Morning folks and welcome to another match day, in this mental busy period of the season which, so far, has been rather a lot of fun for us. It’s a trip to Norway for the lads today and another one of those horrendously pesky 5.55pm kick offs that they have in the Europa League. Gotta [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing today then? How we all feeling? I'm feeling pretty good, although I have to admit to a fair bit of frustration today, which is of course English media related. Honestly, have you ever seen a club with so many people prepared to defend whatever they do and find excuses [...]
The good vibes just keep on coming this season and yesterday evening, under the fading light of the October sky, The Arsenal knocked down another one of those media narratives that had plagued us in recent years: "Can't beat the truly top teams like Liverpool or Man City" Oh yes we can. Oh yes we [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
