Most of the time, when I write my daily ramblings, I jot down a stream of conscious thought and then rack my brains as to what the title should be. But there are rare occasions where I start with the title and let it flow from there. Why am I telling you this? Well, obviously, [...]
The news that Christian Eriksen collapsed yesterday playing for Denmark really should hit home that when people say "it's only a game", this is when you say"yep - not worth it". It may be Erikson's livelihood, his job, his identity, but health has to come above everything else, and when you put yourself in his [...]
Happy Friday kids. Guess what? We're still champions. And we reflected on that, the parade, the Champions League final, and more in last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, which you can watch here. I'll get the audio out later today on all platforms. We also did a bit of a discussion over our predictions. I'm [...]
I didn't blog yesterday, as I didn't have time, because I was on my way to the Emirates to film a documentary a mate of mine is making. But when I was on my way back, listening to a few podcasts, I was thinking to myself, "I wonder when the transfer silly season will start [...]
I went for a walk with The Management last night. We talked a little bit about how long this feeling of the 'good vibes' can go on for. I said a little while longer, but it does feel as though the 'party vibes' are starting to subside now. I still walked through Uxbridge yesterday and [...]
I didn't blog yesterday about the Champions League.

I [...]
It's the big one today, folks. The Champions League Final. Arsenal play PSG, the side that vanquished us in the semi-final last season over two legs. It's the 'game of your lifetime'. Last season I actually went into the semi-final in a pretty confident mood. We'd beaten PSG pretty well at home, we'd already managed [...]
Yesterday afternoon/evening, there was a flurry of articles that were released interviewing Josh Kroenke, as the co-chairman of Arsenal, to discuss the journey that the club has been on since he and his father became majority stakeholders at The Arsenal. I myself read the Telegraph one by Sam Dean (my dad has an account so [...]
This midweek has felt like a weird one. There haven't been a ton of things to say, in all honesty; we've all been basking in the reflective glow of the Premier League title win, whilst also feeling a little weird that we have an arguably bigger prize in just two days' time. But as the [...]
After a big win, I usually say things like "let the basking continue" or thereabouts. If we beat a Chelsea, or a Liverpool, City, etc - you feel like you can bathe in the radiant glow of victory. Even though they have been a tragic side this season, beating the Scum in the North London [...]
