That one was a tough one to take yesterday, because as Arteta put it after the game, we were the better team and should have put the ball in the back of the net. We knew what we would get last night. Under the lights, on TV, Villa playing well at home and currently on [...]
I'd be telling you a big fat festive Christmas fib if I didn't admit to being anything other than nervous about today's game at Villa Park. I've been reading a few bits online, I've been taking in some Arsenal podcasts, plus reading a few Villa blogs too. They are cautiously optimistic. They know that it [...]
Sometimes it's just good to start at the end and work backwards, which is what I think I'll do today, because last night as Declan Rice's 97th minute header hit the back of Luton's net, I let out a high pitch scream that woke the Management and the cat up from their slumbers in the [...]
Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]
Another Saturday 3pm match day: I could get used to this. It's Burnley at home at The Emirates today and this is one in which we want to send the international boys off to their respective countries with a swing in their step and another three points on the board. In year's gone by the [...]
If you're going to describe the perfectly professional football match in the Champions League, you'd be hard pressed to describe it any better than how last night's 2-0 win against Sevilla played out. Even the score line itself looks like a comfortable one. A 1-0 result makes you think "ooh, it only takes one corner, [...]
I think tonight might be a little trickier than some people might think. Going away to Sevilla and getting the result was good, but for some it might add a false sense of security on the outcome of tonight's match, particularly given our injury problems as it stands. No Timber, no Partey, no Smith Rowe, [...]
Turns out that going Invincible isn't for everyone, eh? Well, if you're going to play that high a line against any Premier League side whilst down to ten men, then you absolutely get what you deserve. But I'll speak no more about them today I think, instead reflecting on what it means for us, because [...]
There is very little to be happy about this morning after that defeat at St James' Park last night. Very little indeed. Firstly, Arsenal simply did not do enough to win this game. Another key cog in our team was taken out pre match with the absence of Martin Odegaard and in his place we [...]
That was a pretty miserable night last night, if truth be told. I made the schlep all the way to the other side of London, to that soulless bowl of a stadium, having had to virtually sprint at every stage coming from West London as I had an over-running work event that I had to [...]
