Morning peeps. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Hope you guys are all good. It's going to be a scorcher this weekend and so after today's brain dump I'll be heading out to the garden to fire up the paddling pool I reckon! Come 2pm there will be a beached whale of a Suburban Gooner [...]

Speculating on why Tielemans hasn’t moved yet

Welcome to Wednesday people. How we all getting on? In the UK we've got the August bank holiday looming on the horizon this weekend and that is something to be very happy about, but so is the end of the transfer window, if I'm completely honest, because that'll happen next week and we'll know exactly [...]

Circling the wagons and uniting the Arsenal fanbase

A bit like The Arsenal, I took a day off yesterday from writing the blog, mainly because I was hanging and a little tired after a weekend of excess celebrating The Management's birthday. But whilst on Saturday I wrote about Arsenal stepping down off the morale high ground and how it made me feel uneasy, [...]

Welcome respite? Will the board listen? Will Arsène?

Hey friends, how are you doing this Friday, eh? Looking forward to the FA Cup this weekend. Can I tell you something? I am. I really am. You know how commentators often mention that 'this could be a welcome distraction from the league' when talking about teams fighting relegation but still in the cup? Well [...]

We’ve got one hand left to play at Arsenal

Well as expected, Chelski scanned their way to another win, Stoke bent over and presented themselves for crayon-munching Kane to provide them with a metaphorical meat pounding and to complete the faecal matter infused flavour of the weekend, United completely skanked a Southampton team that were the better team throughout. Tonight we can complete the [...]

Don’t expect this weekend, but hope for a utopian end of season for Arsenal

Not a lot going on for us today, eh folks? I mean sure, i'll be you're filling your day with all manner of interesting things, but i'd be surprised if they are Arsenal-related thing, what with us not playing until Saturday evening against Liverpool. Me? I'm going to see if you really can get a [...]

Changing the only constant left at The Arsenal

As I watched the conclusion of The Masters yesterday, I took some comfort in the fact that as it turns out, it's not just Arsenal that choke under pressure in sport. Jordan Spieth, world number two and man who has controlled the entire competition, had a complete meltdown whilst cruising in front and allowed Britain Danny [...]

The Arsenal rollercoaster goes on

Being an Arsenal fan has always been a rollercoaster of emotion, but right now at this moment in time, it feels like we're going through some kind of extreme. After our victory against Everton on Saturday, Leicester followed it up by scraping by a pretty poor Palace side, whilst the Spuds swept away a Bournemouth [...]
