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 [...]

Zero margin for error for Arsenal at Craven Cottage today

I said it in the aftermath of Friday's press conferences, that Fulham feels a little more difficult than when we looked at this run of games pre-international break, but I feel it even more this morning: This is going to be hard today. Fulham are decent at home. Four wins, one draw and two defeats [...]

No margins for Arsenal – we have to beat United

BIG game today. Very big game. I touched on it yesterday about how the pundits are pretty much all siding with us and that 'Jones Knows' chat on Sky even went for a 4-1 thrashing. Lawrenson has gone 2-1 Arsenal Sutton has gone for a 3-1 to us. We should beat them. We have a better [...]

Arsenal must play their game today, not Bournemouth’s

Tricky one, this one today, because Bournemouth are no mugs. As Arteta said, Antonio Iraloa has created a well-drilled, well-coached, progressive passing (they’re seventh in the league on progressive passing numbers just behind us, Liverpool, Brighton, City and The Scum) team who have not had some of the results they - and a few - [...]

What Arsenal, and what Tottenham, show up for today’s NLD?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]

Here we are folks - match day! I have to tell you, I know this feeling well from many years on this planet and many times experiencing this s well as getting to go to The Arsenal on the first day of the season, but this feels like the most excited I've been of what's [...]
