On Saturday against Southampton, we were victims of a late goal that knocked us out of the cup. Last night we were the recipients of a late goal, which may well have the same impact. We will know for sure in a week, but Kai Havertz's last-minute winner in Lisbon was for sure a welcome [...]
So we got some good news, as well as some less good news, yesterday, both with the open training session and then with Mikel Arteta's press conference. Let's start with the good news, which I think top of my list this morning, the inclusion of Big Gabi in the training session. He went off with [...]
Happy bank holiday Monday, kids. Hope all is well with you, and you have something nice planned? I'm still in the cold North, so it'll be a day of chilling and probably doing a bit of boozing too, before the reality bump back down to earth tomorrow by doing some work remotely. The Arsenal players [...]
There we just two things that were good about yesterday's performance and result against Southampton: I predicted the line-up spot on Max Dowman Perhaps you could also point to the impact Viktor Gyokeres made from the bench, following up his goals for Sweden with a smartly taken finish to draw us level in that second [...]
At Arteta's press conference yesterday, he was inevitably asked about the withdrawals of players from international duty and - according to the official site version of events, anyway - he played the most impressive of straight bats. To be fair, he will have known these questions would be coming; he'd have been briefed by the [...]
Early preview of Southampton v Arsenal in the Fa Cup, April 2026.
I don't really write about the Arsenal Women. I'm a follower, of course, I want them to do well, and of course I watch when I can, but I can't profess to be an expert or know all the details about the WSL or Women's Champions League, so I kind of hold my hands up [...]
Morning folks. Today, I want to 'zone in' on the two main stories that emerged from last night. I'm not interested in England and the Ben White stuff; we welcome him back to Colney and an Arsenal shirt with open arms - the rest can eff-the-eff-off. Let's start in Bosnia, where Italy missed the chance [...]
Ok, so, I think we know we have at least one guy coming back from the two sets of internationals, not broken, as Kai Havertz came off at halftime yesterday evening, having scored a penalty right on the strike of the half to put Germany one-up in Stuttgart. Phew. With him returning, having played an [...]
Yesterday, I led with the title of the blog: Stop breaking our players. At this point, you just have to laugh. Because the latest guy to return to London Colney is Pierro Hincapie, who limped off against Morocco on 72 minutes, and I have to wonder what the actual eff he was still doing on the [...]
