The Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – North London is very much red!
What a game that was! I don’t get to many games these days due to many commitments and I’m largely okay with that, but every so often there’s a game that comes along where I feel a great swell of envy for those who were lucky enough to be at The Emirates for the game,…

The Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur – The stakes have just been raised…
How can the biggest game of the season get any bigger? It shouldn’t be possible, but yesterday’s results did just that. Don’t get me wrong, beating that lot from down the road should always be one of our main priorities. However, this season Arsenal have loftier ambitions and go into today’s game knowing that a…

Sunderland v The Arsenal aftermath: One game too far?
How are we feeling this morning Gooners? That was a really painful one last night. It’s very much a story of what could have been and what ifs and I think that’s always what makes bad results that bit harder to swallow. At half time a draw was looking pretty good, as we were way…

Sunderland vs The Arsenal 2-2 – Player Ratings
Arsenal inexplicably surrendered two points in the title race by conceding a late equaliser at Sunderland, in a frustrating game in the North East on Saturday evening. In the first half, Arsenal were pedestrian in possession and although they enjoyed the vast majority of possession and territory, they did little with either, and in truth…

Sunderland vs The Arsenal – Biggest game of the season so far?
The headline might appear dramatic, but that’s exactly how it feels to me. At the start of the season, you would have looked at this game as ‘promoted team away, tricky due to the home fans yet the team should look to be taking three points’. There’s considerable narrative involved now though. Firstly, Sunderland have…

Slavia Prague vs The Arsenal – Getting a bit thin on the ground
Arsenal’s focus returns to the Champions League on Tuesday night as we look to cement our place in the top 8 however, the squad is getting a little thin and rotation is likely still required so this one could get a bit tight. Slavia Prague have not set the world alight in their upcoming Champions…

Arsenal’s winning run, and clean sheets, continued on Saturday afternoon at Turf Moor as Arsenal ran out 2-0 winners, with goals in the first half coming from Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice. Arsenal blew Burnley away in a scintillating period in the first half which saw Bukayo Saka twice draw big saves from Martin Dubravka…

Burnley vs The Arsenal – Rest is over, time to go to work
October has been a brilliant month for Arsenal, now they have to have to really push on and start November in the same form. There are three games left until the next international break, which is the magic point for me as key players like Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and Martin Odegaard will return after…

The Arsenal v Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 – More to this one than just another win and clean sheet
If the last few games had been a bit dull for the neutral, this one was anything but, as a much changed Arsenal team (understandably) failed to control the game in the same way as they usually do, which lead to an end-to-end contest. Arsenal rode their luck at times during this one and were…
