Morning all. Arsenal have confirmed a few fixtures changes ahead of next month. On Saturday 20th April, instead of kicking off at 3pm against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, itās now a 7.30pm so Sky Sports can have their cameras ready in tin time. Our postponed home fixture against Chelsea will be played on Tuesday 23rd […]
Morning all. The new England kit. Itās a no from meā¦. Arsenal FC have confirmed that three of its own fans have been given a 3 year banning order after pleading guilty of public order offences relating to ātragedy chantingā during the game against Liverpool at The Emirates back in January. Stupid behaviour, […]
Morning all. I made an error. Thomas Partey hasnāt gone off on international duty. Neither has Gabriel as heās withdrawn because of injury. If you say so Gabrielā¦. Not for one minute do I think Gabriel is injured, I think this is the player and Arsenal seeing the bigger picture. Same with Thomas Partey who […]
Morning all. Itās looking like a Manchester derby for the FA Cup final in May. No disrespect to Coventry but I canāt see them beating Manchester Utd in the semi-final although I hope they do of course. Man City should in theory be too good for Chelsea. I watched some of the Chelsea match against […]
Morning all. The Champions League draw yesterday paired us with Bayern Munich. The first leg is at The Emirates Stadium on Tuesday April 9th and then the second leg in Germany takes place the following week on Wednesday, April 17th. Itās a shame weāre not playing the away fixture first because Bayern would have no […]
Morning Guys. Josh Kroenke was in town on Tuesday night apparently. He watched the Porto game with other board members and then 48 hours later, less even, Ben White has signed a new four year contract with the option of an extra year included. Heās 26 years old now so his peak years will be […]
Morning all. If thereās a result which says no lead is big enough, itās Lutonās 3-0 lead against Bournemouth on the south coast last night. How on earth could a team which is so desperate for points go on to crumble before losing 4-3? I strongly suspect the Bournemouth fans who booed their team off […]
Morning all. Before the day, Mikel Arteta had asked the fans travelling to The Emirates for last nightās huge match against Porto, to bring their voices with them. They did, they were brilliant. Arsenalās staring eleven was the same as the one which defeated Brentford at the weekend, barring David Raya who returned in place […]
ARSENAL.COM Morning all. Porto are in town and I suspect weāre all waiting to see what depths of dark arts football they will stoop to. Arsenalās Adrian Clarke, writing in the official matchday programme: ConceicaoĀ inspired a defensive tactical masterclass at the Estadio Dragao by sacrificing a high-intensity pressing game for a well-organised, pragmatic approach. […]
Morning all. So, after the 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Man City yesterday afternoon, a perfect result for Arsenal by the way, the race for the Premier League title is close. Very close, in fact I canāt recall the last time there was three clubs in the race at this stage of the season. My […]
Morning all. That really was edge of the seat stuff. Aaron Ramsdale will no doubt hog the headlines for the wrong reasons but, letās be honest here, he ending up keeping us in the game with a couple of outstanding saves. The one from Ivan Toney was incredible. Mikel Arteta made two changes to the […]
