League titles and big trophies are largely won by tangible elements. Talent, organisation, depth, tactics, player management. Without those aspects in full working order you cannot demonstrate the consistency needed to win a title. But titles are often decided by such small margins that intangibles undoubtedly come into play as well. ‘Bottle’, while overused to […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Tim Stillman for a statements style episode. We take statements from our Patreon members that he has to either Strongly agree, Agree, Disagree, or Strongly Disagree with. Topics covered today include the reaction to the North London derby […]

Morning. Thanks to Andrew A for filling in yesterday, for the 83rd time apparently. Assuming each post is has between 800 and 1000 words (generally that’s the case), that’s somewhere between 66400 and 83000 words on this website. Which is, essentially, about the word count of your typical novel (using around 80,000 words as a […]

Morning all, Andrew M is out of action today, so I’m on cover duty for the morning…the 83rd time you’ve had to put up with me on the main blog in the last 10 years, I just checked. There’s not a whole lot happening on the Arsenal front. After a couple of days off, the […]

Morning all. Hopefully you’re still enjoying the warm glow of Sunday’s game. I can’t lie, and I know everyone’s feeling on this particular fixture is different, but it’s one I never look forward to – despite our vastly superior record in it. Which is a bit mad, because I’m not Tottenham adjacent like many of […]

“It feels like we’ve shown what we are made of but then you have to show it again and again and again.” North London is red and Arsenal didn’t just win but responded to the biggest setback of the season with one of the best performances of the campaign at Tottenham on Sunday. Almost exactly […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we’re looking back on, and enjoying, a second 4-1 North London derby win of the season. We chat about Arsenal’s early dominance, and the nonsensical nature of the early stoppage in the game which, thankfully, didn’t halt our […]

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal got back to winning ways, and plunged Sp*rs further into the relegation mire, after a 4-1 win at White Hart Lane yesterday. Mikel Arteta made a couple of changes to the side that played in midweek, with Eberechi Eze starting in midfield, and Leandro […]

Just win. That’s basically the only thought in my head this morning. After Man City closed the gap to two points with their win over Newcastle, Arsenal must respond. After the performance and result against Wolves on Wednesday, Arsenal must respond. Mikel Arteta says: There is not another thing that we have to do – […]
