I've lived in fear of one thing since the start of the season: Having to be a recipient of that utterly tragic and awful "you're getting mauled by the Tigers" chant that the Hull City fans busted out against United and do on a regular basis when they are ahead. It's so cringey, it must [...]
What a fascinating game that was last night. Fascinating because Arsenal had control for pretty much the entire game, let their opponents in a bit more in the second half, took the foot off the gas a bit, then found themselves with a nervy few minutes after Slavia Prague scored late, giving their players and [...]
It's kind of wild to me the reaction from Liverpool fans to the result on Sunday. Yes, by all means be mad at the VAR and the general ineptitude from re-branded PROREF, but coming at Arsenal fans as if it's our fault that a penalty decision was missed is a bit rich. These are fans [...]
Well, now, that was a great Sunday afternoon, wasn't it? Arsenal went up to Anfield, a place that is traditionally a painful experience; they went to a ground that normally sees the home fans come away happy, and us trudge home; they went to the North West, where we don't usually fare too brightly, and [...]
There are just three match days I absolutely hate. Today is one of them. The other two are: The NLD away - just hate the stakes, even when they are shit and we've beaten them on their own ground for the last couple of seasons The Emptihad - because, like Anfield, we just never win [...]
Happy Friday, boys and girls. Do you ever have those weeks where it feels like it's absolutely flown by? That's me this week. Which is a good thing that the Fleetwood game happened earlier in the week, because I've been able to mitigate the 'banter' damage from friends and family, whilst also moving on myself [...]
It's Thursday; we still have a few days until the big one at Anfield on Sunday, so the talk about that game should ramp up from today. I became a self-employed worker in September, so I don't have an office - per se - but I know a few people who said they took pelters for [...]
With Arsenal doing their job on Saturday, having already seen the women beat the Scum and Man City lose away to Villa, yesterday was a day to enjoy a bit of hate-watch TV. And although Liverpool won, the fact it was Brighton on the other end is probably a good thing for us. Hürzeler is [...]
That was as routine and solid a win as you're going to get yesterday. And I couldn't be happier. 3 p.m. kickoff, a historically stubborn opponent, we haven't scored a set piece or a first-half goal in a while...that felt like it was going to be a grind in appalling conditions yesterday. Instead, The Arsenal [...]
Bit later than usual today, on account of midweek 'on a school night' drinking last night. The Management and I have promised ourselves there'll be no booze this evening. Let's see how that plays out... And let's see how the press conferences play out today. I hope Arteta hits the assembled journo's with a big [...]
