These are the games that could define Arsenal’s season – Villa away
I'd be telling you a big fat festive Christmas fib if I didn't admit to being anything other than nervous about today's game at Villa Park. I've been reading a few bits online, I've been taking in some Arsenal podcasts, plus reading a few Villa blogs too. They are cautiously optimistic. They know that it [...]
Arsenal and Arteta’s control – we’re getting used to it
Last night after I'd had my dinner I quickly checked my phone to see the Scum v West Ham score. It was about 20 minutes in and I saw that they had bagged one early so I put my phone down and tucked in to some festive TV. "I'm not watching the media love in of [...]
Is this season the hardest Premier League ever?
Given the games are coming thick and fast at the moment, no sooner had the euphoria of Tuesday's win settled down for me yesterday evening, I immediately started thinking about the challenge of Aston Villa ahead on Saturday. This was amplified when I saw that Villa were playing City at home in the evening and [...]
Last-gasp Arsenal do ‘limbs’ against Luton
Sometimes it's just good to start at the end and work backwards, which is what I think I'll do today, because last night as Declan Rice's 97th minute header hit the back of Luton's net, I let out a high pitch scream that woke the Management and the cat up from their slumbers in the [...]
Arteta will stress the importance of not underestimating the Hatters
Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]
By Christmas Day, Arsenal will know…
Morning all, hope we're all good? It's back down to normality for me today following just under three week's on the other side of the world on holiday in New Zealand and although I've been quiet on here and quite quiet on social media, I've managed to watch almost all of Arsenal's football, as well [...]
Declan Rice is Arsenal’s most important player
Howdy folks from the Southern hemisphere. Hope you guys are all doing well? I've been thinking about this topic for a while so thought given that we're in the middle of the tedium that is the international break, I'd pen some thoughts about our £100million man Declan Rice, who by now we all absolute adore [...]
The forlorn hope of football justice
Morning folks - well, it is for me, as today's blog comes to you on an early Friday morning in Auckland New Zealand, where I'm staying with The Management's family for a few days before we travel around Kiwi land for the next couple of weeks. As a result I'll probably just intermittently pen thoughts [...]
Good for Martin, bad for Jesus, terrible from PGMOL
Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, which will probably be the last of the regularly released rambling utterances from yours truly on here, because in about 13 hours from writing this I'm off to New Zealand for a few weeks. I'll try to get a few blogs and thoughts penned in during that time, but [...]
Professional Arsenal deliver what we wanted against Burnley
Well it wasn’t quite the hammering that we saw against Sheffield United a few weeks back, but as expected Arsenal did the job at The Emirates yesterday against a struggling Burnley side. Pre game I wrote about how I expected them to be a little more progressive than the Burnley of old, I expected them [...]
