Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has had a mixed start to his Arsenal career. Much was expected of the Gabonese international, who joined in a £56 million move from Borussia Dortmund in January with a reputation as one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga. A return of three goals does not necessarily indicate a bad opening six […]

The only way for Arsenal to justify their embarrassing performance in Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Ostersunds FK, was to deliver a competitive display in Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final. Instead, strikes from Sergio Aguero, Vincent Kompany and David Silva saw opponents Manchester City win that game 3-0. The encounter, which became one-sided in the second half, […]
The League Cup Final holds this Sunday at Wembley with two clubs looking to get the better of the other. Manchester City and Arsenal face off in a repeat of last season’s FA Cup semi-final, but this time a trophy is the reward for victory. City are favourites for this clash, but Arsenal have a fantastic record […]
Arsenal welcome Swedish outfit, Ostersunds FK to the Emirates Stadium tonight in the second leg of their Round of 32 Europa League clash. The Gunners are looking to protect a 3-0 lead from the first leg in Sweden and progress to the next round of the competition. A number of first team players will be rested for […]

The utility man was exceptional in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea, […]

The two men have started just one Premier League game together since May 2015 and there are question marks about whether Arsene Wenger believes they can be effective whilst on the pitch at the same time. […]
We may be down to just Per Mertesacker at the back but I don’t see the problem.
The new season is upon us. Are we ready?
Our victory over Wolves was arguably the most straightforward game this season. It’s rare that a game of football is over after 11 minutes, but that was exactly the case after two goals and red card to Sebastien Bassong ended the contest. Robin van Persie’s penalty kick was impudent and arrogant — something deep down […]
I had a lot of fun watching last night’s win over Udinese. We scored early, absorbed a lot of pressure, defended like lions hyenas and somehow managed to come away with a 1-0 victory. It was a similar story to the Newcastle game: we looked relatively harmless going forward and most of the good work […]
