Set Piece FC keep the points coming against United

That's three in a row in the Premier League now and after an initially poor / average first half, Arsenal turned it on in the second to secure all three points at home to a United team who are certainly more structurally organised under Amorim than under Ten Haag. The Portuguese manager had said there [...]

No margins for Arsenal – we have to beat United

BIG game today. Very big game. I touched on it yesterday about how the pundits are pretty much all siding with us and that 'Jones Knows' chat on Sky even went for a 4-1 thrashing. Lawrenson has gone 2-1 Arsenal Sutton has gone for a 3-1 to us. We should beat them. We have a better [...]

A good record at West Ham shouldn’t undermine the tough task tomorrow

In what is becoming a bit of a habit for me at the moment, I thought I'd go an check out the situation on some of the West Ham forums this morning, to get a bit of a vibe check on the opposition fans in the run up to our game against them. Unlike in [...]

Arsenal blitz through Sporting to set a marker in Europe

Well now, wasn't that a lot more fun last night than we expected, eh? I don't think there are any Arsenal fans that thought that Mikel Arteta and his charges were going to head over to Portugal, absolutely blitz an unbeaten team with a 100% domestic win record this season, with one of the clubs [...]

Familiarity and change about Sporting versus Arsenal tonight

So we're back in Champions League action this evening and it's the Portuguese champions we are up against in Lisbon tonight, in a game that sees a repeat of the March 2023 Europa League Round of 16 we played in March 2023. That game finished 2-2 and at the time I think most of us [...]

How does Arteta solve the right back rotation connundrum?

There's no rest for the wicked, as the Arsenal squad - and a fair few fans - make their way to Lisbon today ahead of our Champions League showdown against Sporting. I suspect we'll get an Arteta press conference towards the end of the working day today and we'll get a bit of an update [...]

Forest will have ‘rope-a-dope’ eyes on The Arsenal – we have to control the narrative

With Mikel Arteta not due to have his presser ahead of the Forest game until 1.30pm today, I thought I'd go hunting around to find out a little bit about how our opponents have got on his season so far, as well as how their fans are feeling ahead of Nottingham Forest's trip to The [...]

Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are at an Arsenal crossroads

In a clear act of mercy for our current injury plight, the footballing gods (and Spain manager Luis De La Fuente) saw fit to rest both Raya and Merino last night, as Spain beat Switzerland in what sounds like quite a compelling match. I wouldn't know; international football and all that... Tonight the gauntlet is [...]

White’s injury blow shows this season might be a cursed one for The Arsenal

The last few words I said on my blog post from yesterday: As Arteta said in the wake of the Chelsea game, it’s been eight weeks of consistent players going down with niggles, so we need to just get through this final international window and then get some flipping players back! Famous last words, eh? [...]

Rice’s availability could be the difference at Stamford Bridge for today’s game

Yesterday's City defeat has cast today's game in a slightly different light I think. I still believe that if Arsenal lose, we're probably out of the title race, but a draw puts us one point closer to them and although Liverpool will be nine points clear of us, that isn't unsurmountable. Liverpool won against Villa [...]
