Morning folks, It’s the North London derby day and, despite losing just two weeks ago, I can’t help but feel optimistic regarding our chances. In part this optimism is down to a good recent home record. The Gunners have won 10 league games in a row at the Emirates – setting a personal record in […]

The Gunners prove they are not shy as the officials hang them out to dry: Manchester City 3-1 Arsenal
So the near-impossible didn’t happen despite my somewhat elevated expectations and we went down to City at the Etihad. However, while I do not feel particularly upbeat about the loss itself (no one ever does, do they?), yesterday we didn’t see a capitulation akin to that at Anfield. There’s a lot of talking points to […]
Arsenal are City’s Achilles Heel so let’s win this for Santi’s New Achilles
We face Manchester City today and it’s fair to say Pep’s side is likely to provide us with the sternest test yet. Our campaign has been hit-and-miss up to date, although I do have to give the team credit for recovering after (another) horrendous start. Since collapsing at Anfield we have lost only once in […]
Swans Gunned down eventually but is it time for a Keeper to Cech Out?
For the second time inside a week Arsenal have done something I thought they were not capable of since the meek surrender to Watford: they showed some guts. Both against Everton and Swansea the Gunners went behind; both goals were conceded against the run of play; both were the first moments of danger created near […]
Arsenal’s attack back on track to deliver for #FPL owners?
Howdy. It’s safe to say gameweek 9 didn’t exactly go according to plan. Strikers disappointed, Pep rotated and you had to be very astute for your midfield to compensate for that. Let’s get our teeth into the latest trends, shall we? Forwards The situation is such it might be wise to go with two up […]
Mesut, Alexis and Alexandre – Les Trois Mousquetaires put Everton to the sword
I’ll start off by saying this is the best I have seen Arsenal perform this season. We started the game full of beans, driven to score early and settle the nerves and, were it not for Pickford’s excellent form at the outset, we could have been out of sight by the time Rooney scored. Instead […]
Coquelin back in with Xhaka and Ramsey pushed up with Alexis behind Lacazette?
It’s the visit to the Merseyside today on the cards for the Gunners, pinning Arsene Wenger’s men against Ronald Koeman’s blue outfit. Everton is generally a tough team play, they have become uncomfortable opponents during the David Moyes era, but facing them under the stewardship of Ronald Koeman is even less appealing. Of the […]
Alexis Sanchez can force his way into your Fantasy team
Howdy. Another Premier League weekend is nearly upon us and we’d all like to do better this time around, don’t we? Let’s try and figure how we can achieve that. Forwards First and foremost I have to apologise to those of you who followed my advice last week to wait on Jesus and turn your […]
Groundhog Day for the Manager who NEVER learns from his mistakes – Watford 2-1 Arsenal

Holding can prove a valuable FPL budget pick
Howdy. The Premier League returns tomorrow after another tedious international break, and with it returns its lesser Fantasy twin. Let’s try navigating the murky waters thereof ahead of gameweek 8. Forwards Unless you own Kane or Lukaku (or both) you have probably been sweating most of the break. By the way, while we are on […]
