Here we go folks. The Big Weekend is amongst us and tomorrow we face off against a historical big foe in Man United, knowing that only victory gives us a slim chance of winning the Premier League. And let's be honest here, it is a 'slim' chance. I'm not trying to be deliberately negative or [...]

On Tuesday there were stories about Jorginho and his new deal, yesterday we had some noises about the potential of Arsenal listening to offers for Gabriel Jesus. You can tell we're rapidly approaching transfer silly season, can't you? I have my own thoughts on this, as you'd expect, but as with all of these things [...]

We're halfway through the week, halfway to our next cup final and as awesome as it's been drinking in all of the salty Scum tears, the focus absolutely has to switch to the challenge of Bournemouth, who will not be an easy opponent on Saturday lunchtime. One person I will be hoping that is in [...]

Acknowledging the mental strength of this Arsenal team

Morning folks, we all good? Have you been basking in the delights of a North London Derby victory still? I certainly have. Yesterday wasn't exactly my most productive work day, I have to admit, as I intermittently found myself getting on to social media to watch the occasional short video of Spurs fans filming their [...]

Arsenal out with a bit of a whimper against experienced Bayern

And so the Champions League run for The Arsenal comes to an end. Not with a bang, but sadly with a bit of a whimper, as Bayern saw out a tense affair in Munich by beating us 1-0 with that second half headed goal by Kimmich. It was a momentary lapse of concentration from our [...]

Emery out-tactico’s Arteta to leave title talk for Arsenal shelved

Yesterday was not a fun day. Yesterday a big chunk of hope that we might end the wait for a league title crumbled away. Yes, we are just two points off Man City and yes, there are a few games left still to play, but we aren't up against any other team. We all know [...]

Saka’s return will be timely for Brighton

I went for my afternoon run first thing this morning, which has its benefits because rather than speculate on what Arteta has to say in his press conference today, it's happening literally as I type out today's ramblings. So I have a bity of a real time reaction opportunity this Friday morn, which is novel. [...]

As expected – the stalemate that suits The Arsenal

As I and many others predicted in the build up to this match, there would be no basketball-style game, leading to goals galore. Instead, this was every bit the chess match, played between two teams who are stylistically even matched and two managers who follow similar footballing philosophies. There was the inevitable chiding online from [...]

Arteta is feeling the training ground buzz ahead of the Etihad trip

I never normally watch the opposition match press conference, but given the build up to this massive game tomorrow and given how significant it could impact both City and Arsenal's season, I thought I'd have a little sneak peak at pep's comments in his presser. Obviously I was also intrigued on how he delivered news [...]

It had to be Bayern and Kane, didn’t it?

It just had to be bloody Bayern Munich, didn't it, eh? On Thursday I wrote about my preference about who I'd like to see us play in the quarter-final and on that list Bayern finished fifth out of eight, so it almost felt inevitable that we were going to get one of the toughest opponents [...]
