Arsenal squeeze past Palace with little help from referees as usual
You know football is back when you look at the heart rate monitor and see that because of your elevated beats per minute, you've been fat burning on a Monday night from about 9pm onwards, despite sitting on your sofa. Specifically, you know you're an Arsenal fan who knows that football is back because as [...]
A tough on in South London for The Arsenal tonight
It's match day number two for us this evening as the footballing authorities saw fit to turn this game against Palace to a Monday night one under the lights for something like the fourth or fifth time in a row I think (I haven't bothered to check that). That's because they want an upset and [...]
Theo’s boots are hung, Balogun’s are on the move?
Greetings from a very warm Germany, Berlin, to be precise. the Management and I are doing a cheeky weekend in Deutschland so I can brush up on me German and take in some of the sights of a City that we’ve never been to before. It’s what you get when you are able to be [...]
Do Arsenal have enough cover in defence – and the whole team – now?
Happy Friday Gooners. It's one of those weird Friday's where we have ourselves some words from the manager, but we don't actually play this weekend, instead having to wait until Monday night before our match week two begins. In some ways for me personally that's a good thing. I'm flying off to Berlin tonight for [...]
Timber’s season is done, Tavares’ Arsenal career is probably too
Howdy folks, how we all doing? Good? I've come down with a bloody cold, which is a bit annoying given I'm due to be flying to Berlin for a cheeky weekend away with the wife tomorrow night. Hopefully I've shifted it for tomorrow though. In the meantime, let's have a pause and a sad face [...]
FFP: Farcically Foul Play
Yo yo Gooners, y'alreet? Just getting in to the lingo for KT's move to Newcastle, as apparently they're 'back in the hunt' for the full back. The supposed reason they haven't already gone in for him - given they are looking at signing a left back - is that they want to ensure they are [...]
Timber blow means Arsenal need to have a rethink
I want to talk more about Arsenal related stuff and I of course will do that today, but before that let's take a moment to recognise the incompetence of the refereeing in last night's game at Old Trafford. Quite how Simon Hooper and his VAR officials didn't come to a conclusion that Wolves should have [...]
Arteta keeping everyone second-guessing
Morning folks, how we all doing? I didn't get around to penning any thoughts yesterday about the game, on account of the stinking hangover, followed by having the parents over and then trying to trudge my way around a golf course first thing yesterday, so I thought today I'd reflect a little on the weekend's [...]
No bankers, but Arsenal need to show we’re ready to go again against Forest
Morning kids, we all excited for match day? I know I am! Didn't go to bed until midnight and here I am at 6.30am wide awake. There's something very special about the first game of the season when it's a homer. Everything is new, hope has been renewed, the bad tastes of last season (unless [...]
Looking for every Arsenal opening day good omen…
Morning folks, happy Friday and all that jazz. How are we all doing? I know this isn't a Liverpool blog, but I'm going to start off with the Caicedo news that Ornstein dropped in the early hours of this morning. I mean, honestly, doesn't that guy sleep? What does he do, spend a few hours [...]
