Having already done our job on Saturday, yesterday was a lovely day in which to watch Premier League football that didn't really have too much at stake and didn't actually impact us that massively. Liverpool and City had both won on Saturday like us, so I had mild desire to see the likes of Chelsea, [...]
Yesterday's 3-1 against Southampton had a real air of familiarity of it to me, following from last weekend's shenanigans: At home to a newly promoted opponent Expected to win and win comfortably Lovely weather 3pm kick off Opponent scoring and taking maximum chances from their minimum opportunities Arsenal pretty much dominant Late drama There were, [...]
It's another home match day today and it's the visit of the Saints and Aaron Ramsdale to The Emirates at three o'clock this afternoon, as we aim to continue our form going in to the international break. Yesterday I took a look at our opponents and the type of game we're likely to face, their [...]
Mikel Arteta will take to the stage today at London Colney for his pre match presser at some stage this Friday and ahead of that I thought I'd take a look at who we're up against tomorrow, in the shape of a newly promoted Southampton side, with a very familiar face about them in between [...]
As I went for my run this morning I was listening to my usual podcasts on all things The Arsenal (I usually get through two to three a week, mostly four or five depending on how much time I get to run with work in the way) and I was listening to one of them [...]
Last season I wrote about Arteta's archetypal 'perfect' game being against Brighton; it was complete dominance against a team who wanted to have possession of the football, wanted to control the narrative of the game on the ball and Arsenal allowed Brighton to create basically nothing. We got two goals, albeit slightly later than Arteta [...]
Here we go again folks - match day! This is a big one because it's PSG at home and I think I'm right in saying it is the first time we've faced PSG since they became one of the financially doped football clubs backed by an Arab state. We welcome them tonight for an 8pm [...]
You know how sometimes weird situations like history repeat themselves? I mentioned on the blog yesterday that The Management was coming with me to the game as I had a spare seat next to me. She'd been to the 5-2 against the Scum the first time around, then when she came the second time to the [...]
Here we are folks, it's a lovely day in London (albeit a little chilly), that most sacred of things in the shape of a 3pm kick off and I'm bringing The Management along to the game today in the seat next to me. As a hopefully advantageous twist of fate, the last time she rocked [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? First things first, congrats to the Arsenal Women who yesterday overcame their first-leg 1-0 defeat to Hacken to win 4-0 and secure Champions League football this season. No more painful memories of last season and Eidevall also referenced that the squad has been built for Champions League football, so [...]
