I couldn't watch the game yesterday due to family commitments and a birthday celebration for The Management, which meant watching the game on replay and benefiting from knowing the result. It has its upside, in that you feel perfectly calm watching the game unfold, knowing that Arsenal have safely progressed and done so with plenty [...]
It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]
Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]
That was about as much fun as the weather last night. Arsenal had an opportunity to really lay down a marker against an injury-hit, beleaguered, and not really in form (despite what the ‘unbeaten run will tell you) Liverpool team. And they just didn’t take it. The opportunity was there, and no such marker was [...]
It's a watching brief for us today and this evening, with our game on tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I said I expected some kind of upset in Manchester. Brighton is a good team; they picked up a win in their last game, but their visits to some of the so-called 'big clubs' of [...]
It's day two back in the office for me, and I already feel bloody knackered, so much for the rest and recharging of the Christmas period. I don't know how these footballers do it, you know. Well, I do, because they get lots of sleep, and they also treat their bodies like temples, not waste [...]
Morning all, and welcome to the first Monday of 2026. From a working point of view, given I took Friday off, it sucks. But from an Arsenal point of view, well, it has been a pretty successful and enjoyable Monday in which to write about the current situation. I'll be honest with you, at the [...]
Happy Sunday boys and girls. We all feeling good about yet another Arsenal win? I know I am. I must admit that on 11 minutes of the game after Gabriel had played the most hospitally of hospital balls across his side of the 18-yard box to gift Evanilson a tap in, I did not have [...]
For the last few matches I've read a few blogs, listened to a few podcasts and spoken to a few mates, talking about how the performances haven't quite matched the goal threat we have produced. I'm sure you've been exposed to the whole "Arsenal have one goal from 9 xG" narrative as much as I [...]
Happy match day folks - hope we're all good? Well, I say "happy" match day, but we all know that is predicated on whether Arsenal can collect all three points tonight against a red-hot Aston Villa on fine form at the moment, and going into this game feeling like they can beat anybody. And they [...]
