to be fit, as confirmed by Mikel when doing his pre-Chelsea chat to the assembled media. That's a relief. Considering just how impressive he's been for us this season, losing him at [...]
It's Friday, it's a couple of days before we go to Chelsea and it's a trip into the Chelsea fans forums for me to see how they are feeling. It's certainly a mixed bag, with as much of them saying they can't see themselves losing, as well as the reverse. I think this season has [...]
If you believe everything you read on line, you'd be forgiven for getting a little antsy that the supposed new interest in Eze from Chelsea could scupper any potential deal that The Arsenal do. Personally, I'm not minded to put too much credence in to it at this stage, because Eze would be batshit mental [...]
Had a fair bit of work stuff and other bits going on yesterday, so didn't find the time to compose some thoughts in the wake of the rapidly evolving Madueke story, so shall we have a chat today about it? Firstly, I think it's difficult for me to row back from my original thoughts and [...]
