In this edition we look back on the Premier League clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. HEADLIGHT Paul Hepker: Declan Rice curveball impossibly finding side-netting from 50 yards. Dave Seager: Further evidence, if any were needed, that this group of players have a never say die spirit. An unwillingness to be beaten, which is a […]
Subs, Squad and Sunday League An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective There was a time in my early twenties where I’d figured out the absolute best way that a human can spend 24 hours. Here was the recipe… Saturday: Highbury at 3pm. The delightful smell and taste of the greatest partly grey cheeseburger with […]
It’s Matchday 2 and only three teams have a perfect record. Only four other teams are unbeaten. The old cliché rings true: there are no easy games in the Premier League. The old “Top Four” that battled it out, year upon year, for Champions League spots, grew to a Top Five, and then Six. One […]
It can be tough seeing Arsenal players leave. Not always… there are definitely players who overstay their welcome – [INSERT NAME HERE] – but occasionally a player has wormed his way into your heart, for whatever reason, and saying goodbye can be tough. Granit Xhakaʻs goodbye made me think about some of the other players […]
Last season Arsenal were extremely close to upsetting the odds and finishing ahead of Manchester City and winning the Premier League, but unfortunately it wasn’t to be and they fell just short.

The team was back in business 48 hours after the Selhurst Park triumph, welcoming a struggling Liverpool side to Meadow Park. The bad news of a cold night in North London was the absence of Steph Catley, who was […]
Another game against Chelsea, another hurtful result.Once again, we are left ruing the missed chances, the lack of composure in front of goal. Chelsea took their chances while we didn’t and that, combined with some poor defending, cut our FA Cup journey very short. Jonas Eidevall reverted to a back four, with Liä Walti and […]
Where do we go from here? The question has been doing rounds in my head since the final whistle went at the Academy Stadium of Manchester. We deservedly lost to Manchester City and are now fourth in the table, five points behind Chelsea in first and three behind Manchester United in second. Manchester City leapfrogged […]
Following Chelski’s hijacking of the Mudryk signing, Arteta called an emergency meeting with Edu. My mate’s nan’s cat-sitter’s, brother-in-law overheard the conversation and sent me the transcript. MA: “Ed, have you heard, Chelski have dismantled their scouting department and are now just bidding £20m extra on anyone we bid on” Edu: “ FFS, I thought […]
