Morning all. I know Arsenal face a huge task tomorrow night against a Sporting Lisbon side who will be out to overturn our 1-0 lead, but it’s hard not to look at tonight’s game between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona and wonder who we could potentially face. Atletico are 2-0 up going into tonight’s home leg […]

The above is doing the rounds on social media and it’s not good if it’s genuine. Even though Wrighty missed a season out, the one when we finished eighth, I get what he’s saying. It’s going to be hard to defend “the process” if it doesn’t bear fruit this season. Right now it feels […]
Bournemouth arrived at the Emirates well rested from a 22 day siesta, having last played in a match on the 20th March. In fact their manager Andoni Iraola was actually more concerned that his players may well have lost their competitive edge during those 22 days, he needn’t have worried. Bournemouth were also the only […]
Morning all. Every player needs to be at their best for the next two months. They have to give everything for the badge, the club, the staff and especially the fans. The fans who have been through the ups, the downs and now hopefully, the ups again. I don’t think we’ll get a better opportunity […]
Morning all. Aaron Ramsey, the Welshman Arsenal signed from Cardiff City back in 2008 has retired from football. I think it’s fair to say he is one of those players who divided fans. On his day, he could be brilliant, on other days he could drift through games without really making an impact. I don’t […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta was able to bring a few of his main men back into the starting XI yesterday evening and not least the considerable influences of Declan Rice and Gabriel, the latter showing no signs of his concerning knee issue. A fiery atmosphere met both teams as they entered the arena, the […]
Morning all. I have to laugh at some of the headlines in the media. Only they were talking about Arsenal Football Club and a quadruple in the same sentence and now, those same buffoons are writing about have we’ve failed. Not for one minute did I personally believe we’d win all four competitions, in […]
Southampton ran out wearing a replica of their 1976 FA Cup winning shirt, so for possibly the first time ever an Arsenal team wore their red home kit in a Southampton stadium. Arteta, shorn of Rice, Timber, Hincapie, Eze and Saka rang in the changes. Max Dowman started whilst on the bench was three of […]
Morning all. FA Cup quarter-final day today as Arsenal take on Southampton at St Mary’s. This is the 109th season in the history of Southampton FC, the club’s first season back in the Championship since the 2023–24 campaign, following their relegation from the Premier League last season. Pre-season, Will Still was appointed as the club’s […]
Morning all. Hero of the night for Renée Slegers team was goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar who stopped everything which came her way until the dying moments of the game. By then it was too late for Chelsea to draw level. Arsenal had the ball in the back of the net before then when Stina […]
Morning all. Roberto De Zerbi taking the Totts job has baffled me. I thought he’d aim higher than a club flirting with relegation and a group of players who just haven’t played for their manager this season. Thomas Frank is a good and proven manager but he couldn’t get a tune out of them, […]
Morning all. The below list of Arsenal players are alleged to be injured. Some withdrew from international duty pre this break, others have returned during it. Either way, Mikel Arteta potentially faces a selection nightmare ahead of the FA Cup game against Southampton on Saturday. Ebe Eze Declan Rice Bukayo Saka Martin Zubimendi Gabriel […]
