PSV at the Emirates - awaited game that was rescheduled. PSV high flying team in the group battle for the top place in Europa league group games. I expected a high scoring game based on their potential. Arteta fielded a different line-up up top. Another 1-nil victory, gives us the claim of the top of the group. Although this was an even matched game. PSV showed up in certain moments. Satisfactory job done by the boys. I pick out my top 3 & 1 players. On to the next. C'mon you gunners!

Arsenal visit St Mary's - memories of the past linger. Points shared with 1-1 draw. Such letdown by the players displaying a flat performance and missing out chances to hand onto a win. Not much excitement in the game by the players. Levels have to raised. A few standout players in my top 3 and surprising other player having a not so great output. It is clearly a feeling of loss - much work to be done. On to the next!

A trip to Elland road did not disappoint with series of unusual events - from power outage, TV coverage loss to temporary match suspension. This game was riddled with bad vibes all around. But what remains is Arsenal's victory against Leeds. Everything else was tactically poor. A scrap to get away with this win. I applaud the few players which I discuss. These wins are just as crucial as the "big" games - especially when this eerie type of game occur. Credit to the resilience of the team, we go again!  

Europa league return leg. Arsenal away at Bodo\Glimt.  The boys held onto a 1-nil victory; certainly not an easy game. Heading into a 14-home game win streak for Bodo/Glimt, we had to work much harder in this game coupled with a series of lucky moments that saved us, the game. My top 3 performers did the most to account for the victory. We learned more about our second team players and do expect more from them. Happy with the win. I hope for better Europa game performance. Up the Arsenal!

Another big showdown in Matchweek 10. Arsenal against Liverpool. You couldn't find the same headline describing this game like the past; and that says something. They came, they saw us, and we conquered them! Riding on high with a 3-2 victory, Arsenal showed a lot resilience and fight. So much to be proud of. Lots of drama and a couple of scary moments. Impossible to watch the game sitting down on a couch or in the stands. Listen to the standout players for this game and that guy. Up the Arsenal - we move on!

After weeks of disruption on Europa league games, Arsenal played at the Emirates against Bodo/Glimt with a comfortable 3-0 win. But not without some series of responses by the Norwegian team. Impressive performances by Vieira, Nketiah and the defensive line. A number of things to work on in a short time around, when we play another Europa game. I talked about another good game with my 3 & 1 nominees. Enjoy this byte-size show and share with your friends!

International break finally over. First game back, NLD! A wonderful performance by Arsenal; winning a 3-1 match against Tottenham. Game of brilliance, confidence and control. Arsenal playing at the Emirates Stadium produced one of the best game yet. While it was not perfect, there's a lot to be proud of. Well deserving top 3 players in the game and sadly, the "other" guy. Listen and enjoy!

Arsenal bounce back in this game against Brentford with a 3-0 victory. Somewhat unsure of what to expect; but the team responded with a great performance. It's only "The Arsenal" when we produce such a brilliant performance and, also make history with a 15yr-old debutant Ethan Nwaneri. I'm sure you would agree on my top 3 candidates for the game. Could you guess who the "other" guy was today? Take a listen.

Start of Europa League. Arsenal faced FC Zurich; 2-1 victory. Some standout performances and mixed bags for others, while clouded with the sad news on Queen Elizabeth II. Perhaps you would agree with my 3 & 1 selections for the game. Enjoy! 

A mixed bag of emotions after our first loss of the season at Old Trafford. Stats and sentiments paint a different picture about the game. Different elements - weird officiating, heavy substitutions and casualty of high press tactics. Overall feeling - we go again! Listen for the standout players and the "other" guy on this episode.
