It’s Brighton at home today in what is sure to be a really tricky encounter for Mikel Arteta’s men. For a number of years now, Brighton have been one of those clubs that you say things like “they play decent football” or “they’re a well-run club,” and over the years at The Emirates, they’ve given [...]

Mikel Arteta had his press conference yesterday and, as expected, give nothing away in terms of availability of key players like Saliba or Trossard. He did say that Big Gabi is a ‘few weeks’ away and given it’s the beginning of December, I think most of us would take it if he’s coming back for [...]

Some good news from Arteta on the injury front

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 [...]

Solving the low block problem: Why Arsenal need to be quicker against West Ham

Matchday Saturday, a 3pm kick-off, a game in which you'd normally be expecting Arsenal to pick up all three points against a struggling West Ham side and yet, here we all are, a little nervous about history repeating itself. Mikel was asked yesterday what he felt about the fact that Arsenal had lost 50% of [...]

Arsenal have to leave it all out on the pitch against PSG

I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that i'm supremely confident about tonight. In truth, that home defeat to PSG rocked me a little, because I thought we would give a better account of ourselves. We've known about our profligacy in front of goal all season and I saw that Donnarumma made [...]

Just win, don’t draw: Arsenal v Bournemouth preview

By |2025-05-03T08:22:30+01:00May 3rd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, Match Preview, premier league|1 Comment

Premier League action today for The Arsenal and, for me, there are just three requirements today: Win Don't lose Don't draw The latter particularly. I'm getting pretty fed up with draws this season and whilst I know the context of some of the early ones, as well as some of the ones latterly, we really [...]

Expectations and anticipation: PSG at home

It's the big one tonight. The season-definer (until, maybe, next week in Paris), the one in which glory could be found like Madrid at home, or gut punch can be received, like the home defeat to Man United within the first few minutes in 2009. Arteta knows he will need the home support to replicate [...]

Low key United-Arsenal game that we still need to probably win

It's a big one today As Arsenal face off against Manchester United in an epic top-of-the ta... ..Oh wait, it's not. I love how Sky Sports have tried their best to dress this game up as having some kind of significance, when in reality: A win for Arsenal does nothing other than keep a bit [...]

North London Derby: No extra motivation needed

The big ones just keep on coming and after Liverpool and Chelsea both dropped points yesterday, Arsenal have an opportunity to put the rough start to 2025 behind them by going and picking up all three points against The Scum. Strap yourselves in, boys and girls, because it's North London Derby day. Or night. I [...]
