The boy is well and truly back. Martin Odegaard, captain extrodinaire, leader, goalscorer, the metronome through which our creative play flows, showed everyone watching last night just what you get when he is fully fit, in form, and able to deliver in the final third of the pitch. 121 touches in total, drifting over to that right-hand [...]
We're back with Champions League football tonight, and it's a visit to Napoli in my favourite city in Italy for those travelling Arsenal players and fans. Of course the problem with Naples is that it's also a dodgy as hell in parts, and I've seen warnings about sticking to hotel bars if you're English, but [...]
So...we have our first signing through the door for this summer. Well, 'NEW'new signing, as Hincapie was done and just needed paperwork and an official confirmation. But yes, it's Illan Meslier who becomes Arsenal's first new face through the doors at London Colney, and he said some nice things on the official site. Plenty of [...]
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 [...]
