How is it Friday already? This is what happens when The Arsenal play - and play well - in midweek. The weekend comes around, and you're like, "blimey, that hit us quick, eh?" I guess we're also at the stage in the season where it isn't a grind. The season is still fresh, young, in [...]
I do not want to hear another word from rival fans - City in particular - about how Arsenal 'get all the decisions' or 'have ProRef in their pockets' after what I witnessed yesterday. "ProRef"....ha! If that isn't the most ironic rebrand you've ever seen... That decision by the VAR yesterday was as bad as [...]
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 [...]
