We’re back to Premier League business, with yet another London Derby. Our final of the trio that we’ve had, back-to-back. The last time we hosted Crystal Palace at the Emirates, we drew 2-2. We dropped some much needed points, at the business end of the season, and we need to get them back for that.…

Champions League football, has returned… and The Arsenal are here to greet it, and hopefully, be terrible hosts, to Atletico Madrid. Arsenal haven’t played Atletico Madrid in European competition, since the 2017/18 season, when we played them in the semi-final, of the Europa League. We drew 1-1 at the Emirates, and lost the second leg…

After forty-two years as an Arsenal fan, and a football fanatic, you’d think that I’d be used to the rude interruption of the international break by now… well, I’M NOT! I despise the international break, even though I love the major tournaments. The Euros, and the World Cup, are welcomed to my screen, with open…

I dooooo LOVE the Champions League, and of course I want Arsenal to win it…BUT, there’s something about handling your business domestically, that I’ll ALWAYS love more. Being the best team in the league, over a 38 game period, and being crowned champions at the end of it, is a special, special thing. So, I’m…

The big games just keep coming, and now we must pause our pursuit of the Premier League, and face Olympiacos at The Emirates, in the Champions League. Olympiacos are the most successful team in Greek football history, and have beaten us at the Emirates, the last three times we’ve played them… just a reminder, that…

Newcastle, for the last two seasons, have been our bogey team… and quite frankly, it’s time to wipe our nose, and discard the tissue. It’s time for The Gunners to shoot The Magpies down, and ensure they never take a three points flight against us, for the foreseeable future. I don’t know what it is…

Here we are at the home of Port Vale, as we get our Carabao Cup campaign underway. A “Vale” by definition, is a long depression in the land, often between two hills, and containing a river. I think this is fitting, because if Arsenal don’t win a trophy this season, they’ll be depression across North…

“Stay humble.. eh”  The words are dripping with irony, wrapped in audacity, and sprinkled with hilarity. It’s already been well documented, that Erling Haaland uttered those words to Mikel Arteta, at the end of a 2-2 draw, between Arsenal and Manchester City, back in September 2024. I wish to dissect those words with a different…

Whether you call them “Athletic Club” or “Athletic Bilbao” , has no bearing on the tough test Arsenal will face, away from home, in our Champions League opener. Athletic Bilbao come into this match on the back of a 1-0 home defeat, by Alaves, but Bilbao had twelve shots during the game, so definitely don’t…

Far be it from me to be dramatic, but that was the longest international break, in the history of international breaks. Time was moving slower than a snail, experiencing an eternal slumber. It’s always that way, when your team suffers a defeat, right before the international break. My Anfield wounds are no longer gaping, but…
