Morning Gooners and welcome to a new week. After the disappointment of the Forest game I said I'd take some time away from engaging with Arsenal content and that's just what I did. It was refreshing. Staying away from social media, not engaging with any football content whatsoever, not listening to Arsenal podcasts, or watching [...]
After the defeat to West Ham at the weekend I took a bit of time away from social media and blogging. That defeat was the nail in the coffin for any lingering title hopes and I just didn't feel like dipping back into the Arsenal world to lament and stew on what has been a Seasonis [...]
I enjoy writing. I always have. It's kind of my hobby. It's why I work in Marketing - I enjoy writing content and I get to do it (less so these days as I run a team that does most of it) in my job talking about the industry I work in. It's why I [...]
Before we get on to today's task against West Ham at home, a word on the draw for the Champions League, which see's us up against PSV in the Round of 16, with victory in that tie meaning we'd be up against either Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid. A win there takes us to the [...]
Morning Gooners and happy Friday to you and yours. We've got Mikel up later today at some stage and he'll give us a team update, so it'll be interesting to see how he handles the inevitable 'Big lad Merino up top Mikel?" questions from the journalists. It could go a few ways; he could pour [...]
I don't think i've ever spent as long staring at my phone in relation to an Aston Villa game in my life as I did last night. As the clock ticked in to added time it felt like the five minutes that was on offer (of which seven were played in the end...interesting...) lasted an [...]
Happy Wednesday folks - hope you and yours are well. I don't know why I bothered to check out the farcical pantomime that was "Match officials mic'd up" whilst browsing through Sky Sports' website last night on the way back from work, but I did. And it was the review of the MLS red card [...]
Last night I was cooking dinner and I flicked on Sky Sports to have in the background. Almost immediate as the first feature story they had one of their reporters outside London Colney talking about the role Merino played at the weekend, whether he could be 'the guy' in at number nine for us for [...]
I was round my parents yesterday for the weekend and as I was starting the prep for Sunday roast with the old man I decided to put the game on between Liverpool and Wolves in the second half. It was 2-0, I wasn't expecting anything other than a slow canter towards three points for the [...]
Talk about a variation of emotions from the start, middle and ending of a football match, eh? On about 75 minutes Amanda messaged me and asked whether to bother with doing a post match Same Old Arsenal podcast. It'd been a pretty turgid game, punctuated only with the occasional bright spark from eventual man of [...]
