Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Quotes round-up Let me preface this blog by acknowledging that we extended our lead over Man City at the top of the Premier League yesterday, and that’s a good thing. The issue, of course, is that we didn’t extend it as much as we could have, […]

Morning all. After our midweek exploits, it’s another away trip today, this time to the City Ground to face Nottingham Forest. On paper, this is one of those games where people might look at the Premier League table, see that it’s 1st against 17th, and think it should be routine. It doesn’t really work that […]

Morning all, happy Friday to you. There’s an early Mikel Arteta press conference ahead of our game against Nottingham Forest tomorrow evening. At this point the games come with such frequency, so close together, it’s hard to think what he might be asked this morning that he didn’t more less cover after the win against […]

I listened with great interest to the half-season data review on the Arsenal Vision Patreon this week (£). There was a very good section on the Arsenal attack and the data tells you what your eyes tell you. Defensively / out of possession, Arsenal are the best team in the league and probably the world. […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Phil Costa to look back on Wednesday’s 3-2 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge. We chat about the early goal which silenced some noisy home fans, and a relatively even first […]

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal took a solid step towards the Carabao Cup final with a 3-2 win at Chelsea last night. I don’t think the scoreline really tells the full story, and in truth, we should probably have put this game to bed with some of the second […]

Morning all. It’s a Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Stamford Bridge this evening, and while Mikel Arteta has plenty of options in midfield and up front, at the back we’re more or less down to bare bones. William Saliba is a doubt, according to the manager, having missed out on the FA Cup win […]

Morning. The draw for the 4th round of the FA Cup took place last night, and our reward for beating Portsmouth is a home tie against Wigan Athletic. The last time we played them was in this very competition, in April 2014 when we were within 10 minutes or so of going out, a defeat […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at Sunday’s 4-1 FA Cup win over Portsmouth. We discuss the 10 changes Mikel Arteta made to his side, and whether that contributed to an iffy start for the Gunners, before we focus on Gabriel […]
