Morning all. Last nights game against Dinamo Zagreb couldn’t have started any better than it did for Arsenal as with just over a minute into the game, Declan Rice hammered home our first goal of the match. Gabriel Martinelli played the ball into Kai Havertz inside the box, the big German knocked the […]

Morning all. Finally, some good news from Mikel Arteta as both Riccardo Calafiori and Ethan Nwaneri have not only returned to training, but they will be in the squad for tonight’s game. Also training with the first team yesterday was 15 year old Max Dowman and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji. There’s an extra incentive to win […]
Morning all. Champions League football returns this week and Arsenal are in a good position to qualify for the knockout stages. But, with twenty other clubs still able to finish in the top eight, Arsenal cannot afford to take either of the remaining fixtures lightly as the last thing Mikel Arteta’s […]
Morning all. After Arsenal threw away a two goal lead against Aston Villa yesterday evening, the media described the day as ‘title defining’. Liverpool had beaten Brentford in the final few minutes of the game, the difference between title winning teams and those in chasing pack. Mikel Arteta bemoaned having fewer options on the […]
Morning all. Everything went right for Mikel Arteta and his players on Wednesday night. The fans were brilliant, the players gave a bit extra and even a decision or two went our way which in itself is unusual. The result topped off what was a perfect night. Any win over Totts is perfect in […]

Morning all. David Ornstein confirmed yesterday that Arsenal are pursuing a deal to sign midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad next summer. The move for the 25-year-old has been worked on for a considerable time. Ornstein goes on to suggest Mikel Arteta is the key driver behind a pursuit that was reinvigorated in the process […]
Morning all. Ahead of tomorrow nights North London Derby, Mikel Arteta has been talking to the media. Although he did not confirm it, Gabriel Jesus is likely to be ruled out for the rest of the season with suspected ACL injury. Should that injury be confirmed, I think we can forget about seeing […]
Morning all. I’ve said before that each time Arsenal start a new game I hope that this is the one when everything clicks into place. The passing improves, the movement off the ball less static, our general play more dynamic and our finishing more clinical. However, we’re in January, nearly six months […]
Morning all. Arsenal take on Manchester Utd this afternoon in what has been described as being a potential mouthwatering clash between two clubs who have lifted the FA Cup more times than most. Arsenal, more than any other club with Utd just one behind. I’m far from convinced the match will be a […]
Morning all. Football is a funny old game isn’t it? One day, any one team can be brilliant, the next, bang average. Look at Utd so far this season, they’ve been pretty poor to say the least but just as I thought Liverpool were going to give them a good hiding, they turned up […]
