The Arsenal vs Liverpool – Premier League Preview – Huge chance to extend that gap
I’ve lost count of the number of times that I’ve written about what a huge game the next game is so I think I’m going to have to come up with a new adjective for this one – gargantuan! This is an absolutely gargantuan game!!! Following the Premier League results last night, Arsenal have the…

Bournemouth vs The Arsenal – 2-3 – Player Ratings – Arsenal suffer again, but emerge victorious
Bournemouth vs The Arsenal – 2-3 – Player Ratings – Arsenal suffer again, but emerge victorious The word ‘suffer’ is the operative word here. It’s a word that Mikel Arteta uses quite a lot – ‘we had to suffer for a period..’ etc. Arsenal had to suffer in different ways this evening against Bournemouth, yet…

AFC Bournemouth vs The Arsenal – Premier League Preview – Just keep winning
Arsenal travel to Bournemouth this evening for the next tricky fixture during this awkward period for Arsenal, with a view to extending the lead over Manchester City to 7 points, ahead of the Manchester side’s game against Chelsea tomorrow. Arsenal lost both fixtures last year against Bournemouth and although the Cherries are not in great…

The Arsenal vs Aston Villa – 4-1 – Player Ratings – Doesn’t that feel better?!?
Wow!! What a result. Hands up, who saw this happening at half time?!?! I messaged someone at half time that I couldn’t see where the goals were coming from and this might not be our day to day (or words to that affect). I’m sitting down now and eating those words with relish as Arsenal…

The Arsenal vs Aston Villa – Premier League Preview – Shouldn’t need much motivating for this one!
Arsenal welcome Aston Villa to The Emirates this evening in what is largely being billed as Arsenal’s opportunity for revenge following the last gasp defeat at Villa Park, at the start of the month. I think that game will be one of those that will haunt the Arsenal players for a good while, regardless of…

Good morning Gooners! If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you’ve had a good couple of days celebrating, eating and a nice couple of days off, if you are lucky enough to not have to work it! For Arsenal, it is very much back to work today as they welcome Brighton to The Emirates in what…

The Arsenal vs Crystal Palace (League Cup) – The balancing act continues
Arsenal came through a really tricky game at Everton at the weekend and now have to navigate another such game, albeit at home, to Crystal Palace tonight in the League Cup. Both sides know that victory will take them into the semi-finals, where they will need to get past Chelsea to reach Wembley and have…

Everton vs The Arsenal – 0-1 – Top at Christmas
They made hard work of it, but in the end, Arsenal got the job done and returned to the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win, on their first visit to Everton’s Hill Dickinson stadium. Before the game I was really wanting a strong performance from the team, as well as the result…

Everton vs The Arsenal – Time to see what this Arsenal team is made of
Arsenal go into this one knowing that a win on their first visit to the Hill Dickinson Stadium will see them top of the table at Christmas, so the prize of a win in this one is pretty huge. Arsenal’s away form in the past few games (domestically at least) has been patchy to say…

The Arsenal vs Wolves – Player Ratings – That was not good enough!
Arsenal well and truly got away with one tonight and although the manner of the win makes that a big three points, there are worrying signs appearing in this team that are really, really concerning. Arsenal went into the match with the football world expecting a completely one sided game against a hapless relegation fodder…
