A look at West Ham fan view, probabilities and the likelihood of lightning striking thrice

Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]

The familiar foe, but an unknown quantity: Olympiacos

It's match day two of the Champions League tonight and after Liverpool dropped points to Galatasaray and the Scum also dropped points to The WIFI password, it should serve as a telling reminder that just because we are in the Best League in the World (refereeing body aside), doesn't mean we have any God-given right to [...]

We have an opportunity at St James’ Park

We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]

Passive first halves and selection questions leave Arsenal with just a point against Man City

In the fullness of time a draw against Man City may not appear to be the worst result in the world. Indeed, when you get an equaliser in the dying ebbs of the game, it feels like more of a boost than it should. But given where City were, given how the game played out [...]

Can Arsenal hold serve and win at home to City?

This is a tough one today. I said I’m going to see it as I think it on Friday, referencing the weird ‘reverse psychology’ I try to put out into the world by feeling pessimistic in hopes of some reverse karma benefiting the Arsenal, but here I am this morning still trying to impact a [...]

Arsenal hit the wrong side of the fine margins

The overriding feeling I have this morning is one of frustration. Frustration that we didn't remove the hoodoo of not winning at Anfield. Frustration that we didn't make a solid first half a great second. Frustration at the injuries. Frustration at a prevailing media narrative that 'Arsenal got what they deserved', like we didn't cancel [...]

Keeping everyone happy at Arsenal

Happy Hincapie Saturday folks! Although Arteta was tight-lipped on that arrival, the Ornbomb has already dropped and it appears we're loan-optioning him for the season and clearly we'll drop the actual cash on Leverkusen's lap in the summer of 2026, which makes sense given that we probably don't have the cash lying around to make [...]

Even Arsenal fans don’t know how we’ll line up…

With it being Wednesday and still a good four days until the game against Liverpool, I've still been drinking in some of the Eze stuff, whilst also watching the odd tactical review of the game against Leeds. I said before that game that I thought it was difficult to know what Leeds team would turn [...]

Big squads and Ecuadorians

I thought about watching the Newcastle v Liverpool game, but ended up doing a BBQ instead and when we'd finished eating, I flicked on the TV to see Liverpool two-goals up and Newcastle down to ten men so I said to myself "no chance I'm watching the rest of that game" and switched it off [...]

An Un-Arteta-like performance, but grinding out a win can’t be sniffed at

There's two things you absolutely cannot do in life: Look a gift horse in the mouth Scoff at three points at Old Trafford There's plenty of time for us to all look at the performance, the individual clunkiness of some of the players and the fact that this felt like a very 'Un-Arteta'-like Arsenal performance, [...]
