Morning. After a rare midweek off, we’re back in action this afternoon as we face Chelsea at home. Team news from the manager’s press conference was vague, so we’ll have to wait and see who is available later. Reports circulating this morning that Kai Havertz is going to be in the squad are welcome, and […]

Morning, let’s do a quick Saturday round-up. The obvious place to start is the Champions League draw which took place yesterday, and we’re going to face Bayer Leverkusen. Perhaps the most interesting part of it all is the side of the draw we’re on, avoiding many of the so-called ‘big’ teams, at least until the […]

Morning all. After a quiet week, things will start to build up again today as Mikel Arteta meets the press ahead of our game against Chelsea on Sunday. I don’t quite know what injury news we’re looking for updates on, perhaps Bukayo Saka who went off late in the North London derby, but apart from […]

League titles and big trophies are largely won by tangible elements. Talent, organisation, depth, tactics, player management. Without those aspects in full working order you cannot demonstrate the consistency needed to win a title.

Which is, essentially, about the word count of your typical novel (using around 80,000 words as a […]

Morning all, Andrew M is out of action today, so I’m on cover duty for the morning…the 83rd time you’ve had to put up with me on the main blog in the last 10 years, I just checked. There’s not a whole lot happening on the Arsenal front. After a couple of days off, the […]

Morning all. Hopefully you’re still enjoying the warm glow of Sunday’s game. I can’t lie, and I know everyone’s feeling on this particular fixture is different, but it’s one I never look forward to – despite our vastly superior record in it. Which is a bit mad, because I’m not Tottenham adjacent like many of […]

“It feels like we’ve shown what we are made of but then you have to show it again and again and again.” North London is red and Arsenal didn’t just win but responded to the biggest setback of the season with one of the best performances of the campaign at Tottenham on Sunday. Almost exactly […]
