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 [...]
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 [...]
Big game today. VERY big game. Made even bigger, even tougher, by the fact we have a number of question marks over players. We know Odegaard and Saliba are 100% out, we can be pretty sure about Calafiori, but what about Saka? Timber? There are so many questions that we all want answered and all [...]
Tricky one, this one today, because Bournemouth are no mugs. As Arteta said, Antonio Iraloa has created a well-drilled, well-coached, progressive passing (they’re seventh in the league on progressive passing numbers just behind us, Liverpool, Brighton, City and The Scum) team who have not had some of the results they - and a few - [...]
Mikel Arteta will take to the stage today at London Colney for his pre match presser at some stage this Friday and ahead of that I thought I'd take a look at who we're up against tomorrow, in the shape of a newly promoted Southampton side, with a very familiar face about them in between [...]
It's the big one today. Man City away and do you know what? I'm actually not that nervous. I know that sounds weird, maybe it'll change throughout the course of today, but I kind of feel fine about whatever happens today. I suspect it's because I'm managing my own expectations; I think we might come-a-cropper [...]
That was a tough ol' watch yesterday, eh? Arsenal went to Bergamo, they played a tricky opponent with a very specific approach that is ingrained in their system; they play high-intensity, man-for-man (something Mikel reflected on afterwards in the post-match presser), looking to nullify us by winning those individual duals and hoping that we didn't [...]
Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]
Whilst basking in a North London Derby victory is plenty of fun and I intend on doing it a bit more today, there's no rest for the wicked this week, with Atalanta on Thursday and so probably Mikel and the team leaving for Italy either later today or first thing tomorrow. I wonder if they [...]
I've been listening to a song recently by Becky Hill called "I could get used to this". Three North London Derby away wins in three seasons for The Arsenal. I definitely could get used to this. I said pre game yesterday and in the days leading up to this that I hate this game in [...]
