Morning all. We all good? Middle of the week for those of us who are Monday to Fridayers and it's a countdown to the final game of the pre season before the real stuff starts. It's Sevilla at home in the Emirates Cup and unlike previous renditions of the competition, it won't be a footballing [...]
Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you. I am counting down the days until I jet off to sunny climes for a week in the Algarve, that's for sure. At least Arsenal delivered a tasty morsel yesterday in the shape of winger Marquinhos from Sao Paolo. He's 19, he cost £3million and has played 33 [...]
Morning folks. Hope you’re all good? Did you watch the Champions League final last night? I didn’t. Last thing I wanted to see was a massive build up about how super amazing Liverpool are and how they’re the greatest side to have ever walked the planet. And yet having suffered defeat yesterday, their season has [...]
Thought I'd jump back in to the writing saddle this morning, having stepped away having had 11 days away from The Arsenal. That Newcastle defeat hit me hard. I have a natural defence mechanism as an Arsenal fan; I tend to think the most pessimistic outcome is the most likely one, then when it happens [...]
I've got to be completely frank with you, I absolutely cannot stand the North London Derby. There are people that say they look forward to it, that it is a great opportunity to do one over the old enemy and when it comes to the post match bliss after a win I can totally understand [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another Friday. We'll get a Mikel Arteta press conference today and the main question marks will be around who is fit, most notably Bukayo Saka, who Arteta admitted had been carrying a knock last weekend and came off in the win over Man United. Obviously from an Arsenal fan perspective [...]
Morning folks - a happy Wednesday bestowed upon thee from me. Hope you are fine and dandy at this midway point in the week? I went to an awards ceremony last night and so am feeling a little ropey if I'm brutally honest. However, I did get five minutes to chat football with a West [...]
I find it very difficult to watch the Champions League these days. The frustrations of seeing other teams progress when we haven't had a stab at it in so long is annoying and the fact that over the last 10 days or so we have - what feels to me like - probably lost our [...]
Morning folks. Hope you're having a good one? It's Tuesday morning of the Interlull week and let's be honest, this is when it gets the most tiresome, because we're still so far away from the proper football starting back up. There is also little news of particular interest from an Arsenal perspective and so we [...]
I only really got in to football at the age of seven/eight and with a mother and father not in to it (Dad was always more of a golf and cricket man to a lesser extent), I was late to the obsession compared to some of my school mates. So by the time Anfield 89 [...]
