It's the big one today, folks. The Champions League Final. Arsenal play PSG, the side that vanquished us in the semi-final last season over two legs. It's the 'game of your lifetime'. Last season I actually went into the semi-final in a pretty confident mood. We'd beaten PSG pretty well at home, we'd already managed [...]
This midweek has felt like a weird one. There haven't been a ton of things to say, in all honesty; we've all been basking in the reflective glow of the Premier League title win, whilst also feeling a little weird that we have an arguably bigger prize in just two days' time. But as the [...]
After a big win, I usually say things like "let the basking continue" or thereabouts. If we beat a Chelsea, or a Liverpool, City, etc - you feel like you can bathe in the radiant glow of victory. Even though they have been a tragic side this season, beating the Scum in the North London [...]
Yesterday was about joy. It was about the feeling. What it meant after so long. We did a 'vibes' pod on the Same Old Arsenal after work that leaned into that. I got some literal 'receipts' from my drawers to illustrate a point about all of those rival fans and pundits that called us bottlers [...]
I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Why? Because I was deliberating over whether or not to even apply for the ballot for the Champions League final. How mental is that? I am a season ticket holder. I have been going for decades and have been a season ticket holder for nearly two [...]
There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone's life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation - loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the [...]
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 [...]
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 almost feel guilty for what I am about to write. I don't really feel massively nervous about tonight. It almost feels like a League Cup game. I suspect it is because I've been battered and bruised by the Premier League campaign that the Premier League is the 'one I want' the most, coupled with [...]
