\n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n We are all fully aware what we need to do, what\u2019s at stake and what position we are in. That\u2019s our opportunity today. We are facing another strong side, one we know well, so it\u2019s a chance to bounce back and keep going. We want to go all the way to the end and that’s what we’re going to do. <\/p>\n It’s just game by game and about being in the moment and trying to win every time you play. Our mentality is to keep going, because we always knew it was going to be hard right up to the very end. We are working hard, sticking together and looking forward to every game. It’s all to play for and it’s the best part of the season.<\/p>\n We all know what we are playing for and we are all determined and focused. There are a lot of games to be played, and at this time of the year, it’s just about feeling fresh and ready. We know what we’re playing for, so there’s no need to build up that motivation. It’s already there, that’s the easiest thing. You know what you are playing for, so that comes for free. Then after that, it\u2019s just about getting the body and the mind right, keep fighting and be ready for the next game.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve got five games left in the league now and it\u2019s a good situation to be in. With the Champions League as well, there’s an incredible opportunity for us, so we will be giving everything for the remaining six weeks. That’s the situation you want to be in at the end of the season and we are there. We now just make sure we make the most out of every single day and every single game.<\/p>\n \n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n On a personal level it felt good to play 90 minutes at the weekend. I was tired afterwards, because it\u2019s been a while since I played the full game. It’s been a weird season for me with injuries, and I haven’t played as many games as I would have liked, so I was definitely tired after the game. But apart from that, I felt good and the knee was fine. I\u2019ve had a good reaction since then, too, so that’s positive.<\/p>\n Now all the focus is on playing Newcastle today. Whatever their form has been like, we know that they’re a tough team to play and on their day they can beat anyone. They’ve shown that in a lot of games. It’s true that they’re not where they want to be in the table, but it’s still a team full of quality, and it’s always a physical and tough battle against them.<\/p>\n Read the rest of Martin’s notes, as well as a host of other fantastic content, by buying the Arsenal v Newcastle programme either around the stadium or <\/em>online<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n \n Read more<\/span> <\/p>\n Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
