Eugh, this is becoming intolerable now, this absence of football. I don't know why, but it feels even worse than an international break period. And there was even football on last weekend, which was supposed to at least keep me preoccupied until The Arsenal roll back in to town, but alas it has made things [...]
I didn't expect Newcastle to do us any favours yesterday, did you? Nah, didn't think so. Even when they went 2-1 up and there was only 30 minutes left to play, I was like "they'll probably lose". And they di, with the cheat code that is De Bruyne. I don't know about his barnet choices, but [...]
In some sort of twisted dark humour attempt at comedy my timeline on Twitter reminded me just now that on this day in 2007 we went to Anfield and put six goals past Liverpool to make it through to the League Cup Semi Final. Julio Baptista, Alex Song and Jeremie Aliadiere all got on the [...]
Today we'll have Mikel Arteta's press conference ahead of the Liverpool game and he'll be asked about the game, injury updates, but also about the current profligacy in front of goal and how he overcomes it. My hope is that with a glint in his eye he comes out swinging. My hope is that he [...]
Happy Wednesday to you good people. I hope you and yours are well. We've got a bit of a Christmas gathering for the Same Old Arsenal podcast this evening in which we'll talk through some of the highs and the lows of the evening with a few of the guests we've had over the last [...]
The last working Tuesday of my year and it's the day after we've learned our Champions League Round of 16 fate. And I have to say I was hopeful of getting Porto in the next round. It's a city I've always wanted to visit, at a time in the year where the weather will be [...]
Iiiit's matchday people! And a pretty tough match day we have in front of us this lunchtime, that's for sure, because Brighton and Hove Albion are absolutely our bogey team. The recent form at the Emiriates reads: 0-3 loss last season in the Premier League 1-3 loss last season in the League Cup 1-2 Loss [...]
I'm going to get straight in to the press conference Mikel Arteta held yesterday in a minute, but before I do that, I saw some noises yesterday about Chelsea potentially lining up a move for Aaron Ramsdale as a possible replacement for their current 'keeper Sanchez and I need to get this off me chest, [...]
That one was a tough one to take yesterday, because as Arteta put it after the game, we were the better team and should have put the ball in the back of the net. We knew what we would get last night. Under the lights, on TV, Villa playing well at home and currently on [...]
Given the games are coming thick and fast at the moment, no sooner had the euphoria of Tuesday's win settled down for me yesterday evening, I immediately started thinking about the challenge of Aston Villa ahead on Saturday. This was amplified when I saw that Villa were playing City at home in the evening and [...]
