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 [...]

All eyes on Saka

I didn't really touch too much on comments in the wake of the United game about Bukayo Saka, made by Arteta, when asked about him. But I suspect just to re-iterate the situation he'll definitely be asked about the forward today in his press conference. Mikel's comments on Sunday were that his progress was good [...]

Job done, rotation done, PSV done – Real next up

I have to say, based on what I thought we’d have yesterday evening against a PSV side that must have know the jig is up after the final whistle went on the first leg last week, I didn’t picture that there’d be much in offer on a relatively chilly night in North London yesterday evening. [...]

Eyes on the ball (and prize) for Arsenal against PSV tonight

Liverpool have been rolling the dice and getting so many sixes this season, that when I went to bed at 10pm with it into extra time, I just expected to find out this morning that they'd won 5-0 on penalties. But they're out, the media fawning over them winning the quadruple that we were witnessing [...]

The muted Arsenal stadium – was it inevitable?

Under normal circumstances a midweek Champions League knockout game the next evening would bring about levels of anticipation and worry, but with the team doing the epitome of 'the job' on PSV last week, tomorrow should really be a procession against a Dutch side who were more open than an OnlyFans veteran's legs. So what [...]

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 [...]

Calafiori up top isn’t the answer, movement across the whole side is

This weekend's game feels like one of the most low-key of games against United that I can remember. I've been watching Sky Sports attempt to build it up as some kind of crunch match, but I think all of us know that it really isn't anything of the sort: United have nothing to play for [...]

Season tickets and Sesko

Honestly, which one of the footballing gods did Liverpool sell their souls to, in order to have the kind of rub of the green that they have been getting this season, eh? I don't want to say "luck" because it isn't lucky that they have a world class 'keeper in Alisson, but bloody hell, they [...]

Arsenal’s blitzkrieg in Holland has one-and-a-half feet in the quarters

Got a busy one today at work, hence the delayed time of penning some thoughts, as I'm dropping some words in between meetings and also on company time. Don't tell anyone - you know I'm good for it. And bloody hell, Arsenal were good for it last night, eh? I think one of the most [...]

PSV preview: Arteta needs attacking answers from his Arsenal players

It's hard to know what to make of tonight's away tie to PSV this evening. Ordinarily I'd be thinking that this is one we should be able to get a good footing on, so we can finish the job in North London, so tonight is about maybe racking a goal or two so we all [...]
