Morning all. Let’s have a quick Saturday round-up, because while obviously the focus is tomorrow’s Carabao Cup final, and Mikel Arteta held his press conference yesterday, it’s too soon to preview that game. There’s no point in me weighing in today on the David Raya/Kepa debate, although if you’ve listened the preview podcast on Patreon […]

Morning all. A quick, early blog for you. Later Mikel Arteta will have his Carabao Cup final press conference around lunchtime today, and from there the build-up to Sunday can start in earnest. There are some interesting/tough decisions to be made in terms of his squad selection for Sunday, which we can discuss once we’ve […]

Maybe I shouldn’t be typing these words ahead of Sunday but Arsenal and the League Cup is generally not a happy marriage. The Gunners have only won the trophy twice in their history, most recently 33 years ago. Since Arsenal last hoisted the trophy with three handles, they have won the FA Cup nine times. […]

Morning all. In a season of high stress and no little anxiety, maybe yesterday and today were/are a chance to stop and breathe a bit. I watched some of the Champions League action yesterday, and after doing well in the first leg, Newcastle got absolutely slaughtered by Barcelona who won 7-2 on the night. I […]

Morning. We’re in Champions League action this evening, with the second leg of our Round of 16 tie against Bayer Leverkusen poised at 1-1 after last week’s trip to Germany. In terms of the team news, Jurrien Timber has been ruled out after his withdrawal in the first half against Everton on Saturday, Martin Odegaard […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back on Saturday’s 2-0 win over Everton, beginning with discussion of a first half that saw the visitors come closest to scoring, although Arsenal were denied what was an obvious penalty when Kai Havertz was fouled […]

Morning all. How was your Sunday? Did you watch the replays again? And again? I bet you did. With a game tomorrow, I bet the content team at arsenal.com will be working overtime to get us some ‘Bench Cam – Max Edition’ before the end of the day, but the reality of the week is […]
