Happy Sunday folks, hope you're all gravy, especially after a Saturday in which three points for the Arsenal were had? It felt like a bit of a slog though, didn't it? A win is a win is a win, but we made it feel a little bit harder than it should have been, as Newcastle [...]

Newcastle preview: Second half wearing down could be key

After two disappointing away performances, today nothing else than victory at home over Newcastle must be accepted by the players, because this collective need to up their game over the festive period and that starts now. We all know the troubles on the road. We know how teams have been better and we've generally been [...]

Arsène spin machine dial turned to max today?

Friday is press conference day today and we'll get an Arsène Wenger masterclass in deflection today I suspect. After all, his team have been pretty blunted way from home all season and as a result we've never really broken into any form of any real meaning. But tomorrow provides an opportunity to pick up points [...]

Arsenal have no identity – West Ham away thoughts

As I stood in the stands up in the gods, with my feet numb through the ice of a cold midweek away bore draw to a very average West Ham, I couldn't help but think to myself: What are Arsenal these days? What is our identity. That's the overriding emotion I took from the stagnant [...]

Injuries to force Arsène’s formation hand tomorrow?

Morning folks. Gee-golly it's a cold one in London this morning, sure to be as frosty as Arsène's response when he's asked why he can't put together a team that can win consistently away from home. Wins against Watford, Stoke and Southampton this last weekend just gone would probably see us as one of the [...]

Dire defensive displays will derail Arsenal’s season

We've got to all be honest with ourselves here: this team is probably going to fall away from even challenging from the top four if we continue to put in performances away from home like yesterday. Giroud's late flick in on 88 minutes may have taken some of the stink of the performance away, but [...]

Mustafi’s absence could be an issue for Xhaka – Southampton v Arsenal preview

I've awoken this morning to snow. It really is quite magical this time of year and London is white with it. In a way I'm glad we don't have a home game because getting to the Emirates on the Met Line today could be an absolute nightmare. But it's an away day and for many [...]
