I’ll be honest, I had ‘hopes’ that Everton could get something at home to 115 Charges FC, but I don’t think there was much expectation there. City were on a good run of form, they’ve wine their last three Premier League games, as well as beating us in the League Cup and getting to the [...]
We certainly saw some 'end of season' performances yesterday, eh? With Unai Emery going 'Full Unai' with his team ahead of their home game against Forest on Thursday, Villa put in the kind of performance you expect from an end-of-season team that really are mentally on the beach. That was frustrating from an Arsenal fan [...]
As is our situation right now, you, like I, no doubt, have a very nervous feeling in the stomach. We've been living this way for months, truth be told, so whilst this feeling of dread ahead of every Arsenal game is not new, it doesn't get any easier. I read comments like "Fulham have never [...]
I don't really feel I can start anywhere else today other than the third - and what should have been the final penalty call on the night - was given/not given. I don't understand. I am really glad that Mikel Arteta said he was infuriated with the decision, because what I saw last was a [...]
I haven't slept well at all this week. Some of it, admittedly, is related to stuff happening at my work, but more of it is related to what happens this afternoon. This could be the biggest game for Arsenal football club in over two decades. In 2022/23, we had to go to the City and [...]
So the managers have now had their say. And with that, we have from both of them the following: Mikel Arteta Perspective before performance - Mikel started with humanity. A reminder that context matters, and that leadership isn’t just about the next result - it’s about grounding people before asking more of them. Adaptability [...]
I need to obviously talk about this massive game against Sporting Lisbon tonight at The Emirates, but before I do that, I just need to tell you about a dream I had last night. We had to play Jack Wilshere's Luton Town in the Premier League, which was a prize they won for winning the [...]
I am still down after last weekend. A little more time between now and the result has helped, but not by a lot, I must admit. I think my biggest issue is that I am worried that nothing will change in a short period of time. As I said to somebody in the comments from [...]
Happy bank holiday Monday, kids. Hope all is well with you, and you have something nice planned? I'm still in the cold North, so it'll be a day of chilling and probably doing a bit of boozing too, before the reality bump back down to earth tomorrow by doing some work remotely. The Arsenal players [...]
Right...so...I think there's been enough time elapsed - for me personally - to start to get over the sting of losing a cup final. I have made peace with the fact that the League Cup as an entity despises Arsenal and has never forgiven us for injuring one of our own players in Steve Morrow [...]
