Arsenal fans have been treated to a pretty tremendous start to the season and with the World Cup on the horizon, Gunners fans won’t have to worry about too much disappointment between now and the winter break.

Of course, you never quite know what’s coming around the next corner in this sport, which is why the club has to be vigilant when hosting Brighton & Hove Albion in the League Cup this evening.

The League Cup is back underway for another season and while it may not be seen as the sexiest competition in the world, it still feels like there’s real value in, you know, actively trying to win it.

Arsenal aren’t in the second round as a result of their European commitments but even with that being the case, being able to watch from afar will allow them to gauge what kind of team they want to be putting out once things start to get interesting.  .......Read more here.....

He said it was a war, and we feel like that’s a pretty “on the money” description.

Arsenal made the trip up north to take on Liverpool last night in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final tie.

After the game, Mikel Arteta gave his thoughts on the result.  .......Read more here.....

The controversial postponement of Arsenal’s first leg League Cup semi-final tie has been well documented, and instead of dwelling on it, we want to look ahead to the immediate future.

All football fans have been forced to endure some really unfortunate times over the last few years when it comes to their love and passion for football. Now, two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, it still seems as if there’s a long way to go before we can even hope to get back to something resembling “normality”.

Arsenal, like many others, have seen a parade of postponements and cancellations over the course of the last few years – and the 2021/22 season is no different. At this current moment in time there are a lot of people calling for a circuit-breaker suspension of some kind given that so many fixtures have had to be postponed.  .......Read more here.....

Plenty of fans have been looking at the League Cup as a golden opportunity for Arsenal to try and win a trophy, especially given that they’re just one two-legged semi-final away from reaching the promised land of Wembley.

Alas, the current campaign isn’t going to be quite so simple, as has been the case for months now. COVID-19 is disrupting an awful lot of things and it appears as if the first leg of the aforementioned semi-final is now being thrown into disarray too.

The following statement from Arsenal.com confirms that Liverpool have requested that the game this week be postponed.  .......Read more here.....

It was a potential banana skin that turned out to be a real moment of triumph for Arsenal last night as they tore through West Bromwich Albion with a ruthless and efficient 6-0 win in the Carabao Cup. Many will point to the fact that the Baggies had a weakened side out whereas the likes of Aubameyang and Saka were present for the visitors, but at the same time, you can only beat what’s put in front of you and that’s what they did.

After the game, manager Mikel Arteta spoke to the media about the relevance of the win and what comes next.  .......Read more here.....

Domestic football is well and truly underway as the League Cup prepares to return to our lives this weekend for what should be a fascinating set of fixtures across the country. One of the most notable, and arguably one of the most important, will go down at The Hawthorns when West Bromwich Albion host Arsenal in the second round.

On paper it’s a tie that really shouldn’t be all that close but in reality, this is a huge banana skin for the Gunners to try and overcome.  .......Read more here.....

Another season has been and gone for Arsenal Football Club and while there were a few bright sparks, it was a largely disappointing campaign for Mikel Arteta’s men. Today, we’re going to take a look at the four main competitions the Gunners were in and how they fared.

Premier League

After winning three of their first four games, Arsenal only one won of their next ten and proceeded to destroy all hopes they may have had of finishing in the top four – or even top six. They may have ended the season strongly but when you finish up down in eighth, it really doesn’t matter what you’ve been able to do in a handful of games that don’t really mean much.  .......Read more here.....

Europa League (cont.)

The knockout stages wound up being much more difficult than anyone could’ve anticipated, and when we say difficult, we mean BATE Borisov and Rennes just wouldn’t lie down. They did it a really great job of holding firm and pushing Arsenal all the way, and they deserve to be applauded for that. Then, in the big games against Napoli and Valencia, the Gunners proved once again that they can mix it up with the best of them when called upon. Now, one final showdown with Chelsea awaits – and there’s no reason to believe they can’t get the job done.  .......Read more here.....
