Unlocking the block: Control or creativity against United?

Match day folks! And it's time to put everything to one side - the worry of a resurgent United, the fear of a blip after City's win against Wolves, the concern over two goalless draws in the Premier League previously - and get the job done this afternoon. Arsenal go into this one with a [...]

Arsenal must rediscover domestic ruthlessness against united tomorrow

Howdy folks, from an overcast Sri Lanka in which I’m operating on about two hours sleep, so please bear with me if my usual Arsenal-related rambling is a little more incoherent than usual. We heard from Mikel Arteta yesterday and I guess the first thing to be happy about is that Hincapie and Calafiori are [...]

United are the unknown quantity

I've been up since some ungodly hour this morning, as the Management and I head off for some winter sun for a couple of weeks, which is great. The missing of The Emirates and at least three home games is a bit of a bummer, but First-World Problems n'that, so I won't look for any sympathy. [...]

From Colney to the Côte d’Azur: Nwaneri treads the Saliba path

Morning campers. Hope we're all good? I was going to start looking ahead to the United game on Sunday, but given Ethan Nwaneri has essentially signed for Marseille on loan for the rest of this season, I figured we need to say something about that. It appears Big Bill Saliba has had his say before departing [...]

The wrong attacking approach means dropped points for Arsenal against Forest

I have a real sense of gnawing frustration this morning. I watched the United/City game, and I just assumed United would be pants and City cut our lead, not the other way around, so by the time kick off came for our game, I was buzzing. There's nothing like a Sean Dyche mid-block slog-fest to [...]

Quiet the crowd: Arsenal’s plan to spoil Rosenior’s big night

By |2026-01-14T10:46:37+00:00January 14th, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, League Cup, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta|3 Comments

It's match day, it's a cup semi-final, it's Chelsea away, and it's an opportunity to put one foot in the final with a good performance today. This will be a tough game. Both in terms of the opposition, but also on their approach, because whilst Liam Rosenior is new in post and will inevitably impart [...]

Saka’s signing and big second half of the season needed

Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]

Within spitting distance of a final: Can Arsenal’s ‘job-sharers’ deliver a Palace knockout?

It's the EFL Cup tonight for The Arsenal and whilst most other teams are prepping for their Christmas schedule, our lads have to overcome what has become quite an impressive opponent in the shape of Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace. Admittedly they were pretty terrible against a rejuvenated Leeds United side last weekend and some of [...]
