I haven't slept well at all this week. Some of it, admittedly, is related to stuff happening at my work, but more of it is related to what happens this afternoon. This could be the biggest game for Arsenal football club in over two decades. In 2022/23, we had to go to the City and [...]
So the managers have now had their say. And with that, we have from both of them the following: Mikel Arteta Perspective before performance - Mikel started with humanity. A reminder that context matters, and that leadership isn’t just about the next result - it’s about grounding people before asking more of them. Adaptability [...]
I've sort of talked about it, we've all been thinking about it, and this game has been living 'rent-free' in my head for some time now. Certainly, since last weekend. But now, we have to really focus on it. So I suppose I have to start properly talking about it. Today the managers will give [...]
I am still down after last weekend. A little more time between now and the result has helped, but not by a lot, I must admit. I think my biggest issue is that I am worried that nothing will change in a short period of time. As I said to somebody in the comments from [...]
Well, that was disappointing yesterday, wasn't it? Another League Cup Final, another defeat in it, and at this point, it feels like that competition is as cursed for us as the European ones are. Simply put, Arsenal only showed up for one half, on a day in which there were hopes that we could get [...]
Here we are boys and girls: Cup Final Day. This is our first one since Mikel Arteta took us to Wembley for the FA Cup, albeit behind closed doors, and it's the first time we've been at Wembley since we played in the Community Shield back in 2023. That day, we saw Kai Havertz and [...]
So, we've had the managers both say their piece ahead of tomorrow, and from it we at least know one bit of news - James Trafford will start in goal. I guess the second piece that we also know is that Marc Guehi can't play, but that was already a well-documented situation from the semi-final. [...]
Okee dokee, here we go, with the countdown well and truly on ahead of the League Cup final. The two managers will have their press conference today, and it'll be interesting to hear what the fitness and availability of the respective teams is. For us, I think the main concern is Odegaard; we know Merino [...]
Right. Now, with the dust having well and truly settled on our Champions League progression, eyes are beginning to shift to that Cup final on Sunday. Sure, we could probably take a moment to laugh at the 'Spurziness' of the Tiny Totts winning their first game of 2026, only for it to be worthless as [...]
Happy Monday, boys and girls. It's a good one to be an Arsenal fan, that's for sure, but my hope for next weekend is that it's an even gooder one this time next Monday. Before that, Arsenal have the small matter of a tough home game against Leverkusen and then a tough Cup Final game [...]
