Not playing in the Champions League will impact the Gunners summer plans
I hate to put a pin in the balloon, but it sure looks like Arsenal will be playing their European matches next season on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Yes, there is still a little life breathing in our Champions League hopes, however, those hopes are few and far…
Where were the Gunners who were supposedly fighting for a top four finish?
When the match started on Monday, my first reaction was, “have the teams swapped kits?” Right from the opening kick-off it appeared to my eyes that Newcastle United was playing for a spot in the Champions League, not Arsenal. Where were the Gunners who were supposedly fighting for a top…
OPINION: Arsenal shouldn’t be in this position
In my opinion, the Gunners should not be in the position they are currently in. Meaning, they should not have to depend on winning the final two matches of the season to finish 4th in the Premier League? Why do I say this? Here’s why. The Gunners have dropped too many…

Win and you’re in!
Mikel Arteta held his pre-NLD press conference on Wednesday morning and had this to say about facing Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday, and what it means to the club. On the challenge facing him… It’s the most exciting one, probably. But we had others when we played finals against Chelsea and…
2022/2023 is not that far away to start planning
My how things have changed over the past few weeks at the Arsenal Football Club. The Gunners are now on the brink of Champions League football after putting together a 4-game winning streak, plus players like Mo Elneny, Granti Xhaka and Eddie Nketiah have regained the respect and appreciation of…
