Arsenal's Next Evolution: More Goals, More Dominance

Winning the Premier League should leave Arsenal supporters with nothing but satisfaction. After all, the objective is simple: finish first, and Arsenal have done exactly that. Yet beneath the celebrations lies a statistic that should focus minds at the Emirates. Arsenal have become champions while recording one of the lowest goal totals by a title-winning side in the modern Premier League era.
The World Cup is B*llocks

When I was a tiny little chap, the World Cup was just about the most exciting thing that could happen, a truly seismic event, on a par with perhaps a new Star Wars film, or the space shuttle blowing up. You looked forward to it for weeks, months even. You had an enormous ‘World Cup Wall Chart’, and perhaps a Panini sticker album, full of obscure players with enormous moustaches that you had never heard of before. You would marvel at the strange and exotic names (‘Ha ha, look! Russia have got a bloke called ‘RATS’!) You knew exactly who was in England’s group, who England would be losing to in their first game, and you probably had very strong ideas about who was in the England squad. You certainly knew who wasinEngland’s squad.
Arsenal: Back on Top

For Arsenal supporters, the wait has always been as much about identity as it has been about silverware. Twenty two long years have passed since the Invincibles etched their names into footballing folklore in 2003/04, going unbeaten and redefining excellence in English football. Since then, a generation of fans has grown up without witnessing their club lift the Premier League trophy, until now.
ArtetaBall 5.0: Qui audet adipiscitur

The two games against Manchester City demonstrated that a well-coached side playing Circulation Football beat a poorly coached Arsenal playing Crab Football.
Let’s Have A Meltdown, Man City Are Good At Football

That’s it. Shut it down. Fold the club. Cancel the rest of the fixtures. Manchester City have won some football matches again, and as everyone knows, Arsenal are legally required to fall apart the moment this happens. We had a good go, lads.
Arsenal v City: Destiny or Danger?

The stage is set. On Sunday 22 March 2026 at 4:30pm GMT, Arsenal and Manchester City meet at Wembley for the Carabao Cup Final in what promises to be one of the most compelling domestic showpieces in years. Will it signal a changing guard or more of the same?
FOOTBALL IS BORING

There I’ve said it. I am bored of football. Lots of people find football boring, to be fair. But in my experience, these people have always found it boring. They like gardening, or horse racing. Or even rugby (sigh). We have all met someone, or in my case married one, who says ‘Well it’s just some men running round trying to kick a ball into a net, isn’t it’. I was always aghast at this idea. Until recently, that is, when I have felt myself susceptible to the creeping realisation that these people might have a point.
Arteta - Time To Deliver

Dubbed one of the world’s best managers in the modern game, managing one of the best teams in world football — but when you watch Arsenal, do they really look like it? Perhaps it is a bizarre thing to say for a team four points clear at the top of the Premier League, and not only top but unbeaten in the Champions League group stage while facing strong opposition, most notably a 3–1 dismantling of last season’s Champions League runners-up last week.
Ratings v Nottingham Forest

It was all there for us, an opportunity to go 9 points above City and Villa. A frustrating performance where we had enough opportunities to take the 3 points.
Two Fatal Phases in ArtetaBall

This was written a few weeks ago and has been updated to show our recent form. We had umpteen clean sheets, ten goals from set-pieces and consecutive wins until Sunderland, Villa and Chelsea put a spoke in our wheel. What stopped our winning momentum?
