I decided to half-watch the Sunderland v City game on my phone yesterday, whilst rounding off my New Years Eve celebrations with one more night in the Cotswolds and a Thai takeaway, with Crocodile Dundee and then the World's Strongest Man on the TV instead of inflicting my friends on an evening of football. I'm [...]
For the last few matches I've read a few blogs, listened to a few podcasts and spoken to a few mates, talking about how the performances haven't quite matched the goal threat we have produced. I'm sure you've been exposed to the whole "Arsenal have one goal from 9 xG" narrative as much as I [...]
Happy match day folks - hope we're all good? Well, I say "happy" match day, but we all know that is predicated on whether Arsenal can collect all three points tonight against a red-hot Aston Villa on fine form at the moment, and going into this game feeling like they can beat anybody. And they [...]
It;s Monday, I think, and at some stage between now and midnight we'll get a team update from Mikel Arteta. By which time whatever I say now will probably be old news. So rather than look at what's going on with Arsenal, why don't we have a look at what we might face with Aston [...]
Football, eh? Yesterday the requirements were: Play well Win Arsenal did both of those and yet I don't think you'll find an Arsenal fan alive today who will tell you that felt easy. It very much didn't. The first worry came with the absence of both Calafiori and Timber, as this season and the constant [...]
It’s Brighton at home today in what is sure to be a really tricky encounter for Mikel Arteta’s men. For a number of years now, Brighton have been one of those clubs that you say things like “they play decent football” or “they’re a well-run club,” and over the years at The Emirates, they’ve given [...]
I know it is the EFL cup. I know it's a fixture pile-up in January. And yeah, I know that we have bigger fish to fry in other competitions. But you can't say that when it went to penalties, and those players responded that they didn't want this. They all do. And let's be honest, [...]
It's the EFL Cup tonight for The Arsenal and whilst most other teams are prepping for their Christmas schedule, our lads have to overcome what has become quite an impressive opponent in the shape of Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace. Admittedly they were pretty terrible against a rejuvenated Leeds United side last weekend and some of [...]
I didn't watch the Villa-United game yesterday, but I suspected Villa might win it and when you look at that winning run, you have to say 'fair f*cks' to those players and Unai. Morgan Rogers is in the form of his life for Villa and that is propelling them forward as we speak. Then, on [...]
Review of Arsenal’s win at Everton in December 2025
