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 [...]

Morning all and welcome to Friday. We're just over 24 hours until we take to the field against Burnley and we'll hear from Mikel at some stage today about the team news for this one and I'm sure he'll be asked about the fitness of a certain Thomas Partey, with whom the noises are now [...]
First and foremost - congrats to Bukayo Saka for being named the England men's player of the year for the second year running. It is an award that relates to the national team and so for me personally, I haven't paid too much attention to it, but kudos to him for picking up another award [...]
