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…

The Arsenal v Olympiacos – 2-0 Player Ratings
David Raya – 8 Didn’t have a lot to do but what he did, he did impeccably and based on that logic, he should probably get higher than an 8, but he really didn’t have much to do so let’s not get carried away! Great save from Daniel Podence at a critical point of the…

The Arsenal vs Olympiacos – Momentum is key
After the drama and heroics of the weekend win at Newcastle, it’s back to business for Arsenal in a game that they must win if they are to continue the strong momentum that they are building. Aside from the importance of momentum in relation to the Premier League table, this is also an excellent opportunity…

Newcastle United v The Arsenal 1-2 How massive will this result prove to be?
What. A. Game. More specifically, what an ending to the game? The results on Saturday had bumped this up from a key game to a must-win, so the stakes couldn’t be much higher. I must admit, I’d reached the stage of the season already where I deliberately avoid the results of our rivals, for fear…

Newcastle United v The Arsenal – 1-2 Player Ratings
David Raya – 7 Made a few routine saves but it was his dominance from crosses and the way he commanded his box that was most impressive. No chance with the goal. Best moment: Commanding punch from one dangerous Newcastle corner was a real confidence booster for his defence. Either that or sprinting the length…

Newcastle United vs The Arsenal – Premier League – Is this a must win game??
Obvious statement alert……this is a huge game in the early parts of the season. Our draw last week at home to City had let Liverpool open up a 5 point lead. We’ve had a rough start to the season from a fixture point of view, and none of the results could be described as horrific,…
