It;s Monday, I think, and at some stage between now and midnight we'll get a team update from Mikel Arteta. By which time whatever I say now will probably be old news. So rather than look at what's going on with Arsenal, why don't we have a look at what we might face with Aston [...]
Before we get to the Arsenal of today, let's take a pause and reflect on the Arsenal of yesteryear, as one of our greatest ever players was awarded with a lifetime achievement award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Thierry Henry - my favourite ever player and a guy with whom I've been able [...]
After the final results from yesterday's 2pm kick offs was confirmed, I had a quick check in to see what the 'vibes' were like and to my surprise, there was a lot of doom and gloom going on amongst some corners of The Arsenal fanbase. I saw people saying it's City's title, that they'd win [...]
With Jurrien Timber the only concern for us last night in terms of injury worries, today becomes a bit of a quiet one, with a number of players playing today, including Big Gabi I suspect at The Emirates stadium, as we host the Selecao against Senegal. It's a bit of a Big Gabi fest in these [...]
It's easy to look towards the two headlines of Merino and the record-breaking back five from last night's ultimately comfortable 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, but I have to say that to a man, that Arsenal team showed what a confidence-laden side looks like from minute one yesterday. It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday and [...]
They talk about us as 'paranoid' as a fanbase. They say that we're so vocal and that we are the most conspiracy-driven collective of supporters. We're apparently the loudest when it comes to believing that we have it worse than any other team. But isn't that any wonder then, that when you get the likes [...]
Happy Friday folks - we all good? The Arsenal Women are, as they got back to winning ways with a 2-0 away win in Benfica, so hopefully that is a sign of a glorious Arsenal weekend ahead of a trip to Fulham on Saturday evening for the men's team. And as is my wont ahead [...]
I was too focused yesterday on what I wanted from the international break from an Arsenal perspective, that I didn't even talk about the stadium expansion that's been talked about for the last couple days, so as I try desperately to fill my thoughts and this blog on Arsenal stuff so I can avoid talking [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
It's the tie we all dreamed of, let's be honest: PortVale away in the third round of the League Cup at Vale Park. In all seriousness though, this is quite a nicetie for all involved. I couldn't remember the last time we went there, I had a feeling it was about 20 years ago and [...]
