The up side of playing this evening in the League Cup is that we find ourselves - well, I do anyway - quickly deviating away from the disappointment of TDD with a match in which suddenly there's a wee bit of optimism amongst the fanbase. It's odd because when the first leg of this tie [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
It's matchday folks! And I feel like I'm going to be saying this a lot for the remainder of the season....but it absolutely IS a 'must win', because even though Brentford have a great home record, they held City to a 2-2 draw on Tuesday night, I suspect Liverpool might win this one. They've drawn [...]
It's Friday, we've barely had time to breathe post the NLD, yet Mikel Arteta goes in front of the press at some stage today (at the time of me penning this) to talk about tomorrow evening's game against Villa - yet another 'must win'. Obviously looking ahead to that game is going to be the [...]
The big ones just keep on coming and after Liverpool and Chelsea both dropped points yesterday, Arsenal have an opportunity to put the rough start to 2025 behind them by going and picking up all three points against The Scum. Strap yourselves in, boys and girls, because it's North London Derby day. Or night. I [...]
I mentioned it yesterday, I’ve kind of bitched about it a couple of times since the draw was made, but for yet another year we kick off with what is a really tough home game to Man United, in amongst a really tough run of fixtures this January, all whilst missing a few of our [...]
It’s another game in this hectic schedule for The Arsenal this evening and with a potential League Cup final place at stake if Arsenal manage to overcome an in-form Newcastle side over two legs, it’s going to be a really tricky game against a side who will fancy their chances with the way they are [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
