Happy Friday, boys and girls. I hope wherever you are, you enjoy the end of the working week, or if you still have to work tomorrow anyway, you at least get the 'Friday vibes'. Not least because The Arsenal play tomorrow. It's a trip up to the Stadium of Light to play Sunderland, who last [...]
I have to tell you, I am LOVING the hypocrisy of some of the online Chelsea fandom right now, LOVING it I tells ya. 10 months ago we went to Stamford Bridge, and we saw Cucurella go in on Saka time and time again. We saw Fofana leave one or two in on Arsenal players. [...]
Before a ball was kicked yesterday, I went for a walk with The Management, and she asked, "How are you feeling about this one? The usual nerves?" My response was that no, I actually felt fine. I did. It was a strange feeling not to have the butterflies in my stomach as I wrote the [...]
This is a big one today. This is a match that is probably going to be one of the big two or three home games this season. The Scum is a derby, but they are clearly inferior. Liverpool still can't work out what they are yet I don't think, but City and Chelsea feel like [...]
It's the third match week in a row in which we find ourselves NOT playing on a Saturday and, if I'm honest, I don't like it. I enjoy change. I work in marketing and 'doing new stuff' is something I always try to adhere to as a work principle. Not when it comes to football, [...]
I think even before the news broke of the Al Hilal deal for Gabriel Martinelli, we all knew it was going to happen. He hadn't been in the squad for the Community Shield, he'd looked a bit sheepish and reluctant to take part in the dancing and frivolity that day. He hadn't made any squads, [...]
The good thing about us playing on Monday night was that it means we've got less time to wait until the weekend, and easily the biggest of the three games so far this season against Chelsea. Because of that, I'm hopeful that the thnkpieces from journos (and to be fair, bloggers like me) about how [...]
I'm back in Blighty following a week in the sun in Portugal, and yesterday I was making the journey back home whilst all the fun was happening for other teams in the Premier League. It's fair to say that so far, there are a few nice surprises that have popped up, whilst equally there are [...]
The pundits said 3-0. The fans said 3-0. On the Same Old Arsenal, I said 3-0. In yesterday's blog, I reiterated and said 3-0. But all of that is talk. You still have to go out there on the pitch and do it. And yesterday, against the EFL Champions, Arsenal did just that. Back in [...]
Here we go, people! It's matchday! The Champions - that's us, by the way - kick off the Premier League season tonight with a home game against newly promoted Coventry City, and whilst I am looking forward to it, I'm also gutted that I booked a holiday to Portugal, where my plane leaves at 4pm [...]
