When I penned my thoughts yesterday morning about how the game would be another difficult to break down Forest side, that we’d be up against a team who wanted to rapid transition counter and a side that would want us to have the ball, I don’t think I envisioned a first half that was quite [...]

Morning folks and back we are finally for another match day for The Arsenal. I tell you what, hasn't January felt a little sparse, eh? Owing of course to our FA Cup exit which has meant two rounds have gone on since we went out to Liverpool, we found ourselves with even more time for [...]

Here we are folks. A festive match day is upon us and just as I suspected, all of that excitement ahead of this top of the table clash against Liverpool this evening, has been replaced by a nervousness. And it is a top of the table clash this evening because depending on the result today, [...]

Given the games are coming thick and fast at the moment, no sooner had the euphoria of Tuesday's win settled down for me yesterday evening, I immediately started thinking about the challenge of Aston Villa ahead on Saturday. This was amplified when I saw that Villa were playing City at home in the evening and [...]

We're back to another match day people, and it's Champions League match day numero tres for the Arsenal squad, who travelled to Seville yesterday afternoon ahead of tonight's game against Sevilla FC. I gotta tell ya, I have absolutely no idea what we're going to get this evening. Usually I have a feeling one way [...]

Is less games the answer for football?

Morning Gooners and happy Monday to you. I was in the Algarve over the weekend and so didn't have much chance to pen any thoughts, but as it was an international weekend that kind of worked out well for me, because Eddie Nketiah first England appearance aside in the last 20 minutes of the friendly [...]

North London Derby day – the unknown quantity in Ange’s Tottenham

Here we are. The second worst fixture of the football calendar, from my perspective, with the away North London Derby easily being the worst. Despite the fact we have a good record at home, despite the fact some of my best memories are from NLD's of years gone by, I still hate the tension ahead [...]

Happy match day Gooners, hope we're all holding up well? It's the return to an unhappy hunting ground in recent years, as we take on Sean Dyche's Everton and for a team who hasn't exactly been one of the leading lights in the Premier League for many years, they have a surprisingly (and annoyingly) good [...]

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 [...]
