Arsenal’s defeat of Leeds in match-week 29 came as no surprise to me and Blackburn George, but, in our opinion, Liverpool at Anfield will be a far more difficult proposition. Victory for the Gunners is vital at a place where Arsenal hasn’t won in 11 years. As it did…
Leeds
Arsenal hung on for a 1-nil victory away at Leeds in a nail-biting encounter. After dominating in the 1st half, Arsenal was mostly on the back-foot in the 2nd, surviving a missed penalty and being rescued by VAR in the final minutes as another penalty call was justly over-ruled….
#ARSLEE match preview by @ShardGooner The only place to start this preview has to be with the big news of the manager’s contract extension. It’s no secret, am not Mikel Arteta’s biggest fan. I have issues with his personality, actions and his management. But I don’t really have a problem…

LEEARS preview by Shard It’s been a long two weeks since we last played and a lot has happened. Saka’s performances with England garnered great reviews, Eddie Nketiah again did well with the England U21s and surely must be pushing for a place in the senior team. He could be…
Goalscorer Reiss-Nelson Despite a valiant effort by Championship club Leeds, they were unable to upset Arsenal in last night’s FA cup encounter. The home team scored their winning goal 10 minutes into the second-half, demonstrating their newly found resolve and commitment that seemed completely lost six-weeks ago under their prior…
