Morning, boys and girls, hope you're all well. Yesterday I was waxing lyrical about Mikel Arteta's new deal, and in that blog I talked about how we need to start looking at Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice next. Well, wouldn't you just know it, but Tuesday and yesterday's news started emerging about just that. Declan [...]
Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name, While there's no proper football, Arteta's contract announcement is the name of the game. Alright, it doesn't quite work, but it was the first thing that popped into my head as I started penning today's musings. And it's a big deal. Both literally and figuratively, because [...]
I don't know about you, but given what happened last weekend, I was hoping that the desire to talk about something else - even England - would have kicked in a little more by now. I'm going to try to give it a go, but whether I'll be able to hit my normal 1,000 words [...]
That was the worst Arsenal performance I've seen in nearly two years. It was so bad that I'd describe my feelings as stunned rather than ragingly angry. Arsenal put in the kind of display yesterday that makes me think that they all went out on the lash on Friday night. Passing was off, movement wasn't [...]
I know we're playing later, so this schadenfreude might age like four-day-old milk being left out on the back patio in summer, but man, it's funny to laugh at Chelsea. I was doing other things last night, so I only checked in and out on the game, but seeing them drop a 3-0 away to Brentford [...]
How is it Friday already? This is what happens when The Arsenal play - and play well - in midweek. The weekend comes around, and you're like, "blimey, that hit us quick, eh?" I guess we're also at the stage in the season where it isn't a grind. The season is still fresh, young, in [...]
I do not want to hear another word from rival fans - City in particular - about how Arsenal 'get all the decisions' or 'have ProRef in their pockets' after what I witnessed yesterday. "ProRef"....ha! If that isn't the most ironic rebrand you've ever seen... That decision by the VAR yesterday was as bad as [...]
Happy Friday, boys and girls. I hope wherever you are, you enjoy the end of the working week, or if you still have to work tomorrow anyway, you at least get the 'Friday vibes'. Not least because The Arsenal play tomorrow. It's a trip up to the Stadium of Light to play Sunderland, who last [...]
I have to tell you, I am LOVING the hypocrisy of some of the online Chelsea fandom right now, LOVING it I tells ya. 10 months ago we went to Stamford Bridge, and we saw Cucurella go in on Saka time and time again. We saw Fofana leave one or two in on Arsenal players. [...]
Before a ball was kicked yesterday, I went for a walk with The Management, and she asked, "How are you feeling about this one? The usual nerves?" My response was that no, I actually felt fine. I did. It was a strange feeling not to have the butterflies in my stomach as I wrote the [...]
