Is it me, or does it feel like we’ve played tough game after tough game this season? I get it - “you have to play everyone twice” as well as “everyone plays each other twice”, but still, it’s really felt like this is week after week in which we’ve had some super tough fixtures. And [...]

Round one: Squad must step up against Palace tonight

It's League Cup action tonight as we play Palace at home and I think I speak for everyone (maybe) when I say: Play all the squaddies Mikel! I've chosen my words carefully here, because the usual response with a game like this is 'kids', but I think we're in need of some rotation tonight and [...]

Prepare yourselves for a stinky game against long-ball deep block merchants Everton

A home match day again see's us up against 15th-placed Everton and an opportunity to at least keep pace with runaway leaders Liverpool, who will absolutely beat Fulham today on their own turf, if last weekend's game is anything to go by. Let's face it, we did everything to win that game and it was [...]

Happy Champions League match day folks! I'm super excited for this one. Do you know why? Because I'm going tonight AND I used to play in defence for my Uni team, so I might get a place on the bench!! After all, with the amount of defenders we seemingly have on the treatment table right [...]

Zero margin for error for Arsenal at Craven Cottage today

I said it in the aftermath of Friday's press conferences, that Fulham feels a little more difficult than when we looked at this run of games pre-international break, but I feel it even more this morning: This is going to be hard today. Fulham are decent at home. Four wins, one draw and two defeats [...]

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 high-up-the-pitch turnover game is what Arsenal should be aiming for

Yesterday I did a bit of a look at West Ham, but with Arteta and Lopetegui having their press conferences yesterday, we have a little more detail and I think I'll obviously focus a little more on us today. But before that, the West Ham team news, which Lopetegui talked about alongside handing our a [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Players returning a boost for Arsenal, as Forest’s blueprint and game plan is clear

Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]
