Arsenal head into the weekend with momentum building after an impressive Champions League victory over Lille, but Mikel Arteta still has a few selection headaches to contend with ahead of Sunday’s trip to Nottingham Forest. The Gunners came from behind to beat Leeds United 2-1 in the Premier League before producing a second-half burst to […]
The biggest talking point in the summer was Arsenal’s failure to land a top left winger. Eventually, we opted to stick with just the one new signing in Christos Tzolis, who would be supported by a combination of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke. Now I have always maintained that the left wing is the toughest […]
For an hour at least, we were left waiting for the spark. When it finally arrived, however, it came in a glorious rush, as three goals in seven minutes turned a frustrating European night into another thoroughly satisfying victory. Mikel Arteta made five changes following Saturday’s win over Leeds, with Jurriën Timber, Mikel Merino, Eberechi […]
Tonight we continue our Champions League campaign against Lille. Recently we blogged about how Mikel Arteta needs to approach the Champions League differently this year – rather than chasing perfection, he needs to rest and rotate his squad with the aim of just getting through, not winning the group stage. To that extent, I expect […]
Arsenal made hard work of it, but a second-half comeback secured three points against a Leeds United side who will feel they deserved rather more from their afternoon in north London. After the disappointment of defeat to Brighton before the international break, Mikel Arteta’s team needed a response. What they produced for much of the […]
It was brilliant news that Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract. Anyone that disagrees with this fact must hold some sort of grudge. Likely going back to Arteta snubbing them as a player when, as a grown man, they used to hang about the training ground begging for shirts to be signed. So 2030. […]
Football can be an odd game sometimes. In the first few games of this season, Viktor Gyokeres looked like a little boy lost. Hardly seeing any game time, completely out of form and questions over his future. Then the international break happened. Kai Havertz had started Arsenal’s Premier League campaign as the manager’s preferred option […]
The simple answer is no. If you want, you can now stop reading. In the last few weeks we have seen some laughable claims from Man City fans. The most hilarious is that City lawyers deliberately lost the case with the aim of either winning an appeal, or presenting their case to a higher authority. It is crazy that […]
Let’s get it right, Manchester City’s defence of the 115 was nothing short of a disaster. 114 of the 115 charges stuck, the Premier League labelled it a “sham”, and key witnesses and irrefutable evidence on behalf of Manchester City either did not materialise or could not be proven. Manchester City’s sole defence of the […]
The international break is finally edging towards its conclusion, and there is plenty for us Arsenal supporters to keep an eye on this Sunday morning. For all the frustration surrounding the 3-0 defeat at Brighton last time out, the bigger picture remains a positive one. Arsenal had won seven consecutive matches in all competitions before […]
I go away for a few days and all hell breaks out! Whilst away, the Manchester City verdict was leaked, the Premier League made a statement and Man City made their own statement. In between there were videos to staff, and more doubling down by City officials on their defence. Plenty has already been written […]
Oh the hypocrisy of it all. Arsenal have made huge changes to away ticketing in recent years following some very noisy campaigning from a very small minority of fans. First they got rid of the away scheme, then they introduced random pickups, and this summer they went after supportersclubs. Finally, they made it easier for r and silver members […]
After all the noise last season and this surrounding Premier League decision making, the Key Match Incident (KMI) Panel confirm what we all knew – that Arsenal get unfavourable decisions and Man City get a lot of mistakes in their favour. Sunderland penalty for as wrong The most recent development concerns Arsenal’s 2-0 victory at […]
There have been bigger signings. There have been more expensive signings. There have been trophies, stadium developments, record-breaking transfers and moments thatwill live forever in Arsenal history. But Mikel Arteta agreeing a new contract yesterday might just be the most important thing Arsenal’s board has done this century. That sounds like an outrageous claim when you remember the early 2000s, the move to the Emirates, the end of Arsène Wenger’s reign and everything […]
Morning. There is not exactly a huge amount of Arsenal football news to get excited about this morning. The international break has arrived at possibly the worst time, with Arsenal coming off the back of a 3-0 defeat at Brighton and now having to wait before they can put things right. Although some will argue […]
