I didn't get around to penning some thoughts yesterday because I was at the hospital for a check up on a dicky wrist, but in the evening last night the guys and I chewed the fat on the Same Old Arsenal pod in which we discussed the Nottingham Forest game, which I found really hard [...]

Arsenal go down without a fight

Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]

Arsenal got a dog! (There may or may not be a football match today too….)

I'm a cat owner, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a loveable dog. And so when I saw that Mikel Arteta had hand selected himself a chocolate Labrador to roam the halls and fields of London Colney, I thought it was a great idea. The thought that there will be an affectionate pooch bounding [...]

City’s dominance no comfort to an Arsenal fan like me

It would have had to have been a very cold day in hell for me to have watched Man City smash Real Madrid last night. The fact they did gave me about 1% feeling of "well, they've just tonked the European Champions, so perhaps the inevitable was going to happen for us. In my attempt [...]

Xhaka’s exit might be the right timing for all parties, but we will 100% miss him

If most Arsenal fans would have read that Leverkusen were buying Granit Xhaka for £13million in the summer of last year, I think a big chunk of Arsenal fans would have been absolutely fine with it. For me he's always been a talented player that I think has improved steadily under Arteta, so I'm not [...]

Should Arteta experiment for the final two games?

Still feeling it a little bit after the game on Sunday. How about you? Even the catharsis of doing the pod last night hasn't helped to get me over the defeat to Brighton. I said on the pod that my football hangover cure was to avoid social media for a bit and that I did, [...]

Arsenal and Arteta get the tactics and mentality wrong against Brighton

There are some days where I really just don't feel like writing about football or, specifically, about The Arsenal. Today my friends, is one of those days, for sure. I even fired up my laptop this morning and instead of logging on to the site and starting to type away, I started to go through [...]

Bogey team Brighton provide a massive test for The Arsenal

Cor blimey I had a skin-full last night. Eurovision virtual party with the family and I decided the only way to get through it is to drink so much booze that walking upstairs to bed felt like a pilgrimage. **Makes noise like Sideshow Bob when he steps on all those rakes in The Simpsons** I [...]

Arteta adopting a Kaizen approach

Howdy peeps, hope we're all feeling good on this Premier League weekend? The big matches don't happen until tomorrow with Man City going to Everton to pick up what will inevitably be three points as Everton lie down and have their chins tickled by a Man City side who will feel pretty confident that they [...]
