There's no place better to start today than with the u-turn by Arsenal yesterday evening on the surcharge for ticket prices, announcing that they would not, on this occasion, enforce the charge for the Barcelona game. Funnily enough, I was actually halfway through a podcast talking about the issues of the surcharge and how it felt [...]
Today is Arsène's press conference and whilst I'd love to be able to be talking about football, I like many season ticket holders, have had the misfortune to receive an email from the club yesterday afternoon about the additional cash they will require me to fork out at the end of the season for the [...]
By now you've read plenty of match reports, probably seen the game either in the flesh or on TV, you've checked your social feeds a few times and you know all about what transpired last night. So there's no point in me giving you a blow-by-blow account of what happened at home to Southampton. Well, [...]
So after all the hype, all the over-the-top Sky Sports blustering, all of the pomp and everything being turned yellow, the transfer deadline day (no, I'm not capitalising it) turned out to be what it is every season: an exercise in how to get overexcited. I've got to tell you, I was glad we weren't [...]
After a couple of draws and a disappointing Sunday afternoon against Chelski, it was good to see Arsenal get back on the victory trail by overcoming a stubborn Burnley side yesterday afternoon, as well as get a decent look at some new and returning faces. As expected, Arsene made some changes to the squad and [...]
There's something comforting about a good, old-fashioned, 3pm FA Cup tie, isn't there? It's quintessentially English, I find, with bad weather normally thrown in to the mix too. We've certainly ticked all of today's boxes, as well as a a game against a lower league opposition in Burnley, who will probably be a Premier League [...]
Yesterday Arsène delivered his injury news update via the official site and, quite deliciously, it included confirmation that everyone bar Santi and Jack are back in training. So that's Rosicky, Welbeck and ahead of schedule our midfield destroyed Francis Coquelin. I can't tell you how pleased I am. Well, I can, via this blog, but [...]
I know it's the FA Cup this weekend, I inow it's an opportunity to bench our league campaign for a few days, but it is the league that keeps me awake at night. What's been keeping me awake is our poor form, but also the form of others, who have all picked up varying degrees [...]

As Mesut Özil hits the 100 appearance mark for The Arsenal, what better way to celebrate it by the media, than talking up a story about a buyback clause that Real Madrid insisted upon? Does such a clause exist? I'd be surprised. Arsenal don't tend to do those types of clauses unless they are the [...]
