Morning. Perception is an odd thing. Stuff was being discussed in the Arses yesterday, which is obviously the point of a comment section, and the idea that Arsenal as an attacking team haven’t really, properly clicked this season came up. It’s one I tend to agree with, to be honest. When you look at the […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back on Sunday’s 2-1 win over Chelsea. We discuss this Arsenal side’s prowess from set-pieces, and while it might not be to everyone’s taste, it shouldn’t be dismissed so easily – especially as it helped us […]

Morning. After a rare midweek off, we’re back in action this afternoon as we face Chelsea at home. Team news from the manager’s press conference was vague, so we’ll have to wait and see who is available later.

Morning, let’s do a quick Saturday round-up. The obvious place to start is the Champions League draw which took place yesterday, and we’re going to face Bayer Leverkusen. Perhaps the most interesting part of it all is the side of the draw we’re on, avoiding many of the so-called ‘big’ teams, at least until the […]

Morning all. After a quiet week, things will start to build up again today as Mikel Arteta meets the press ahead of our game against Chelsea on Sunday. I don’t quite know what injury news we’re looking for updates on, perhaps Bukayo Saka who went off late in the North London derby, but apart from […]

League titles and big trophies are largely won by tangible elements. Talent, organisation, depth, tactics, player management. Without those aspects in full working order you cannot demonstrate the consistency needed to win a title. But titles are often decided by such small margins that intangibles undoubtedly come into play as well. ‘Bottle’, while overused to […]

Which is, essentially, about the word count of your typical novel (using around 80,000 words as a […]
