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 [...]

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 [...]

An historic night at The Emirates as Arsenal smash Real Madrid

Well, well, well. Did I not expect that. Wowsers. I mean, I knew that Real Madrid were ‘getable’. I knew they had weaknesses. I knew that they had issues at full back and that’s where we, as a team, tend to excel with the personnel that we have. But still…this is Real Madrid. A team [...]

St Totteringham’s marred by the Gabriel news

Today, this most holiest of Saints Days - that of the feast of St Totteringham - should be a day of mild celebration and snickering about a club in the mud that can no longer finish above us. It has come rather early this year, but nevertheless, we should be chuckling away at the plight [...]

Projecting an Arsenal conspiracy theory – MLS, Calafiori and Gabriel’s futures linked?

I watched about 10 minutes of the England game last night, just before Declan Rice made the assist for some unknown footballer who I willst not name, mainly to get five to ten minutes of seeing Myles Lewis-Skelly at this level. From a confidence perspective clearly he doesn't lack that and you could absolutely tell [...]

Arsenal’s need for silverware within 18 months

Back from a week off in the Maldives and having fortunately picked a week in which it's been internationals going on, from an Arsenal perspective it's been good because there's not really massive amounts to talk about. Well, nothing that you have probably not already read just about everything on. Then I check in on [...]

Turgid at Old Trafford as toothless Arsenal hit another low block

At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]

Arteta and Arsenal get the approach wrong at Newcastle

After just a few minutes at St James' Park I had an inkling that this game was going to be very much a case of Deja Vu for us up in the North East. A bouncing ball in the middle of the park wasn't won by Partey, Isaak was found in space in behind and Arsenal [...]

Is this a tale of two set piece sides?

It's match day, it's a Saturday kick off, it's Wolves away and it's a game that the pundits are all universally saying that it'll be a comfortable Arsenal win. Merse is saying 3-0, that Jones Knows fella on Sky Sports is saying 3-0, Sutton says 2-0, Lawro says 2-0 and Sports Mole is giving us a [...]

How much can/will Arteta change and rotate this evening against Zagreb?

Morning folks and welcome to match day Wednesday. We've got the last of our five home games today and it's the final home game of this infernal Champions League Group stage, for which we welcome Croatian side Dynamo Zagreb to The Emirates. Standing on 13 points so far, it's an opportunity for us to put [...]
