Morning all. Before switching to Kev’s match review, no sooner had I asked Alexa to play Radio 1 this morning, “Up The Gunners” boomed back at me. Greg James, an Arsenal fan himself, was talking to today’s quiz contestant, also an Arsenal fan. Another Arsenal fan, Eberechi Eze, stole the show yesterday with his […]

Morning all. What better way is there to return to domestic football than a North London Derby at The Emirates Stadium? This is the fixture both sets of fans look for when the seasons fixtures are released, this and the one at Totts stadium. Arsenal have been good at home, Totts good away from […]
Morning all. I read the news on the clubs official website yesterday afternoon and leaned something new. Mikel Arteta has never lost a north London derby at home, not as a player or manager. That’s quite a record and one I’m sure he’ll want to extend on Sunday afternoon. The Spaniard’s love affair with […]
Morning all. Renée Slegers side did well last night in the Champions League. 1-0 down at home against Real Madrid before an Alessia Russo double secured all three points. Just what the women needed after last weeks surrender of a 2-0 lead against Bayern. Being super critical, we were a bit wasteful in […]
Morning all. One more round of World Cup qualifying fixtures tonight and that’s international football 2025 over and done with. Spain, Denmark and Belgium feature tonight meaning Leandro Trossard, Christian Norgaard, David Raya, Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi are likely to be in action. Ecuador have a friendly fixture in the early hours of tomorrow […]
Morning all. The simple answer to the question in the headline is, we’ll find out on Sunday. Mikel Arteta is a crafty manager in my opinion and I think both Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel will be in the squad to face Totts. We may not like it or agree with it, but the game […]
Morning all. We’re half way through this international break but this last week has felt like a month. So far, it’s good news on the injury front but of course, there is still one game for our players to feature in. Bukayo Saka and Ebe Eze secured England’s 2-0 victory over Serbia, both […]
Morning all. Call me selfish, I really don’t care but when our players aren’t called up for their respective country, I’m pleased. These guys can talk about how proud they feel representing their nation but I bet there are times, many times I’m sure when they just wish they could stay at home instead […]
Afternoon all. Arsenal have played 17 matches in total this season, winning 14, drawing twice, and losing just once, with an aggregate score of 37-7. We are four points clear at the top of the Premier League and joint top of the Champions League group stage with a perfect record. Not to forget we […]
Morning all. So our “clean sheet” run came to an end, as did our winning run. Shock horror, we drew a match away from home. The world has ended, the hopes of Arsenal winning the league are over and we might as well write this season off right now. At least that’s what […]
Morning all. The vibes which came out of Mikel Arteta’s pre-match press conference prior to yesterday’s key match at The Stadium of Light gave us the surprising impression that maybe one, even more of our many injured and missed forward players might actually return to supplement the hard working Mikel Merino in our attack […]
Morning all. Last fixture before the international break this evening as Mikel Arteta and his players go up against Granit Xhaka and his Sunderland teammates. It’s not just Xhaka who has history with Arsenal though as Daniel Ballard joined the club as an 8 year old before making a permanent move to Sunderland in […]
