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. It’s a shame we’re 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. He’s 26 years old now so his peak years will be […]
Morning all. If there’s a result which says no lead is big enough, it’s Luton’s 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 night’s huge match against Porto, to bring their voices with them. They did, they were brilliant. Arsenal’s 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 we’re all waiting to see what depths of dark arts football they will stoop to. Arsenal’s Adrian Clarke, writing in the official matchday programme: Conceicao 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 can’t 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, let’s 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 […]
Morning all. Another weekend, another Arsenal league fixture. We face Brentford this evening, Porto on Tuesday and then that’s it for nearly three weeks as the international game takes over. The key points from Mikel Arteta’s post match press conference: Team news: Not much, we got some players back last Monday, and then we had […]
Morning all. Remember the ‘Arsenal don’t like it up ‘em’ comments or the ‘southern softies’ which usually came from the likes of Pulis, Big Sam – or any manager of a club based up north. The pundits loved it of course and would often join in on a match day. Well, scrub that label these […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta stuck by the old ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ mantra yesterday evening as he fielded the same starting eleven for the second match running. If it was because he’d anticipated a tricky game as I did,, he couldn’t have been more wrong. The fixture turned out to be […]
Morning all. Arsenal women kept their chance of a WSL trophy intact yesterday by beating Totts 1-0. It was a frustrating performance because they struggled to find the net in the first half. Right after the break, Alessia Russo tapped home a sitter after some good work from Beth Mead. Not one Premier League result […]
Morning all. Declan Rice has been named Premier League Player of the Year at the 2024 London Football Awards. His goal against West Ham United is a contender for February’s Premier League Goal of the Month too. Speaking on-stage at the event, Declan said: Since I’ve walked through the doors [at Arsenal] I’ve loved every […]
