Frustration felt as Arsenal slip up against Tottenham

As I said on last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, the one word that keeps ringing through my head both yesterday and this morning: Frustration. I'm frustrated at the performance. I'm frustrated at the injuries. I'm frustrated at the silly concession of our goals. I'm frustrated at the media narrative about how awesome this Postecoglou [...]

North London Derby day – the unknown quantity in Ange’s Tottenham

Here we are. The second worst fixture of the football calendar, from my perspective, with the away North London Derby easily being the worst. Despite the fact we have a good record at home, despite the fact some of my best memories are from NLD's of years gone by, I still hate the tension ahead [...]

I had a stinking hangover yesterday after a company all-day conference on Thursday and so wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to do anything, let alone blog, but I'm back and feeling refershed this morning and what a good job too, because there is so much to talk about ahead of the North [...]

Would you believe it: I've read so much Arsenal content over the last few days, listened to so many Arsenal podcasts, that I'm already running out of #content to digest. So this morning, as a bit of a giggle as I did my morning run, I decided to flick on a Spurs podcast, just to [...]

Well good morning to you, fellow - very happy - Gooner! I'd pretty much downed tools on the ol' blog front on account of getting up late every morning in a beautiful tropical island and just wanting to drink cocktails and sit by the pool, but having arrived yesterday just as the game was in [...]

It may be Tuesday, it may be three days since the North London Derby, but I'm still soaking up all of the #content I can find. I've been playing the Peter Drury commentary of the goals and the full time whistle this morning. Google  it or search for it on twitter, you'll find it and [...]

Victory for good football over evil – Arsenal triumph on derby day

For as much as I hate the pre match build up to a North London Derby, the feeling of euphoria after a well deserved win is something that is unmatched at any other stage of the season. It’s like getting the greatest reward for your suffering and yesterday mornings suffering has certainly been rewarded with [...]

Arsenal need to dominate from the start in the North London Derby

I bloody hate this fixture. People that say they look forward to it, they enjoy it, pah, I don't believe you. Don't get me wrong, when Arsenal have won in this fixture in the past, it is one of the great feelings of the season and particularly in an era in which, let's be honest, [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. I spent my Saturday doing all manner of jobs and then today i'm going to relax and enjoy a day of rest. I saw that the Arsenal ladies gave the Scum ladies a good ol' fashioned tonking and that's always good to hear. I've seen a couple of the [...]

Couple of days away from blogging for me over the last two; the first was because of a super-early get up to head off to an all company away day and so I didn't have the chance to, but the second - yesterday - was due in large part to the big hangover I had [...]
