Arsenal fans have spent over two decades waiting for a league title. Now that it’s finally arrived, the question most Gooners are already asking is whether this squad can do it again. The bookmakers clearly think so. Arsenal have opened at 6/4 favourites to retain the Premier League in 2026/27, ahead of Manchester City at […]
Oh the irony, Manure pundits are clutching their pearls and calling for Martinelli to be hung, drawn and quartered, and put on spikes at The Tower for all to see. The game was littered with gamesmanship on both sides. Both sets of players were going down ‘injured’ to break up momentum. Gabi wasn’t aware of […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! It’s been a while since we last spoke, and Arsenal built on their all-important win against Real Madrid with two very narrow but equally important results against Liverpool in the WSL, and against Twente in the UWCL. Both performances were somehow unconvincing, and the scoreline was much closer than it should […]
‘The brake or the gas’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective The dialogue among Arsenal fans after the Liverpool game has been quite fascinating. Apart from those that automatically start attention seeking and wanting over the top accountability for one game of football, the rest of us seem to be somewhat uniquely divided on […]
So many debates have been had about which striker would be better, ‘prospect’ and athletic monster Sesko or ‘ready now’ flat track bully Gyokores, but we all have that nagging concern, what if we don’t land either? After all the club has previous for this kind of behaviour, most notably in the last two transfer […]
The Arsenal Women Journal – A First Major Setback for Renée [ARS 0-1 LIV] Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! I must say, I didn’t expect that result. Or, to be more accurate, I could have expected Liverpool to beat us thanks to a lucky shot, or even an own goal, but only in a scenario where […]
Liverpool go 11 points clear and the old ‘bottle job’ quotes come out. City arrived at the bar early to get a good seat, got drunk by 8pm and were last seen throwing up in the toilets. United, going through yet another divorce, came in to see if they could still hang with the cool […]
‘A wasted week’ An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective Have no fear. I’m not going to scream and shout. I would hope that you read this because I offer solutions and some unique analysis. Never wanted to do a match report and most certainly don’t ever want to try to get readers by being […]
Hello, Arsenal Women aficionados! What a weird afternoon in Liverpool: we should have won comfortably, we could have dropped a couple of points, and we ended making ground up on both Chelsea and Manchester City, who drew against Leicester City and lost to Everton, respectively. When Alessia Russo scored her sixth goal in the last […]
Sleeping in UpsideDownWorld An Arsenal blog from a coach’s perspective So, I watched the game at my former boss’ house. I always wished he wasn’t my boss because we get along so well and watching football with him is fun. He’s a Liverpool fan. We don’t often go to his house but I took almost […]
