There we just two things that were good about yesterday's performance and result against Southampton: I predicted the line-up spot on Max Dowman Perhaps you could also point to the impact Viktor Gyokeres made from the bench, following up his goals for Sweden with a smartly taken finish to draw us level in that second [...]

The goalkeeper question that defined the League Cup final

Well, that was disappointing yesterday, wasn't it? Another League Cup Final, another defeat in it, and at this point, it feels like that competition is as cursed for us as the European ones are. Simply put, Arsenal only showed up for one half, on a day in which there were hopes that we could get [...]

It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]

The homecoming: Hincapié and Havertz return, but Arsenal must be wary of Leverkusen threat

Half of me really wishes we played last night, so that I could get my fill of Spursiness tonight, because I'm deliberately tempering my humour this morning, because it is a match day for the Arsenal, and I don't want to wake the footballing gods from their slumber to come and give us a kicking [...]

Triggered: £45m for Hincapié is a no brainer

Happy Monday, guys and gals. Hope you're all ok? This morning I am thinking about Pierro Hincapie, who got on the pitch this weekend, after Trossard's injury, to help us win at Mansfield and get our name in the hat for tonight's draw. I'll give some thoughts on the draw in a minute, but back [...]

Winning ugly, Huerzeler’s tears, and the return of the defensive wall

It wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun to watch. Arsenal didn't play well and Brighton kept us penned back for large portions of last night's game at The Amex. But boy was that a big result. A huge one. On a night in which Nottingham Forest amazingly managed to pick up a point at The Etihad [...]

Ten cup finals: Arsenal must prove title credentials today against Chelsea

City getting away with it yesterday against Leeds is no real surprise, but what it does serve to underline is that today's game against Chelsea is huge. It's a cup final. We have 10 more to go in the League. Arsenal are as much in control of their own destiny as 115 Charges FC are. [...]

Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]

Unprofessional and abysmal Arsenal draw to terrible Wolves

That was an utter disgrace yesterday. I am starting this blog the night of the game. I never do that. This was an unprofessional Arsenal performance. This was a disgraceful performance. I am embarrassed. This is falling apart. Two wins in nine. This is a football side who have spent two-thirds of the season being [...]
