Saturday. 3.00 p.m. kick-off. Home game. It feels wrong.
I have read and heard that Swansea are our bogey team but , didn't we beat them last season with just 10 men? Yes, I know we lost a couple at home and got beaten in Swansea in 2016, but we beat them 0-4 in Wales. Why not today?
Swansea's form is wretched at the moment, ours is variable but on an upswing swing (hopefully).
Tonight sees the first of the Euro 2016 quarter-finals and there is just one Arsenal player who could be involved, although Sky Sports are reporting that this is unlikely as Wojciech Szvzesny is still not fully fit after picking up a thigh injury in training after the first group game. You have to feel sorry [.
It seems strange to think that Swansea did the impossible last season by winning both fixtures against Arsenal, but the fact is that they have been a bit of a bogey team for the Gunners ever since they first won promotion in 2011.

There are not a lot of happy Arsenal fans around after watching Swansea stage a smash-and-grab raid on Monday, especially as it was our old reserve keeper Lukasz Fabianski making our strikers look like schoolboys in a Man-Of-the-Match performance. But at least one Arsenal player, Jack Wilshere, was happy for the Polish shot-stopper.
Swansea came to the Emirates last night with the obvious idea of trying to emulate Chelsea by flooding the midfield and defence to try and stop Arsenal scoring. Like Chelsea they succeeded, but also exceeded the performance of the Champions by scoring the winner through Bafetimbi Gomis five minutes from the end.
Arsene Wenger has a tradition of playing his reserve keeper in the FA Cup and even stuck with Lukasz Fabianski in the Final last year after he heroically saved Arsenal in the semifinal penalty shootout. Now Szczesny may get his chance to play in a Cup Final if he does a good job in tomorrow's [...]

There is little doubt that Wojciech Szczesny, the Poland international who seriously tests your spelling skills, had his best year in an Arsenal shirt last season. He was unlucky not feature in the FA cup triumph at Wembley, after Arsene Wenger had handed the domestic cup duties to Lukasz Fabianski, but there was no doubt [.
Not too many Arsenal fans will have been any more than vaguely aware of the Mexico international Gullermo Ochoa before yesterday. But the 28-year old keeper is the darling of the World Cup media today after producing a string of fine saves to deny the Samba boys of Brazil. His early stop to deny the [.

It is usually Arsenal that are caught scratching their heads and considering whether they should complete a transfer, when another club swoops in and signs the player from under their noses, a la Gonzalo Higuain, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard. But it seems that the swooping might be done by the Gunners this time, with [.
I am not sure what to make of this one, Arsenal fans. I am tempted to file it under, not a snowball's chance in hell, but seeing as the Gunners are on the up and in need of a keeper to replace the departing Polish stopper Lukasz Fabianski, I will keep an open mind. Metro [...]

Although this is the second time that Arsene Wenger has confirmed he is staying at Arsenal, most pundits refuse to accept the fact until he actually signs the contract that has been offered by the Board. Most of us assume that he will put pen to paper after the Gunners have won the FA Cup [...]

This summer it seems that Arsene Wenger will be having to do lots of Arsenal transfer dealings, before he even thinks about strengthening the team. Last summer wenger managed to dispose of some deadwoods, but as hardly any of them were replaced the Gunners were left with a much-reduced playing squad.
After Lukasz Fabianski's heroics in Arsenal's penalty shoot out against Wigan, surely he should be a shoe-in to carry on his run of playing in every FA Cup match this season, but now it seems that Wojciech Szczesny is also hoping that he can get the nod to play in the prestigious final against Hull [.
