Ramsey stars in Milan win (yes, it really did happen)
Today, friends, is not a day for talking down the lack of pace of the Milan side. Nor is it a time to dismiss the failings of the Italian domestic league as 'budget' or 'substandard'. No, today is a day where we need to revel in an Arsenal performance, because in 2018 we have not [...]

Winning the cup: formation, Welbeck and finding Auba
Cup final Sunday. I must admit to you that I do prefer it when it lands on a Saturday and is in May, because it's a much more pleasurable experience than having to be layered up in February. But let's not look a gift horse in the mouth, eh? After all, at least we're once [...]

Some stepping up needed from Welbz and other rotated players
Match day for The Arsenal again and despite the fact it's the closest you could get to a dead rubber without actually being a dead rubber, I'm still excited to be going along to see The Arsenal play a game, having not seen one live in the flesh for nearly three weeks now. The opposition [...]

Arsenal cannot underestimate the value of getting the job done tonight
Morning gooners and welcome to another match day, one in which we don't see much of for the next week, so I for one am doing my upmost to ensure that my excitement levels are heightened during my working day today. They may be a small provincial Swedish club that I hadn't have heard of [...]

Lacazette’s absence means ‘Dat Guy’ gets his wish
I'm looking real hard for when the good news will start coming at Arsenal, I've got to be honest with you, because yesterday's Lacazette news just feels like yet another sh*t sandwich being served up to us and told to chow down. Domestically - League Cup aside - this season has been a festering pustule [...]

Meek Arsenal surrender on derby day
I wasn't confident of getting anything from the game yesterday before the match itself, but what I did have hope for was that stereotype that 'form goes out the window' and that any Derby for any team is a great leveller. Not Arsenal though. Not this Arsenal team. I'm still actually a little angry about [...]

Palace preview: High tempo, slick passing and one final Alexis game?
Happy match day goners. But will it be come 5pm? Will we have something to smile about or will it be more exasperation caused by yet another display in which the selected XI in red shirts toil over their goalscoring attempts as Crystal Palace aim to be tough to break down and hit us quick [...]

Bournemouth preview: this will be a grind
Morning folks - everyone feeling good? Everyone excited for another match day? Or, are you like me, which is that every time a match day comes around you get that dragging sensation in your stomach? It's the one where you can't quite work out whether you feel a bit sick, or you're hungry, or you [...]

Riding luck at times, but we’ll all take that, against Chelski
Ive got to be honest and say that when the teams were announced yesterday, I did indeed fear the worst, given the week that we've had. Iwobi punished for his breaking of club rules last week by getting a start against Chelski in a semi final, no Özil, Alexis on the bench, injuries racking up. [...]
