Morning all. Ex Arsenal player Serge Gnabry talking ahead of tonight’s big clash: It’s a do-or-die game – that’s where we’re usually particularly strong. Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League would give us a huge boost. It’s our big goal. Arsenal have had what it takes to play at the top again […]

Morning all. Manchester Utd did both Arsenal and Manchester City a bit of a favour yesterday by nicking a point off of Liverpool. Who knows what the two points Liverpool missed out on will do to the title race but for now, it means Arsenal remain top for a few more days at least. Aston […]
Good morning all. Mikel Arteta opted for Gabriel Jesus instead of Gabriel Martinelli yesterday evening, Oleksandr Zinchenko instead of Jakub Kiwior too. Thomas Partey, along with Leandro Trossard, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Aaron Ramsdale, ESR, Martinelli, Kiwior, Eddie Nketiah and Fabio Vieira watched on from the substitutes bench. Chances to take the lead came early for Arsenal. […]
Morning all. December 2022, the last time we played Brighton at The Amex Stadium. New Year’s Eve to be precise and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal were top of the table, four points ahead of Man City in second place. Brighton would have been full of confidence having knocked us out of the League Cup just a […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta handed a rare start to ESR, Reiss Nelson and Thomas Partey last night. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Leandro Trossard came into the team too. Bukayo Saka was nowhere to be seen while Declan Rice, Jakub Kiwior, Gabriel Martinelli, Jorginho and Gabriel Jesus watched on from the bench. Rice, Martinelli, Nketiah, Jorginho and […]
Morning all. When an Arsenal team comes back from The Etihad with just a point and, judging by the internet, people are moaning, it tells me one thing. Arsenal FC is in a really good place. This time last season, we were battered 4-1, this year we didn’t let them score one, let […]
Morning all. First up, I wish Frida Maanum a speedy recovery after she collapsed during the Women’s Cup Final yesterday afternoon. Scary moments for her and her Arsenal mates. Mates who rallied round and went on to beat Chelsea 1-0 in extra time. Well done to them. Onto The Etihad and unlike Walker and Ederson, […]
Morning all. Happy Easter one and all. It’s a big day for Arsenal. The women play Chelsea in the League Cup Final at Molineux, kick off at 3pm and then the men take on Man City at The Etihad, kick off at 4-30pm. A basket of chocolate eggs or 3 points later this afternoon, there’s […]
Morning all. If I didn’t know better, I’d think there was a boxing matching taking place tomorrow instead of a football match between Manchester City and Arsenal. Headlines have been written about how tomorrow is about Rodri v Declan Rice, or in my opinion, a player who tries every dirty trick in the book to […]
Morning all. Ethan Nwaneri has put pen to paper and signed his first professional contract at Arsenal. Of course he’s thrilled: I’m delighted to have finally got to this stage after all the hard work over so many years,” he said. “It’s a proud moment for me and my family to finally be here, so […]
Morning all. I hadn’t been long in this world when Manchester City were relegated into the old Division Two. Two years later, and after the appointment of Joe Mercer and Malcolm Allison – they were back in Division One with better times ahead. Mike Summerbee and Colin Bell joined City and then in 1967-68, they […]
Morning all. Thank goodness the international break is done and dusted. After all the negative stuff Deschamps spilled about William Saliba, our centre-back played the full match for France last night as they beat Chile 3-2. Kai Havertz played 73 minutes for Germany as they defeated the Netherlands 2-1. Jakub Kiwior played 120 minutes of […]
