Arsenal need to ‘do the job’ against Palace tonight

Tonight's game against Palace feels like a bit of an inconvenience for both teams, if we're all honest with ourselves, but Arsenal still have a job to do this evening. With Man City winning late against Villa last night, City are within five points of us now, having played a game more. The whole world [...]

Will Palace tomorrow have ‘summer friendly’ vibes to it?

Spent the Easter weekend with family, which meant less time available for blogging first thing in the morning, but had I jumped on here for some post match words yesterday, I'd have talked about a professional performance against an opponent who looked like the jig was up. For Arsenal the approach was good; the players [...]

A Kai-shaped ray of hope from Arteta’s presser yesterday?

Me having suggested that perhaps they'd take the day off yesterday, of course Mikel Arteta rocked up to do his press conference in the afternoon after I'd posted some thoughts, such is my luck. I don't mind, it gives me something to have a look at on an Easter Saturday morning, although aside from some [...]

Arsenal need to capitalise on their current standing in the game

With all of the noise around the Madrid win still beautifully ringing in our collective ears, it's easy to forget that we have another game in to days time, which will be the trip to Portman Road to take on the Tractor Boys. As it's Good Friday, I wondered whether we'd have a Mikel Arteta [...]

No Remontada here as Arsenal make history in Madrid

Sometimes writing some morning thoughts feels like a slog. Sometimes it just rolls out of my head and on to the page. Today is one of those (the latter) days. I was nervous., I'm sure you were nervous. This was Real Madrid. This was the 15 times champions, on their patch, with a solid three days [...]

Arsenal must win the psychological battles early tomorrow

Tis' a curious thing, is hope. Whether you have your dosage delivered high, or whether yours is barely discernible to the naked eye, it can lead to a whole spectrum of different actions and emotions in humans. Take the Real Madrid fans and media right now; they are talking up anything and everything to suggest [...]

Arsenal’s mindset as Madrid preparations begin

I could have done a post match blog yesterday but, if I'm completely honest, I couldn't be arsed. It was a boring game, with a rotated squad and as much as Arteta said all the right things in his pre match presser before we played Brentford, the reality of what we had to endure was [...]

Rotation the aim for Brentford today – but mindset has to remain strong

Morning campers, how we all doing? Weird one, this one today, innit? I mean, we have ourselves a match day, we have ourselves an Arsenal home game and we have ourselves a pressing need to probably at least win four of our last seven to be assured of the second spot in the Premier League. [...]

Quick look at Brentford – long ball and high press from the Bees?

It looks like it's shaping up to be a glorious few days of weather here in London over the next couple of days, but will the football tomorrow evening match that, given what we saw on Tuesday and the fact we have our second leg of the Quarter Final of the Champions League against Real [...]

Leveraging big Champions League nights to get new deals for Arsenal players

I don't know about you, but I'm still basking, re-living, re-loving the game from Tuesday night. I had a work thing on yesterday afternoon and evening, so couldn't engage with any of the other Champions League games that were on last night. But I don't care. I don't want the burden of more football discolouring [...]
