Why do Arsenal concede so many goals at home and not away?

Happy Monday folks - hope we're all fine and dandy? I kicked off a booze free few weeks yesterday (well, technically because of the COVID it was from Tuesday last week, but I'm not counting that just yet) and so I've woken up this morning without a fuzzy head and that, dear friends, is pretty [...]

North London Derby day – the unknown quantity in Ange’s Tottenham

Here we are. The second worst fixture of the football calendar, from my perspective, with the away North London Derby easily being the worst. Despite the fact we have a good record at home, despite the fact some of my best memories are from NLD's of years gone by, I still hate the tension ahead [...]

I had a stinking hangover yesterday after a company all-day conference on Thursday and so wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to do anything, let alone blog, but I'm back and feeling refershed this morning and what a good job too, because there is so much to talk about ahead of the North [...]

Arsenal roll back the years in routine Champions League opener

Well that was like rolling back the years last night, wasn't it? What I mean by that is that it was Arsenal back in the Champions League, the music blaring, the light show, but also, the kind of performance we used to routinely take for granted. That felt like the kind of game that we [...]

The long wait has ended – will Arsenal respond in the Champions League

We’ve waited for this match day for a long time, haven’t we, eh? Arsenal back in the Champions League. It’s a place that for so many years we took for granted and I seem to recall all those years ago (probably around this time seven years ago) thinking (and maybe writing but I can't be [...]

Arteta keeping everyone – including the ‘keepers – fresh and on their toes?

Howdy Gooners, how we all doing today? It's a pretty grey and grim looking one in London at the moment; almost as if the decision has been made that "that's it. You've had your little taste of summer and now I'm going to remind you just where in the world you live" or something like [...]

Gabriel seems fine (phew), but it lays out the defensive tightrope we could be walking

We're nearly there folks...closing down on exiting this interminable international break and we can get our focus back to Everton on Sunday, which will be a tough trip as it always is for us, having not won there in what feels like a bazillion years. Hopefully we'll also have the benefit of having Gabriel back [...]

Arsenal players getting recognised is a nice and new feeling

Happy Thursday Gooners - we holding up ok? I say that because, let's face it, this is just about the worst time in an international break; we're now a solid four days from the brilliant late United winner, the content that we have been gorging ourselves on is starting to run out, with the upcoming [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
