#CHEARS Just over 3 weeks ago, Arsenal faced Chelsea in what was an evenly matched game. My prediction on the day proved right. Not just the result, but in the manner it came about. A close fought game ending in a heartbreaking loss. Of course, VAR or whoever Riley appointed…
English Premier League
For second week in a row and God knows how many times this season, VAR took center stage in a Premier League game and Arsenal fans once again found themselves at the wrong end as they saw their team drop 2 points in a game which should have been sealed…
#ARSSHU Three months ago, Arsenal was in 3rd, ready to take on Sheffield United. We ended up losing that game. Today Arsenal are in 10th and Sheffield are 4 points and 4 places ahead of us. We also have injury problems. And yet, I feel more confident about the game…
Courtesy: Getty Images So in the most recent podcast by yours truly and Blackburn George, we made the somewhat radical suggestion that for the rest of this year Arteta and Arsenal should forget about top-4/top-6 in the league and focus on the cups. By the way, winning the Europa League…

As Omi has expressed publicly on twitter, this has affected him greatly. Understandably he was unable to make his usual post-match contribution….
It took 18-months for Unai Emery, Raul Sanllehi and company to drag Arsenal down into midtable, far quicker than I could have imagined, and in my opinion it will take as much time, if not longer, to rebuild the Gunners and make us into a top-top team again. As of…
#ARSCHE Almost everyone realizes that Mikel Arteta’s reign is a marathon. But for Mikel himself it starts like a sprint. 3 days after his first ever game in charge, it’s get up and go again. This time it’s the post-Christmas blues of Chelsea. Hopefully, the boys in red and white…
