There was a moment in the Europa League when Arsenal seemed indestructible. Both their wins in the semi-finals, against Valencia, were a dominating show of power and a reminder that the team is amongst the best in the world. Then the inevitable happened, and we let it all go against Chelsea in the final match, […]
We were all at JustArsenal very sure that Unai Emery would put out his very best team for the most important game of the season, so this is the starting XI that we predicted earlier…. Cech Monreal Sokratis Koscielny Maitland-Niles Kolasinac Xhaka Torreira Ozil Lacazette Aubameyang And this is the team that Emery has confirmed […]
Arsenal’s old Captain Fab, Cesc Fabregas, may be playing in Monaco right now, but although he is a bit of a legend at Arsenal after becoming our youngest captain ever, he is actually in line for a Winners Medal if Chelsea beat the Gunners tonight after playing five times in the early stages of the […]
So, other than the fact that Henrik Mhkitaryan refuses to play in Azerbailan, the second most talked about issue is whether Petr Cech should start for Arsenal against his old club Chelsea, despite agreeing to return to Stamford Bridge when he retires after this game. The Gunners manager Unai Emery confirmed that tonight would be […]
Just a few hours to go now before the all English Europa League final between Arsenal and Chelsea in Baku, Azerbaijan. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the game but now is the time to put all that to bed and concentrate on the football. One of the benefits of winning the Europa […]
The Arsenal defence has been much maligned this season and rightfully so, their end of season performances was dire stuff but it is unfair to only concentrate on the bad times and to ignore the occasions when they have done themselves and us proud. I can easily go through the games when we conceded three […]
Mkhitaryan being forced not to travel to Baku has been compounded by the injury to Ramsey, meaning the gunners lack goals from midfield. I’m expecting Unai Emery to start 5 at the back with two DM’S, effectively trusting the front 3 to win us the game. We already know Ozil is not the most consistent. […]
Chelsea will be seriously difficult opponents to beat on Wednesday evening, they finished above Arsenal in the league, they have a team full of top-class players and while we did beat them at the Emirates, they beat us at Stamford Bridge. The Blues are not opponents we can underestimate or be complacent about. If Arsenal […]
There has been a lot of talk about the Chelsea players Arsenal have to be aware of and rightfully so but it is not a one way street, we have a whole host of players that will be striking fear right into the heart of Chelsea from their manager down to the players on the […]
Tomorrow Arsenal and Chelsea finally go head to head for the Europa League trophy in what promises to be an entertaining and enthralling match. Chelsea have nothing to play for apart from glory and another piece of silverware to stick into their cabinet but that is not the case for us, we need to win […]
Once the Europa League final is over with and hopefully Arsenal have lifted the trophy there will be a lot in hindsight that was obvious before the game and for me, there is one huge reason why I believe Arsenal will win on Wednesday evening in Baku. The one big reason is simple, Arsenal will […]
Arsenal will face off against Chelsea Wednesday evening in Baku, Azerbaijan, as they seek their first European success since 1994 and they have officially named the players that they hope will bring the Europa League trophy back to North London. The squad will be reduced to 23 men about 75 minutes before kick off so […]
There is very little separating Arsenal and Chelsea, there was just a couple of points between the pair in the Premier League and both teams have one win apiece from the two league games they played against each other. Both teams will be missing key players, we will not have Aaron Ramsey, Hector Bellerin or […]
If there is one thing that no team wants it is for your opponents to be given a healthy dose of motivation days before a cup final and that is exactly what has happened to poor Chelsea. The appalling treatment of Henrikh Mkhitaryan has given his teammates a huge incentive to win the Europa League, […]
