We're back again for a match day and it's a tricky one in the shape of Simeone's Atletico Madrid who come to town looking to spoil our party and recent form by picking up three points in this horrible large-league format. Arteta knows that a win today would be a big one and with 15/16 [...]

Sometimes football can feel like a slog. Like some kind of grind. Something you just have to endure. Sometimes it feels like it goes on forever. "This game feels like it's been going on for four hours" The Management said to me on around 84 minutes. Arsenal had huffed and puffed their way through a [...]

How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]

Avoiding the Interlull: Talking about stadium seats

By |2025-10-09T07:45:05+01:00October 9th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, finances, gooners, Gunners, History|2 Comments

I was too focused yesterday on what I wanted from the international break from an Arsenal perspective, that I didn't even talk about the stadium expansion that's been talked about for the last couple days, so as I try desperately to fill my thoughts and this blog on Arsenal stuff so I can avoid talking [...]

Solving the low block problem: Why Arsenal need to be quicker against West Ham

Matchday Saturday, a 3pm kick-off, a game in which you'd normally be expecting Arsenal to pick up all three points against a struggling West Ham side and yet, here we all are, a little nervous about history repeating itself. Mikel was asked yesterday what he felt about the fact that Arsenal had lost 50% of [...]

A look at West Ham fan view, probabilities and the likelihood of lightning striking thrice

Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]

Odegaard pulls the strings in Olympiacos win

In the cold light of the next day, last night's 2-0 win against Olympiacos felt like a routine Champions League three-pointer against an opponent from a - with all due respect - inferior league, that shouldn't really warrant too much thinking about. Indeed, Arsenal dominated the first half and probably should have put the game [...]

The familiar foe, but an unknown quantity: Olympiacos

It's match day two of the Champions League tonight and after Liverpool dropped points to Galatasaray and the Scum also dropped points to The WIFI password, it should serve as a telling reminder that just because we are in the Best League in the World (refereeing body aside), doesn't mean we have any God-given right to [...]
