Frustration with the fates, but Arsenal need to overcome the psychological battle, too

This fixture has become the one in which more frustration exists than ever before and it's been like that over the last ten years or so because it doesn't matter in what position the two teams are in, Chelski usually come out on top, or at least without defeat. It doesn't matter if they're flying high [...]

Narrative set on goal timings, but I’m happy with a point at Anfield

Having not watched the game last night due to the celebration of The Management's birthday, it's interesting for me to see the overall context of a point at Anfield, in comparison to those I follow online or the narrative of the oft biased Liverpool-favouring media. Many Arsenal fans seemed to be virtually throwing their hands [...]

We’re doing the right things in January

As is always the way when you reach the middle part of a week in between fixtures, all seems to be relatively quiet in London Colney at the moment, which I have no real issue with to be honest. Last night The Management asked which day Arsenal are playing on this midweek, then seemed quite [...]

Good with or without the ball – Arsenal are contenders

Okay, so here's the thing: I'm gonna level with ya. The first part of today's blog is written in a slightly inebriated haze and post-match big game glow. It's delivered to you because I think we saw a mature Arsenal team that has delivered a statement to the rest of the league that guess what, [...]

The great escape led by the charge of Campbell III

I've seen three different first team Campbell's in my time as an Arsenal supporter. Kevin was a decent forward, Sol was an immense centre half and now Joel, who I will admit I have been a clear sceptic of in the past, has stepped up in an important game and maybe what Arsène 'smelt' in [...]

Champions League rabbit out of a hat tonight, Arsenal?

Tonight is - if you believe Joel Campbell - the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. I get that, especially given that our Champions League future hinges on a 2-0 win or better score line, but whilst it might be important 'to date', I don't think we'll look back on it as [...]

Arsenal make it hard work, but they do the business against the Mackems

That should have been a lot easier than it actually was, or looked like on paper, for those neutrals looking at their phones, papers, etc, on a Sunday morning and seeing how the match panned out. The truth behind the result is - as often is the case - a little different from what transpired [...]

Selection decisions should be made with Sunday in mind as well as tonight

So Arsène's presser delivered an update on the much anticipated Coquelin injury situation yesterday and, perhaps having been burnt too many times with incorrect prognoses before, the manager was reluctant to give an exact timeframe on Le Coq's return. He said it would certainly be more than a month, and would most likely be more [...]
