Morning all. It’s a big one today, with the visit of Man City to the Emirates. Liverpool won again yesterday, although in reality that doesn’t change much about what we need to do – whatever happened in their game, we have to get three points from this one. In terms of today’s team, I’m going […]

Morning all. We have a huge game this weekend, but discussion of that can wait until tomorrow. There wasn’t much in Mikel Arteta’s press conference to get our teeth into either, it was all very dry. Especially when it comes to transfers. Inevitably asked about potential arrivals, the manager said: I’m very confident with the […]

Morning all. We might as well start Friday with a good laugh. As I’m sure you’ve seen already, Arsenal have been charged with improper conduct by The FA after the players confronted referee Michael Oliver following the red card issued to Myles Lewis-Skelly during the 1-0 win over Wolves. They say: “Arsenal FC has been […]

‘We all have our reasons for loving things the way that we do.’ A line uttered by Colin Firth in the cinematic adaptation of Nick Hornby’s ‘Fever Pitch.’ The line, narrated by the character Paul Hayward, portrayed by Firth, refers more generally to the milieu of football itself. I think the same sentiment applies for […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Andrew Allen to discuss Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Girona in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. We discuss an up and down debut in goal for Neto and worry a little about David Raya, before turning our attention […]

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal finished the Champions League group stage in third place after a 2-1 win over Girona last night. I don’t think it’s a game that requires a great deal of analysis, because we were there to do a job ahead of a big game on […]

Morning all. We’re in Champions League action this evening, taking on Girona away in the final fixture of this new, elongated group campaign. Our qualification for the knock-out stages, without having to play another round, is more or less assured, so I half expect the manager to rotate his squad a bit for this one. […]

Morning all. There was no official word yesterday about whether Arsenal have appealed, or will appeal, Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card, but I expect that to happen. It’s an unacceptable decision, I think we can produce a mountain of evidence, from our games and others across the Premier League, that would be sufficient to see the […]

Good morning folks, wherever you are, I hope you’re well at the start of this new week. The fallout from the Myles Lewis-Skelly red card rumbles on, and I think it’s important to say first and foremost that it shouldn’t. At this point, PMGOL could easily have said ‘Michael Oliver and VAR made a mistake, […]
