Another one of the current crop tied down, as Arsenal announced that Takehiro Tomiyasu has extended his stay with the club by signing a new deal. And it was a lovely video that the club posted to announce it too: Dedication. Determination. Tomiyasu ✍️ pic.twitter.com/2Q6kGZWNza — Arsenal (@Arsenal) March 20, 2024 We all love Tomi, [...]
There was Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday and whilst there was a flurry of questions that he answered about Liverpool, team news, young players, the transfer window, etc, I think I'll spend the vast bulk of today speaking about Thomas Partey, who Arteta confirmed had a set back in training this last few days and [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Thursday, in which we now know that the Klopp and PGMOL farewell tour appears to be underway, as Paul Tierney decided to settle his differences with the German manager and basically give them immunity to dodgy refereeing decisions by booking a Chelsea player early on for diving when there was [...]
Howdy folks and welcome to Monday. They're much more palatable when The Arsenal have picked up three points and have bagged a bunch of goals, eh? I saw a few fans say that we should shut up about the Newcastle goal that was given now that we've had our own version of that goal allowed, [...]
I didn't expect Newcastle to do us any favours yesterday, did you? Nah, didn't think so. Even when they went 2-1 up and there was only 30 minutes left to play, I was like "they'll probably lose". And they di, with the cheat code that is De Bruyne. I don't know about his barnet choices, but [...]
Happy FA Cup third round Saturday folks. It's a shame really, because the third round weekend used to be one of the more fun weekends. You used to get yourself a home or away tie against another team you usually don't play against, there would be tonnes of football on all the time (well, compared [...]
With Arsenal having essentially a week to, as Declan Rice put it, 'reset' ahead of their next game, I am wondering what the mood will be like after back-to-back defeats. Will the players feel as down as we all were after those results? How well can they compartmentalise them and give a reaction? How exactly [...]
Been spending the last few days travelling all over the place, so haven't had the chance to write much about the shambles that our Arsenal Christmas has been since the good and battling point at Anfield. On 23rd December I thought "take that, we're top, things are looking good" but having witnessed such a poor [...]
Yesterday I drove up to see the Management's family for our 'part two' of Christmas and as we travelled up I decided to flick on the radio to have a listen to the Newcastle v Forest game. I do love the Christmas period because aside from Christmas Day, there is football on basically all the [...]
Happy Wednesday to you good people. I hope you and yours are well. We've got a bit of a Christmas gathering for the Same Old Arsenal podcast this evening in which we'll talk through some of the highs and the lows of the evening with a few of the guests we've had over the last [...]
