There's only one place to start this morning, given that Arteta doesn't face the media until this afternoon, which is the disappointing news that Emile Smith Rowe has undergone surgery on that groin problem that has kept him in and out of the team all season and will now not be available until after the [...]
Hello, hello, hello, how are you doing today? Are you feeling chipper now that we're knocking down the doors of the North London Derby game on Saturday? I'm not. Hate this fixture more than anything else. Home or away, I hate it. The worry, the nerves, the stress, it all just builds until the moment [...]
The countdown feels like it truly commenceth today, my good friends. We are on T-minus three days and counting after today until the North London Derby and with the players all starting to make their way back to London Colney to be assessed on their fitness ahead of what is feeling - as always - [...]
They say that 'ignorance is bliss' and today let us play tribute to the Mayor of Ignorant Town, a certain former Arsenal employee, Mr Raul Sanllehi. He's been chirping in The Athletic about his time at Arsenal, now that his slunk his way back in to football with a job at Real Zaragoza, deciding that [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. I spent my Saturday doing all manner of jobs and then today i'm going to relax and enjoy a day of rest. I saw that the Arsenal ladies gave the Scum ladies a good ol' fashioned tonking and that's always good to hear. I've seen a couple of the [...]
Couple of days away from blogging for me over the last two; the first was because of a super-early get up to head off to an all company away day and so I didn't have the chance to, but the second - yesterday - was due in large part to the big hangover I had [...]
Happy Wednesday peeps. How you doing? Are you feeling chipper even though we're on an international break now? I know I still am. Sitting top of the table will do that to you. I think it is because we all know that in reality it won't last, which is why we're maybe taking this 'top [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. It's an odd one in the UK because the bank holiday yesterday was essentially non-existent two weeks ago, so it kind of still feels like a Monday morning. Only it isn't. It's Tuesday. But it carries that feeling of a Monday of satisfaction after the three points at the [...]
Yesterday's result felt like yet another milestone, yet another narrative, was knocked down. On opening day it was the "tough game under the lights", after five games it was the "yeah but the teams you've played have been rubbish", but yesterday we played a good and in form team, whose fans are bullish, playing them [...]
It's finally a Premier League match day again for The Arsenal and I've got that usual feeling of butterflies in the stomach that occur in the morning of a game. All week I've been thinking about Brentford, I've listened to podcast previews, I've ruminated on how the match might unfold and in my head I've [...]
