There should not be a single Arsenal player, member of the coaching staff, or fan, that underestimates the difficulty of today's home game against Man United this lunchtime. This will be a tough game, make no mistake. Firstly, United will be hurting after the absolute tonking they got at Liverpool. That's a fixture those lot [...]

Gut feel for a good Arsenal performance tonight?

I'll be honest with you today folks, because I am really torn about tonight's game. On the one hand logic dictates that it is very difficult to make a case for Arsenal away at Chelski. They smashed Southampton 6-0 where we laboured to a 1-0 defeat. They have a bigger and better squad than us [...]

Lacazette’s lacka output won’t secure him any big move

Looks like Alexandre Lacazette has been keeping his eyes open and options available for his next move, having spoken to French TV, who yesterday released his comments about having multiple offers from teams and also wanting to play for a Champions League club. I'm sure you do Alex, I'm sure you do. But let's not [...]

Praying for Arteta’s admission of errors

There was no press conference yesterday so it'll mean we'll get to hear from Mikel Arteta today and although today is titled 'Good Friday' in the Christin calendar, I'm not expecting any 'good' news from the injury front. I suspect it'll simply be that the players that are injured are still injured, that we have [...]

Why do I now fear Arteta’s selection approach?

I chose my words to the title for today's musings quite carefully here. I know there are people that are convinced that Arteta is, from a tactical perspective, a man who knows his onions and he has shown that at times this season. I also know that there are a proportion - a small one [...]

Arsenal won’t get six wins from eight – that is what is required now

Morning folks - hope you're all well? Haven't been behind my computer since Wednesday last week, as I was holidaying in Rome and eating way too much pasta and pizza to think about penning thoughts whilst away on my travels, but am back behind my laptop today for a first day back at work and [...]

Abject Arsenal’s top four hopes could take a bad turn based on last night

I feared last night's game. I feared the intensity of Palace, I feared them hitting us on the counter, I feared the pressure getting to our players, I feared that one or two sub par performances could cause us issues. We didn't get one or two though. We got a full 11 poor performances. Last [...]

Palace no pushover as Arsenal face pressure tonight

If any Arsenal fan was expecting to get any kind of good news from both Everton or Newcastle yesterday and feeling confident after Saturday's 'fun' results, then they were brought back down to earth yesterday, as West Ham overcame an Everton side who with every passing week look more terrible, making our defeat to them [...]

Top four twists and turns still to come

Happy Sunday campers - hope you guys are all doing well? No proper football until tomorrow evening, but despite the fact I thought to myself that I wouldn't bother watching Man United beat Leicester City yesterday evening, I flicked on the TV in the kitchen last night as I was cooking to see what was going [...]
