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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday was so very nearly the perfect footballing day. An arrival of a new signing and boyhood fan before the game, a thumping of a newly promoted side with the goals shared, your star striker off the mark, plus a debut for the 15-year-old wonderkid. Yep, yesterday could have had it all. Unfortunately for us [...]
It's match day folks and I've woken up with a bloody trapped nerve at the base of my spine. I hope it isn't a life metaphor for what we'll have to go through today, because it's bloody painful. Hopefully with some exercises and a bit of moving around it'll get freed up a bit. And [...]
It's Friday, it's press conference day, it'll be Mikel Arteta and hopefully when he's asked about Eberechi Eze at some stage, we get that Arsene Wenger pre-Ozil signing smile that has become so iconic over the years. We talked about the magnitude of it on the Same Old Arsenal podcast last night and I think [...]
Well, that was a whirlwind 24 hours as an Arsenal fan, wasn’t it? This time yesterday I was writing about the Trossard deal, trying to justify what felt like quite an odd move from the club, as it appeared as though we were unlikely to be doing any more business. I pondered over what we [...]
Happy Wednesday folks. We'll obviously get to the Trossard stuff, the Eze, as well as how the summer is playing out and the reaction of Arsenal fans to the news that Leo has his pay rise without an extension, but before that, how about what is unfolding with Newcastle and Alexander Isak this summer, eh? [...]
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, [...]
