I'd take a draw today. There, I said it. I've set my stall out for today's blog early on and I'll be completely frank with you, I fear this game now that we are on the eve of it. We've scored one goal away all season, which was in the 1-0 win over Burnley. We've [...]

Rotation works as Arsenal progress beyond Leeds in the League Cup

Another win to add to the growing list people, which is never a bad thing, even if it was in the League Cup and with a heavily rotated team. I'm sure you're bored of having to put all the usual caveats in place - "it was only the League Cup", "Leeds fielded a slightly weaker [...]

Arsenal must maintain momentum against Leeds, but with the fringe players

Howdy peeps and welcome to what I like to call the "low risk match day". It's a game this evening at home to Leeds United in which Arsenal we hope will of course win, but with it being in the League Cup, the stakes don't feel as high, so as a result if we end [...]

Happy matchday folks. Hope you and yours are well. It's two in a week for us; feels almost like the old days of the Europa League and Champions League, eh? Those feelings of playing every few days may have gone, but at least we've had a fair few like that with the League Cup and [...]

Arteta’s margins are too fine when we don’t score enough goals

Last night I had a weird ol' dream. I was back in my old season ticket seat at Highbury in the North Bank and time had rewound and the team were now allowed to play back in the old stadium again. Which is weird because a) that would take some serious engineering work needed, not [...]

Arteta needs to sweep aside the narrative and Arsenal must ‘click’ against Palace

A week of 'R n R' in Spain this past seven days and having also decided that the international break was an opportunity to step away from the blog in the mornings, I find myself rejuvenated and excited for what feels like 'Part III' of Arsenal's season. In Part I we experienced the lows, the [...]

Freestyle footballers might be absent, but knowing the opposition intimately shouldn’t be

Morning folks. Hope you and yours are well on this Tuesday morn. My evening was spent without Facebook and WhatsApp and aside from planning a couple of vineyard tours next week in Spain as I go to celebrate my mates wedding and then stay out in Catalonia for a few days extra, I didn't miss [...]

Momentum and blossoming partnerships at The Arsenal

Press conference day was yesterday which I am assuming means the team will travel down to the south coast today. Maybe they'll take in the Pier or even get an ice cream or two, although with the weather as it is at the moment, it'll make for the quintessential British day out on the beach. [...]
