I hope the planets aren't seemingly aligning for us to give us a false sense of security. What I mean by that is three fold: Hull City's hectic fixture scheduling Steve Bruce has already admitted he's going to have to rotate his squad for those players who haven't played much recently. He's bidding for a [...]
On Tuesday last week and Sunday this weekend I think we saw the first signs of a changing of the guard at the heart of our defence. With Gabriel making his third game in a row in all competitions, it is clear that Arsène has decided that the Brazilian needs to get a run of [...]

There's something comforting about a good, old-fashioned, 3pm FA Cup tie, isn't there? It's quintessentially English, I find, with bad weather normally thrown in to the mix too. We've certainly ticked all of today's boxes, as well as a a game against a lower league opposition in Burnley, who will probably be a Premier League [...]
So, it has been confirmed that we will be top of the league come New Year's Day, after the two City's - Leicester and Manchester - failed to score and ended with a 0-0 stalemate. It's the best possible result that we could have hoped for, in truth, because a Moneychester win would have put [...]
I had a race against time to get down for the match, after spending Christmas up north with The Managements family, so didn't manage a pre-game blog. But it's always a worthwhile journey when Arsenal win, so I'm glad I got up early and I'm even more glad we won, after the poor performance on [...]
On the face of it, if you consider that we are still just two points from the top of the league, life appears to be not that bad for us. But that is if you ignore some of the clear issues that appear to exist at the club right now. A 1-1 draw against Norwich [...]
Please forgive me if I end up jinxing the outcome of today's game, but this match today feels very much like the Swansea game of a few weeks ago, in which we had some very difficult moments but ended up winning comfortably away in South Wales. I'm not saying that I think we'll win today [...]
With just 24 hours until matchday, perhaps it was inevitable that we'd start getting snippets of information from both sets of players about this week's Bayern game, with Arturo Vidal treading firmly on the line between praise and arrogance. Having read his comments and seen some of the headlines, you could be forgiven that he [...]
Howdy Gooners, looking forward to another match day? I find this game a fascinating one to predict the team line up you know, because unlike in the league in which a core of 13 or 14 players maximum are realistically going to feature, tonight's game could have almost anybody starting. There will inevitably be some [...]
