Happy with Porto draw; Arsenal showing the other side of football injuries
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 [...]
Impressive Arsenal shut out Brighton and go top again
This season is going to be one heck of a rollercoaster, if the first half of the season is anything to go by, after a weekend in which we find ourselves back on top after an excellent victory over Brighton yesterday lunchtime. I say this because this time last week we were ruing our missed [...]
Bogey team Brighton at the Emirates
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 [...]
Ramsdale to Chelsea should be a ‘hell no’; Arteta played an impressively straight bat presser
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, [...]
Arteta off the hook and Partey back in the picture
Slightly delayed one from me today. Had the work Christmas party last night but actually feel quite alright - managed to avoid getting too plastered, but did get home late and so decided to have a lie in. But no Mikel Arteta press conference yet, so I guess I'll just have to wait and have [...]
The tricky January questions Arsenal need to address
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. I have my work Christmas party this evening, so whether I'm in any fit state tomorrow morning to drop a few words on this virtual page I don't know, but for now I'm good so will crack on for now, although there hasn't been a presser, there's little more [...]
Arsenal get by against PSV in the most rubbery of dead rubbers
Not really sure where to go with today's post match blog musings, to be honest with you, because the situation we - thankfully - put ourselves in by winning all but one of our other Champions league games, meant that yesterday night's dead rubber was the most dead rubbery of all that you're going to [...]
Arsenal can’t go full ‘Disgrace of Gijon’ tonight, but hopefully not too far off
Here cometh another match day, only this one is a little weirder than they usually are, on account of the outcome of tonight's game meaning LITERALLY nothing to anybody involved in Eindhoven. An Arsenal win keeps us top with 15 points. They stay on eight points and if Lens beat Sevilla at home then they [...]
It’s tight towards the top for The Arsenal
Morning folks, hope we're all good? After the midweek of pretty tasty results for us, the weekend fare wasn't quite what we'd have hoped for, as pretty much all the teams around us picked up points and it's dropped us down to second, a point behind Liverpool. But hey, that is always going to happen; [...]
Profligate Arsenal come unstuck at Villa
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 [...]
