It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
So we're back in Champions League action this evening and it's the Portuguese champions we are up against in Lisbon tonight, in a game that sees a repeat of the March 2023 Europa League Round of 16 we played in March 2023. That game finished 2-2 and at the time I think most of us [...]
Mikel Arteta had his say ahead of tomorrow's tough encounter with Chelsea yesterday and, as usual, he was relatively tight-lipped on who was available. He confirmed that Declan Rice hadn't trained as of yesterday and I guess we all have to hope that his admission that he 'has to be vague' is just his way [...]
It's another home match day today and it's the visit of the Saints and Aaron Ramsdale to The Emirates at three o'clock this afternoon, as we aim to continue our form going in to the international break. Yesterday I took a look at our opponents and the type of game we're likely to face, their [...]
Happy Saturday peeps. How we all doing? I drank a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to myself last night, whilst making and then consuming a chilli con carne, listening and watching the two respective managers talk about the game on Sunday. Firstly, Sky Sports were all over Pep, featuring him again and again and some of [...]
There's only one place to start this morning, which is with the confirmation from the club yesterday that Mikel ARteta had signed a new contract, taking his deal with The Arsenal to 2027. This is fantastic news. He had been talking about how it was going to get done, there had been plenty of journalists [...]
I saw a post from somebody I follow on Twitter yesterday and they said that they simply aren't feeling the nerves ahead of Sunday. I also listened to the Arsenal Vision podcast yesterday on my run and Clive was talking about how emotionally he had just put a bit of a pin in his feelings [...]
Here we go folks. The Big Weekend is amongst us and tomorrow we face off against a historical big foe in Man United, knowing that only victory gives us a slim chance of winning the Premier League. And let's be honest here, it is a 'slim' chance. I'm not trying to be deliberately negative or [...]
The countdown commences and yesterday it was the opportunity for both managers to take to their respective press rooms to respond to questions from the press. As usual Arteta didn't really give up much on the team news and approach, but you wouldn't really ecpect him to because: He hasn't done that all season anyway. [...]
Morning folks. Another working week begins and with Arsenal in action on Tuesday, we'll be getting in to it pronto, because Arteta has another press conference this afternoon ahead of us playing against Chelsea tomorrow evening. Pep and Bernardo Silva can complain all they want, but I think we have a little more to complain [...]
