Morning all. It’s Friday, and Mikel Arteta will meet the press later on ahead of our FA Cup tie against Man Utd on Sunday. There’s not a lot happening, to be honest. I don’t think I need to write any more about Arsenal’s need to be better in attack and all that comes with it […]

Since August 1st, 10 of my weekly columns on this site have been about Arsenal’s attack. That doesn’t include a couple of ‘round-up’ type columns where the attack was also written about and my column last week that discussed the possibility of Ethan Nwaneri becoming a striker. It has been a preoccupation for pretty much […]

It’s very cold here in Dublin this morning. You know who I blame? The Carabao Cup ball. Honestly, I know we live in an age where clickbait rules, but some of the stuff around Mikel Arteta’s post-match comments has been dismal to say the least.

Morning all. It’s big night tonight, a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle. I know this is a competition that ranks lowest in terms of priorities for most people, but once you get to this stage – with a final just over the horizon – you have to take it seriously. It’s why, fitness […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at the 1-1 draw with Brighton on Saturday evening. A solid first half saw us go in 1-0 up at the break thanks to Ethan Nwaneri’s excellent goal, but a contentious second half penalty provided […]

Morning all. So, did yesterday’s 2-2 draw between Liverpool and Man Utd leave you more frustrated about our result at Brighton? I can understand if it did, an opportunity missed etc, but I was more relieved than anything else. Especially as I expected very little from United, and they actually played quite well. Given we […]

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video I’m going to break down today’s blog into different sections. It just seems like the best way to go through last night’s 1-1 draw with Brighton. First Half I thought it was a generally solid first half performance from us. With Kai Havertz still unavailable, […]
