It's Friday, it's the start of the weekend (nearly), and it's West Ham on Sunday, knowing that by the time we kick off, we'll know if Brentford have gotten anything from Man City for the 5.30 pm kick off (they won't). So, what of West Ham then, eh? Well, there are plenty of Arsenal fans [...]

There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone's life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation - loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the [...]

How much will Arteta rotate against Atletico Madrid?

I’ll be honest, I had ‘hopes’ that Everton could get something at home to 115 Charges FC, but I don’t think there was much expectation there. City were on a good run of form, they’ve wine their last three Premier League games, as well as beating us in the League Cup and getting to the [...]

Big Vik and Saka inspire Fulham win

Ahh man, I have a stinking hangover this morning, all caused by The Arsenal. I'm in Portugal and, to try to completely forget about the stress of football, I asked the parents and The Management if we could go out and have a lovely lunchtime meal in Tavira, where my parents' place is. They obliged. [...]

Fulham at home: Don’t let this be ‘one of those days’

As is our situation right now, you, like I, no doubt, have a very nervous feeling in the stomach. We've been living this way for months, truth be told, so whilst this feeling of dread ahead of every Arsenal game is not new, it doesn't get any easier. I read comments like "Fulham have never [...]

Atlético Madrid preview: Calm before the storm or calm because of It?

I almost feel guilty for what I am about to write. I don't really feel massively nervous about tonight. It almost feels like a League Cup game. I suspect it is because I've been battered and bruised by the Premier League campaign that the Premier League is the 'one I want' the most, coupled with [...]

Fixture politics and fragile fitness

It seems there's a bit of a fixture argument going on with Man City. Well, not so much an argument, but rather a 'discussion', if the reports are to be believed, for which City wants to play Bournemouth in their rearranged fixture slot before Palace. I didn't really understand the significance of that until I [...]

Eze does it as Arsenal labour against Newcastle

I would be lying if I said to you that I enjoyed that game yesterday. In fact, I don't think there is a Gooner on this planet who would have felt that satisfying. And yet, earlier in the season, when we beat Palace 1-0 with Eze scoring the winner in a tightly contested game, my [...]

The biggest game in two decades for The Arsenal?

I haven't slept well at all this week. Some of it, admittedly, is related to stuff happening at my work, but more of it is related to what happens this afternoon. This could be the biggest game for Arsenal football club in over two decades. In 2022/23, we had to go to the City and [...]

First goal wins? The numbers don’t look great for Arsenal on Sunday…

I've sort of talked about it, we've all been thinking about it, and this game has been living 'rent-free' in my head for some time now. Certainly, since last weekend. But now, we have to really focus on it. So I suppose I have to start properly talking about it. Today the managers will give [...]
