That was an utter disgrace yesterday. I am starting this blog the night of the game. I never do that. This was an unprofessional Arsenal performance. This was a disgraceful performance. I am embarrassed. This is falling apart. Two wins in nine. This is a football side who have spent two-thirds of the season being [...]
Morning folks - happy match day. Let's hope it is one in which The Arsenal are blessed with three points. We were all certainly blessed with mostly good news yesterday, as it was all but confirmed that Bukayo Saka has signed his new bumper contract. I was asked to give some comments on that for [...]
Happy Tuesday boys and girls. Let's start with some FA Cup news, shall we? After all, we did learn last night our fate and opponents in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup and as I hoped for last in yesterday's blog, we got the kind of draw that our compact fixture schedule could probably [...]
With our game at home to Wigan not on until tomorrow late afternoon, today has felt like a bit of a barren wasteland so far, if I'm honest. I got up, did a whole bunch of jobs, didn't get around to penning some thoughts until now, but there's not a ton of stuff going on. [...]
I am in a quandary as to how I feel this morning. On the one hand, I'm really disappointed in the draw away at Brentford. We had an opportunity to keep City at arm's length, we had the chance to show our credentials, we could have laid down a marker for the league. In this [...]
Preview of the Brentford versus Arsenal match this February 2026.
We kick off match week 25 with a host of non-Arsenal fixtures, as the TV companies continue to feed from the money trough by spreading matches over three days, and I can't work out whether us playing on Thursday is a good thing or not. The Scum, for example, play Newcastle tonight, but then they [...]
I was flying back to Blighty yesterday from me hols, so I missed about 55 minutes of the Liverpool versus City game. I switched on my Sky App as I was going through the airport, so I saw the Superb Szoboszai goal to put them one up. It was interesting because reading the commentary on [...]
I thought that was a hard-earned victory yesterday against Sunderland. They're a good team. A physical team. A team who know their strengths and is good at reducing its deficiencies. The data nerds may well raise an occasional eyebrow at how well they've done this season, but having watched them frustrate us and stifle us [...]
Feeling a bit, well, weirdly nervous about this one today. Yesterday I touched on it, but it's one of those games in which everything - and everyone - is calling this a routine home win. The stats back it up, again, as I mentioned yesterday. Sundewrland aren't amazing away from home. And yet....AND YET...there's that [...]
