The Arsenal v Atletico Madrid 4-0 – Boring, boring Arsenal?
It was billed by many as the battle of the defences and I think few could have imagined the final score, especially at half time. This was a fantastic result for Arsenal yet there are a few moments that you look back on where it could have gone horribly wrong. As always, the first goal…

The Arsenal v Atletico Madrid – 4-0 Player Ratings
David Raya – 7 Tempted to mark Raya down slightly due to the error with his feet that nearly cost us the opening goal, as that could have been really costly, but I still think this was a 7 out of 10 performance overall. Swept up well, distribution was good and I think he might…

The Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid – Let’s keep the winning run going
The Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid – Time to keep the winning run going After another important win in the league on Saturday, attention now turns to the Champions League were Arsenal have started quite well so far. Two wins from win has lifted them up to fifth in the league so a win against Atletico…

Fulham v The Arsenal 0-1 – Another three points, another clean sheet…
What a weekend we’ve had! It felt like the pressure was really on Arsenal to win this one and despite bits of criticism flying here and there, we won it fairly comfortably and were deserving of the three points. The winning goal came from another set piece, with Trossard poking in at the far post,…

Fulham v The Arsenal – 0-1 Player Ratings
David Raya – 7 Commanded his box and swept up well but didn’t have a lot to do in terms of shot saving. Harry Wilson peppered his goal in the first half but he was never called into action, with Fulham failing to record a single short on target. Best moment: Came out and cleaned…

Fulham vs The Arsenal – They can’t all be massive, but this is another huge game
At the time of writing, it looks like the international break has been quite kind to us so now it’s time to regroup and get back to business. Arsenal finished the last round of fixtures top of the pile so now the challenge is to stay there. Arsenal’s four fixtures until the next international break…

The Arsenal v West Ham United 2-0 – TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
At the time of writing, Liverpool have already played this weekend and therefore I can say that we’re not only top of the league, we’re staying there for at least a fortnight! Considering we were 5 points behind Liverpool less than a week ago, that is some turnaround. Looking with a slightly broader lens, considering…

The Arsenal v West Ham United – 2-0 Player Ratings
David Raya – 6 Another cleansheet but I don’t think he’s had an easy one so far this season. Faced zero shots and came under very little pressure all game. Flapped at a couple of corners which is unlike him but West Ham still never threatened. Best moment: Didn’t have a single shot to save,…

The Arsenal vs West Ham – Time to right some wrongs
After exercising a few demons against Olympiacos in the week, attention now turns to West Ham, where we’ve had some shocking results over the past few seasons. Two losses at home in three years, including two in a row, is probably up there with the worst stats we have against any team in the Premier…

The Arsenal v Olympiacos 2-0 – Job Done
Not one that is going to live long in the memory but another three points against a seasoned Champions League team, another clean sheet, what’s not to like? It wasn’t vintage Arsenal and we didn’t blow the Greek side away like we all hoped but it was a decent performance and a good win. When…
