Not having The Arsenal on this weekend meant a jeopardy-free weekend in terms of how I was feeling when looking at both Premier League and FA Cup games, but despite that, there were still a few preferred outcomes that I was looking for. In the Premier League, for example, Villa and the Scum dropping points [...]
It just had to be bloody Bayern Munich, didn't it, eh? On Thursday I wrote about my preference about who I'd like to see us play in the quarter-final and on that list Bayern finished fifth out of eight, so it almost felt inevitable that we were going to get one of the toughest opponents [...]
Morning folks, hope we all good this Friday? With no Arsenal this weekend on account of the FA Cup matches taking place (which will push our game against Chelsea in to April as part of our mega fixture congestion), you'd think there would be little to talk about, but you'd be wrong. Step forward the [...]
So last night we found out all about who our opponents could potentially be, as the last of the Champions League round of 16 games were played and it was Atleti and Dortmund who advanced to the quarter finals, which means we'll get one of: Atlético de Madrid Barcelona Bayern München Borussia Dortmund Manchester City [...]
"Late one last night, was it?" "You could say that" The words this morning from the Management when she got up this morning; I'd come crashing through the door at after 12am and slunk straight in to bed. It was flipping worth it though. My, wasn't it worth it, eh? Arsenal are in to the [...]

It's a second leg Champions League tie against FC Porto and Arsenal have a one goal deficit that they need to overcome if there is to be more Champions League football played at The Emirates this season. Mikel Arteta and his players know exactly what is needed and they [...]
Happy Monday folks - how are we all doing? Yesterday morning we did the Same Old Arsenal pod and had a great session discussion Saturday's win over Brentford, which was followed up by the perfect result at Anfield yesterday as Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw against Man City. That second half was interesting, [...]
In the end, the job was done, three points were secured and The Arsenal finished the evening top of the table, with the ability to watch the Liverpool v City game without thinking that we'd fluffed our chances this weekend. But it could have been very different indeed, had Kai Havertz not stepped in to [...]
Right then, it's match day, so let's see what we're up against with today's evening opponents Brentford, eh? Firstly, their team news, which sees the Beeds facing quite a lot of missing players due to injury, particularly at the back, where Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey and Ethan Pinnock all remain out for this [...]
In classic Chris style, yesterday I predicted that we wouldn't get Arteta's press conference until today, so of course Arteta went in front of the press yesterday to talk about the upcoming showdown against Brentford tomorrow in the early evening. If you ever see me at the races, bet on the horses I'm not picking! [...]
