Arsenal’s 2022/2023 Premier League campaign was a surprise to the masses. Many expected the Gunners to be battling it out for a place in Europe’s top flight, but instead, the North Londoners went toe to toe with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City for the title. Mikel Arteta’s men produced exceptional performance levels, accumulating 50 points after […]
Far be it for me to ever put myself in the manager’s shoes, (as if we armchair pundits would ever be so bold), but if I was Mikel Arteta I would be in Leverkusen’s Bay Arena on Monday night. Not to say hello to Granit, as he will not be there, but to watch the […]
Excelling Declan Rice One of the most value for money big money signings ever. He was the talisman for West Ham and likewise for Arsenal. A defensive powerhouse and overall lighthouse for everything we do. Our MoTM Rising Takehiro Tomiyasu Not because of anyone else really, it’s because of his performances. So defensively solid […]
23 games played, 17 victories, 3 stalemates and 3 defeats. 54 precious points on the board, which places The Arsenal at the top of the tree, on course for a special outcome. Astonishing. Not even the staunchest Mikel Arteta fan would have envisaged the Gunners becoming favourites for the title before a ball was kicked, […]
Blimey, 3pm kick off? A 3pm kick off on a Saturday? That timeslot is a definite rare occurrence for the Arsenal. It does feel a while since we were afforded the chance to play football at a time which wasn’t dictated to be played for the convenience of a television network. Especially considering we are […]
I’m still not saying it What was our aim at the start of the season? For me it was to finish in the top 4. I have no doubt that for the club it was very much the same, so let’s examine where we are in relation to that goal. In the table on […]
Arsenal are in the middle of a bruising playing schedule and like most fans I was concerned to see the energy and urgency in the team’s performance drop off at St Mary’s on Sunday. Fortunately, Arteta’s team, despite their first dropped Premier League points since the defeat at Old Trafford, still sit 2 points clear […]
I believe we will finish 4th. There I said it. In truth, I’ll be disappointed if we don’t, unless of course, we leapfrog one or more of the current top 3. A domestic cup success would certainly help to soften the blow too. Arsenal supporters love to bemoan our bad luck but right now, the […]
Welcome to the new feelgood Arsenal! Yes, it has taken but a few short weeks since the awful performance from a winning position at Goodison Park to turn the concerned frowns and looks of bemusement on the faces of the fanbase to a collective perpetual grin. Emphatic wins home wins accompanied by clean sheets over […]
On the 20th December 2021, Mikel Arteta completed two years as manager of Arsenal Football Club and to say he divides opinions amongst the ever opinionated fan base is an understatement. Prior to his appointment, the club went for experience in Unai Emery. A man whose CV suggested that more trophies would be added to […]
