Brentford fan thoughts and Eze learning the Arsenal way
With Arteta not doing his presser until today, there's still a bit of time for us to chew the fat over different things, so I thought I'd start today by doing that with the results from last night. Tottenham Hotspur. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I fully realise their next game is against us. I fully realise that there [...]

Controlling the controllable’s: Thoughts ahead of a massive match week 25
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 [...]

Everybody be cool
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 [...]

Big Vik seals it as Arsenal go nine clear with Sunderland win
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 [...]

Tough one, low block, but Arsenal need to do the business against Sunderland
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 [...]

The seven-point itch: Can Arsenal finally pull away from the chasing pack?
We find out team news from Mikel Arteta today, so we'll know what we're dealing with when it comes to tomorrow's opposition, Sunderland, but I wonder what Mikel is thinking from a tactical perspective? From a fitness point of view, the news we have all unofficially heard is that Saka is out until probably the [...]

Closer together, scoring more: The tactical shift Benefiting Viktor Gyökeres
So it looks like it's City in the final of the League Cup for us in March then. The current top two are battling it out for the first trophy of the season, after Newcastle went out with a bit of a whimper against Pep's 115 Charges FC, of which Pep isn't happy that Marc [...]

Havertz haunts Chelsea once again – Wembley here we come
I really don't like Chelsea. I'd go as far as to say I hate them. I hate what they represent. I hate the way they started the spiral of financial doping that is now so prevalent in the game. I hate their game model of stockpiling players and then farming them out on loan. I hate [...]

Noni’s revenge? Could Madueke and creative eights silence Chelsea?
It's match day, it's the league Cup Semi final, it's Chelsea at the Emirates. It is not exactly a 'must win', but certainly you want this Arsenal team to go out there tonight and deliver the kind of performance that sends messages to the rest of the world that we are ready to take the [...]
