Well I must admit I did not expect Everton to do us any favours yesterday, so didn't bother watching the game between them and Liverpool at Goodison. It helped I was out for dinner with friends, I'll admit, but when I asked the Management to check her phone for the score (superstitious fan in me [...]
Morning folks. Another working week begins and with Arsenal in action on Tuesday, we'll be getting in to it pronto, because Arteta has another press conference this afternoon ahead of us playing against Chelsea tomorrow evening. Pep and Bernardo Silva can complain all they want, but I think we have a little more to complain [...]
Mikel Arteta had his press conference in the afternoon yesterday and the first good news is that Timber aside, everyone is fine to play this evening. I had a look at Wolves yesterday and from what Gary O'Neill said in his press conference, there is no Neto, as he has only just come back from [...]
And so the Champions League run for The Arsenal comes to an end. Not with a bang, but sadly with a bit of a whimper, as Bayern saw out a tense affair in Munich by beating us 1-0 with that second half headed goal by Kimmich. It was a momentary lapse of concentration from our [...]
It's the big one today and potentially a season-defining one, although I really wish that it wasn't, because I do worry what might happen if we go out tonight. That's a very real possibility, because: We do not have an amazing pedigree in Europe. We have a pretty pants record against Bayern. We've just come [...]
I know it's a bit of a provocative title, but sometimes needs must, boys and girls, because it just feels like where I'm at right now. It's now two days since we lost to Villa and that sobering and numbing feeling from that defeat is still gnawing away me. This wasn't where we were supposed [...]
Yesterday was not a fun day. Yesterday a big chunk of hope that we might end the wait for a league title crumbled away. Yes, we are just two points off Man City and yes, there are a few games left still to play, but we aren't up against any other team. We all know [...]
Happy Saturday and welcome to the weekend folks. Hope life is treating you all well. We had Arteta's presser yesterday and he seemed pretty fine and his usual self when talking about the team and player availability for Sunday, which is good. Gabriel apparent missed training since the Bayern game but Arteta didn't seem to [...]
I went for my afternoon run first thing this morning, which has its benefits because rather than speculate on what Arteta has to say in his press conference today, it's happening literally as I type out today's ramblings. So I have a bity of a real time reaction opportunity this Friday morn, which is novel. [...]
It’s the big one today and, as I suspected but didn’t say, the butterflies and nerves for this game against City later on are starting to kick in. Arsenal travel to Manchester trying to do something we haven’t managed to do in nine previous attempts in all competitions. You have to go back eight years [...]
