Photo by David Price/Arsenal FC via It’s been a dreadful January on the pitch. I’m not sure if Thursday was a continuation of a troubling pattern or an actual repeat of a match I’ve already seen this season. Arsenal controls the start of the match, concedes a goal against the run of play, receives a red card, and proceeds to lose the match. It’s been a bad January, from what could have been a terrific month. Perhaps if things go differently Arsenal beat Manchester City, advance in the FA Cup, and make it to the League Cup Final. You would imagine Mikel Arteta...

Photo by David Price/Arsenal FC via The away North London Derby (potentially). Once again Arsenal responded after what seems like an endless supply of hurdles this season. After rescheduling for Liverpool the match was quickly upended with Granit Xhaka was shown a red card midway through the first half. From there Mikel Arteta consolidated his defense which put on a clinic to hold Liverpool at Anfield. Now with AFCON absences, injuries, COVID cases, and a red card, Arsenal faces the North London Derby on just two days rest. Tottenham enters the match on the back of...

Former captain and 92-goal scorer Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been pushed out of the team and is linked with a move away from the Emirates this month. Alexandre Lacazette’s contract runs out in June and several clubs across Europe are circling for the free transfer. Eddie Nketiah has always been down the depth chart behind those two and knows the best move for his future is away from North London....

Photo by David Price/Arsenal FC via Welcome back to the Gunners trophy. After walking away from the clash with Manchester City without points, Arsenal and its supporters were eager to move on through the League Cup semi-final. Then that was canceled just a day before the match, leaving the Gunners with a Liverpool-Tottenham-Liverpool trio of matches in short order. But first, it’s one of English football’s best weekends. The FA Cup Third Round. Arsenal have had extra rest & now Gabriel misses this tie against Nottingham Forest rather than Liverpool. While it’s...

Photo by Ryan Pierse/ Between COVID-19 and AFCON how will this League Cup tie play out? After coming away with no points despite controlling much of the opening hour against the current league leaders, the feeling around Arsenal remains positive. The club continues to sit in 4th place but pauses league action with a trio of Cup matches coming up. And we have the January transfer market beginning to spin with Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Sead Kolasinac both rumored to be moving away. The Gunners will be without their share of players. Four are off to the African Cup of...

Photo by Robin Jones/ Fire up the winter transfer window machine. The arrival of January brings the new year and the official start of the mid-season transfer business. The past few windows have been quite active for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta and Edu refresh the squad. With several senior players rumored to be leaving or on expiring contracts we expect a busy summer, but might the Gunners dip into the market this month if the right price and opportunity present itself? Duncan Castles from The Transfer Window podcast recently stated that Arsenal are monitoring Tariq...
