Morning folks. Another Thursday rolls around. I swear these week's are just blending in to one. How are we coming up to a quarter of the way through the year already? I know we all want this current time of lockdown to get in the sea, but it does feel like you're wishing your life [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the middle of a non-Arsenal playing midweek. Isn't it just fascinating to see what unfolds in the media when there isn't some kind of mini crisis that is going on at The Arsenal, eh? After an impressive win against a team who are in the Champions League spots, there isn't [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. Ahh, a full week in which Arteta can prep his team for Burnley, in which we can still feel the positive vibes from the win against Leicester, a week in which the grumpiness and vitriol online should be kept to a minimum. Or at least you'd hope. It is [...]
Happy Saturday folks. I don't know what it is that meant that I couldn't sleep first thing this morning, but I find myself up at 6.30am on a Saturday, and I can tell you I do not like that one bit. I think I must have had plenty on my mind because I've got a [...]
Oh Arsenal, you do make me age, quite significantly I can tell you. With just over an hour gone I had come to the grim acceptance that our season was effectively over before March had even begun. We were down 2-1 to Benfica, 3-2 on aggregate, needing another two goals in the game to put [...]
So here we are folks. This will either be the latest in a number of important match days for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team this season, or it will be the last meaningful match day for Arsenal, as we take on Olympiak......sorry....Benfica....in Athens to progress to the next stage of the Europa League and [...]
Today feels like it should be a good day. I've woken up to the sun shining here in London, birds tweeting, as well as a bit more of a clearer indication as to when some normality returns to life again in England. Yesterday the Prime Minister made his statement about when he thinks the country [...]
We had ourselves a video update from the manager yesterday ahead of the home game against Man City on Sunday and, as expected, Mikel Arteta was more than happy to wax lyrical about the team he was coach at just over a year ago. Of course all the way up there in Manchester we also [...]
Before this game began I looked at Benfica, looked at some of the players they had - the likes of Ottamendi and Verthongen as well as Rafa and Everton - and I was bemoaning our bad luck in drawing quite a high profile team in the first knockout round of this competition. This morning I [...]
I don't know whether or not it is because I have the rest of my Sunday ahead of me and therefore plenty of other things to occupy me ahead of the game at 4.30pm later this afternoon, or that I have a stinking hangover and therefore my thought priorities are being monopolised by finding a [...]
