It's match day in North London today! And that brings with it equal measures of excitement and trepidation. Always has, always will, but come 3pm Arteta and his players need to be ready to step up and do the business against a Fulham team smarting from a home 3-0 defeat last weekend against Brentford, as [...]
Well now, it seems to be some movement going on at London Colney, as we reach the 'one week and counting' part of the summer transfer window. It is the curse - or gift depending on how you see it - of this blogger that I spent half an hour yesterday writing about how we [...]
Morning all, hope we're all ok on this Thursday in August? It was good getting the business done earlier, eh? I remember too many times getting to the last week of the window thinking "nope, we're still too short, they HACE to do something soon". Of course quite often it would be leaving it until [...]
On last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast we had a fair bit of time dedicated to the refereeing from Monday night and, of course, most people in the chatroom and ourselves shared a level of frustration with the way some of the decisions played out. I'm not going to pick at a wound that will [...]
You know football is back when you look at the heart rate monitor and see that because of your elevated beats per minute, you've been fat burning on a Monday night from about 9pm onwards, despite sitting on your sofa.

It's match day number two for us this evening as the footballing authorities saw fit to turn this game against Palace to a Monday night one under the lights for something like the fourth or fifth time in a row I think (I haven't bothered to check that). That's because they want an upset and [...]
Greetings from a very warm Germany, Berlin, to be precise. the Management and I are doing a cheeky weekend in Deutschland so I can brush up on me German and take in some of the sights of a City that we’ve never been to before. It’s what you get when you are able to be [...]
Happy Friday Gooners. It's one of those weird Friday's where we have ourselves some words from the manager, but we don't actually play this weekend, instead having to wait until Monday night before our match week two begins. In some ways for me personally that's a good thing. I'm flying off to Berlin tonight for [...]
Howdy folks, how we all doing? Good? I've come down with a bloody cold, which is a bit annoying given I'm due to be flying to Berlin for a cheeky weekend away with the wife tomorrow night. Hopefully I've shifted it for tomorrow though. In the meantime, let's have a pause and a sad face [...]
Yo yo Gooners, y'alreet? Just getting in to the lingo for KT's move to Newcastle, as apparently they're 'back in the hunt' for the full back. The supposed reason they haven't already gone in for him - given they are looking at signing a left back - is that they want to ensure they are [...]
