Team news At this point in time there’s not much to dissect in terms of team news. We didn’t sustain any fresh injures against Chelsea. Our only absentee will be Mathieu Debuchy, who has a bit of hamstring problem, poor fella. On the upside, Arteta and Oxlade may return soon if not for our visit […]

Arsenal are missing the one ‘Special’ Player but who is this exciting Summer Addition? Bale, Reus, Costa,Dybala or Fekir?
Category A game – CFC at home – Big boy football. Cannot help but feel underwhelmed this week but playing big games get you thinking or at least it should do. Now I’ve had time to think a 0-0 at home vs. the new Champions and not doing a MUFC at home (play well […]

Have Arsenal taken a big step forward or have City and Liverpool just taken a step backwards?
Chelsea I was expecting us to beat Chelsea at home. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t.
