Greetings Gooners! And Gong Xi Fa Cai, as we welcome the year of the Horse. Yee Haw! Hope Arsenal will gallop to the EPL trophy in May. Huat ah!
It was a topsy turvy performance from the team last week.
Frustrating game at Gtech: Brentford 1-1 Arsenal
Arsenal escaped with a point in a game of two halves. After a cagey opening, Noni Madueke broke the deadlock in the 61st minute with a superb looping header. However, the “Bees” lived up to their resilient reputation, equalizing through Keane Lewis-Potter just ten minutes later. While dropping points felt frustrating, results elsewhere meant that this draw moved us four points clear at the top of the table.
Satisfying FA Cup advance: Arsenal 4-0 Wigan
Mikel Arteta’s men showed no mercy in the FA Cup fourth round, putting the game to bed before the half-hour mark. It was a “fast and furious” display that saw the Gunners net four goals in just 27 minutes. Madueke continued his scoring streak at the 10th minute. Gabriel Martinelli slammed home a second on the 17th. An own goal from Wigan’s Jack Hunt on the 22nd and Gabriel Jesus dinked a fourth over the keeper on the 26th. This clinical performance marks the first time since 2020 that Arsenal has reached the fifth round, the same year we last lifted the trophy. We play League One, Mansfield Town next in March 2026.
Wolves vs Arsenal (Premier League) – No Live Screening
Date: Thursday, 19th February 2026, Kick-off: 4.00 AM
No live screening
Wolves are currently battling at the bottom of the table, but Molineux is never an easy place to visit. Arsenal has a historic 82% win rate on the road against Wolves, but with several players unavailable, squad depth will be tested. Expect a heavy rotation to keep legs fresh for the big weekend game.
Spurs vs Arsenal (Premier League) – No Live Screening
Date: Monday, 23rd February 2026, Kick-off: 12.30 AM
No live screening
This is the big one. Spurs have been inconsistent lately (even parting ways with manager Thomas Frank recently) but form usually goes out the window for a North London derby. Arsenal will look to exploit a Spurs defense that has been leaky, but the atmosphere at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be hostile. Who is Igor Tudor??
With 6 points on the table over the next few days, what is the likelihood of a maximum haul? Hmmm… That’s all from me.
