So last night we learned of our opponents in the next round of the FA Cup, with Wigan confirmed as the visitors to The Emirates in February, which brings back all kinds of memories for me. The first was that gawd-awful FA Cup semi-final in 2014. Going into it we were the favourites, we were [...]
I couldn't watch the game yesterday due to family commitments and a birthday celebration for The Management, which meant watching the game on replay and benefiting from knowing the result. It has its upside, in that you feel perfectly calm watching the game unfold, knowing that Arsenal have safely progressed and done so with plenty [...]
It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]
Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]
I mentioned it yesterday, I’ve kind of bitched about it a couple of times since the draw was made, but for yet another year we kick off with what is a really tough home game to Man United, in amongst a really tough run of fixtures this January, all whilst missing a few of our [...]
It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
Not having The Arsenal on this weekend meant a jeopardy-free weekend in terms of how I was feeling when looking at both Premier League and FA Cup games, but despite that, there were still a few preferred outcomes that I was looking for. In the Premier League, for example, Villa and the Scum dropping points [...]
At halftime of yesterday's game I stood in the concourse of the North Bank blowing warm air on to my hands. I was cold, but what I'd seen in terms of the way Arsenal had approached the game and outplayed Liverpool had warmed my heart. Arteta had made a few changes to mix things up [...]
It's FA Cup match day for The Arsenal and it's a home tie for us, as we bid to make it 15 times as FA Cup winners, a competition in which we are very familiar with and have won more than any other team in history. I don't know why, but whilst I do have [...]
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 [...]
