I feel a little weird about today. Last weekend before the game I was a bundle of nerves. It was the North London derby, I feared the 'smash and grab' from the Scum, I wondered whether the media narrative would be overflowing with joy if they beat us; it felt like there was so much [...]
Morning folks (just). Provocative title from me today, perhaps, but let me explain my workings. I do want to get to some of the things Mikel Arteta said yesterday in his press conference ahead of the Liverpool game, but before that I thought I'd share something that I was pondering this morning as I was [...]
With our next game of this hectic schedule taking place tomorrow evening in the Europa League, we're back into the swing of all the football in October pretty quickly, so I thought ahead of our next match, against the first opponent I've ever seen who seem to face an identity crisis in their team name, [...]
Morning fellow Gooners. Hope we are all still feeling splendid after the weekend's events? Well, those on Saturday, anyway, because that was where all the fun was to be had and last night I jumped on the Same Old Arsenal pod to wax lyrical about the North London Derby victory and it felt gooooooooood. I [...]
For as much as I hate the pre match build up to a North London Derby, the feeling of euphoria after a well deserved win is something that is unmatched at any other stage of the season. It’s like getting the greatest reward for your suffering and yesterday mornings suffering has certainly been rewarded with [...]
I bloody hate this fixture. People that say they look forward to it, they enjoy it, pah, I don't believe you. Don't get me wrong, when Arsenal have won in this fixture in the past, it is one of the great feelings of the season and particularly in an era in which, let's be honest, [...]
Hello, hello, hello, how are you doing today? Are you feeling chipper now that we're knocking down the doors of the North London Derby game on Saturday? I'm not. Hate this fixture more than anything else. Home or away, I hate it. The worry, the nerves, the stress, it all just builds until the moment [...]
The countdown feels like it truly commenceth today, my good friends. We are on T-minus three days and counting after today until the North London Derby and with the players all starting to make their way back to London Colney to be assessed on their fitness ahead of what is feeling - as always - [...]
Is there anything more mind-numbingly boring than the Monday after an international break? I'm not so sure there is. We had some of the WSL to entertain people and I've kept track of some of it, as I've mentioned, but much like youth football, or picking a 'local' team to watch, or even an overseas [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. I spent my Saturday doing all manner of jobs and then today i'm going to relax and enjoy a day of rest. I saw that the Arsenal ladies gave the Scum ladies a good ol' fashioned tonking and that's always good to hear. I've seen a couple of the [...]
