With the interlull now upon us, I'm minded to start looking ahead to the few week's after this interminable international break has concluded because frankly, I have zero interest in seeing what England side has been patched together because Liverpool, Chelsea, United and City have all withdrawn players with minor 'injuries'. On the Same Old [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
I had a dream last night that we played Burnley, we were beating them 2-0 and into injury time, when Bukayo Saka went down and we were arguing for a penalty in stoppage time. The ref waved it away, but then was called to the monitor, to see that the second goal we scored hit [...]
The overriding feeling I have this morning is one of frustration. Frustration that we didn't remove the hoodoo of not winning at Anfield. Frustration that we didn't make a solid first half a great second. Frustration at the injuries. Frustration at a prevailing media narrative that 'Arsenal got what they deserved', like we didn't cancel [...]
Happy Hincapie Saturday folks! Although Arteta was tight-lipped on that arrival, the Ornbomb has already dropped and it appears we're loan-optioning him for the season and clearly we'll drop the actual cash on Leverkusen's lap in the summer of 2026, which makes sense given that we probably don't have the cash lying around to make [...]
With it being Wednesday and still a good four days until the game against Liverpool, I've still been drinking in some of the Eze stuff, whilst also watching the odd tactical review of the game against Leeds. I said before that game that I thought it was difficult to know what Leeds team would turn [...]
I thought about watching the Newcastle v Liverpool game, but ended up doing a BBQ instead and when we'd finished eating, I flicked on the TV to see Liverpool two-goals up and Newcastle down to ten men so I said to myself "no chance I'm watching the rest of that game" and switched it off [...]
I spent the day out yesterday having a walk with the Management. We went to the pub for lunch and she kept saying "why do you keep looking at your phone? What are you watching?" "Videos of the Eze signing" **Wife rolls eyes** It was good content to absorb yesterday and with the bank holiday [...]
I watched a few bits of the Leeds vs Everton game last night, mainly because we have Leeds at the weekend and aside from the dodgy penalty given, I have to say Leeds' desire to be quite free-flowing and forward-looking was quite refreshing. Obviously as an Arsenal fan you hope they bring that to the [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Monday. I had family over and coupled that with a bit of a two-day hangover, so didn't blog this weekend, but thankfully not a lot really happened in the Arsenal world, as the players headed back to the UK and today they kick off the proper pre season prep ahead [...]
