Morning all. It’s EFL Cup action tonight as we face Crystal Palace at home, and it’s a game where you would expect Mikel Arteta to make some changes. It’s more complicated at the back, where we just don’t really have the numbers because of all the injuries, but potentially we could use Christian Norgaard there, […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at Saturday’s 1-0 win away to Everton, having experienced the game in different ways. One viewing was much less anxious than the other, so how does that translate into analysis of the performance? We chat […]

Morning all. Can I just say I’m tired of the ‘Ooooh, the team that is top at Christmas never goes on to win the league’ stuff? Give it a rest Football Scrooge. Nobody cares. It’s not even scientific. We can all see it for the rage bait it is. If you’re not top at Christmas, […]

Morning all. It’s another late Saturday kick-off as we travel to Everton looking for a repeat of last week’s victory over Wolves, but hopefully achieved with an improved performance. We’ll have to be better to take all three points, no question, and our last three away games have brought only 2 points, so there’s room […]

Morning. We’ll wait to hear from Mikel Arteta this morning about injury updates before making any comment on a story that suggests Kai Havertz’s return will be a little later than expected. From what we had heard, he was looking at the game post-Christmas, but before new year, to make his comeback, but now it […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Kaya Kaynak to discuss a wide range of topics, starting with the EFL Cup draw and the potential of a two-legged semi-final against Chelsea if we win our quarter-final against Crystal Palace. How seriously should Arsenal take this […]

A few years ago I read an article about why young people are drinking less alcohol than previous generations. These things are always multi-factorial but one of the key theories the piece addressed was ‘the fear of being perceived.’ In an increasingly digitised world where young people film one another as a matter of course […]

Morning all. Sorry the blog is a bit later than usual but I was out with James in Dublin last night. He’s here on a top secret mission, so when he had a small break from that, we had a couple of drinks and some food. I wish I could tell you all what this […]
