#ARSNOR Two away losses, and two away wins, and now we’re back to play our first home game since the restart. I’m looking forward to the Fifa20 crowd chants. ‘Mike Dean is a wanker’ better be on the playlist. The referee is Peter Bankes but that doesn’t matter, except it…

Emi Martinez, Arsenal’s Man-of-the-match? This season has truly been forgettable. Boring football, a manager sacking, getting thumped out of Europe at the hands of a team you should be dispatching with your B team, more boring football, more embarrassing defeats, you name it. But after our journey to Sheffield, hope…
#SHUARS This season has felt like a bit of a write-off for some time now, so it is almost unbelievable to think that Arsenal could end it with a trophy. But this is precisely what Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, would be hoping to achieve. There’s the small matter of the…
Eddie Nketiah takes advantage of a Southampton bogey to score. Arsenal faced Southampton under a blazing hot sun but started the match cold. They were initially nervous on the ball and unable to maintain possession. Fortunately, this lasted only about 5 minutes. For virtually the entire match after, the players…

David Luiz’s 26 minutes of madness culminated in a red card. When football season came to a halt due to COVID-19 outbreak, a selfish part in me rather hoped that this season be called null and void. Let’s be honest, with Arsenal on track for their worst season in…
#MCIARS at 15:15, Wednesday, June 17, 2020 It’s been more than 3 months since Arsenal last played. For a while it looked like the season would need to end prematurely. But thankfully, it seems the effects of the virus have not been as bad as earlier feared. Not enough anyway…
The coronavirus has brought normal life to a standstill and football is not a priority at the moment. Rightly so. Things may be bad, but we’re surely going to get through this pandemic and football will return at some point in some shape and form. Currently, even transfer rumours aren’t…
If you follow Arsenal via NewsNow, as I often do, you would get the impression it is business as usual in the Premier League and at Arsenal in particular. Despite the raging coronavirus pandemic now taking lives and civil liberties worldwide, almost every article is the usual transfer porn deliberately…
