It's a wet and windy Friday in London. If they didn't earn thousands of pounds literally per hour, I'd almost feel sorry for the players going out and training in this up and down the land. But they gotta do their job, like all of us do. And whilst this (blogging) isn't exactly a 'job' (certainly [...]
Eventually, it was an Arsenal performance that had everything: Dominance, goals, a little rotation to keep players fresh for the weekend. But it wasn't the kind of free-flowing performance that had many around me in the ground last night saying that we were purring like a well-oiled machine. I guess that's only natural. Arteta rang [...]
The news broke that we kind of already knew yesterday, but it was still important and lovely to read nonetheless: Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with The Arsenal This is fantastic news. Yes, everyone was 'calma' about it at The Arsenal; the journos 'in the know' were all saying it is pretty much [...]
Morning, boys and girls, hope you're all well. Yesterday I was waxing lyrical about Mikel Arteta's new deal, and in that blog I talked about how we need to start looking at Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice next. Well, wouldn't you just know it, but Tuesday and yesterday's news started emerging about just that. Declan [...]
Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name, While there's no proper football, Arteta's contract announcement is the name of the game. Alright, it doesn't quite work, but it was the first thing that popped into my head as I started penning today's musings. And it's a big deal. Both literally and figuratively, because [...]
Under normal circumstances, I’d be saying things like “I quite like these types of games tonight”. Arsenal in the EFL Cup, or League Cup as I prefer to call it, is an opportunity to usually rotate a few players, to take the stresses away from the Premier League, and last season it certainly offered that [...]
If last season taught us anything, it's that Sunderland are a side not to be taken lightly. That 2-2 up at the Stadium of light come over my birthday weekend in November, I was up in the North East, funnily enough, but on the black and white side, and Arsenal were gut-punched late on to [...]
The good thing about us playing on Monday night was that it means we've got less time to wait until the weekend, and easily the biggest of the three games so far this season against Chelsea. Because of that, I'm hopeful that the thnkpieces from journos (and to be fair, bloggers like me) about how [...]
This is shaping up to be a fun weekend, all things considered, eh? We kicked off with a lovely, comfortable, impressive 3-0 win at home to Coventry on Friday, then yesterday were treated to Man United losing the early game of the day to Hull. Lovely stuff. I hope this doesn't come back to bite [...]
I gotta say, I do like that third kit, maybe even better than the away one. I guess it's just because I'm a sucker for a red and white home shirt (sacred, so doesn't change, apart from the cranberry year that we moved away from Highbury), and a yellow and blue away shirt, so this [...]
