I didn't watch the Villa-United game yesterday, but I suspected Villa might win it and when you look at that winning run, you have to say 'fair f*cks' to those players and Unai. Morgan Rogers is in the form of his life for Villa and that is propelling them forward as we speak. Then, on [...]
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 [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Wednesday. We'll be on day two of the training sessions for the team and yesterday pictures emerged of day one, which included players missing like Havertz and Gabriel as we'd expect, but not Martin Zubimendi. Apparently he was training indoors as the club try to manage his load management which, [...]
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 [...]
Didn't manage to compile some thoughts on Villa, what the pundits are saying and also how they play under Unai Emery this season, before the managers did their press conferences. But a lot of what unfolded yesterday with the pressers was kind of pushed to the background when, yesterday afternoon, Sami Mokbel broke the news [...]
That was one of those ‘on paper’ routine nights, wasn’t it? Arsenal had a job to do. They needed to avoid a banana skin. They needed to de-risk the whole evening. They needed to make this a perfunctory three points. Brentford are not a team to be trifled with. Yes, they have a pretty shoddy [...]
Howdy folks, hope we're all good? I thought that the catharsis of the Same Old Arsenal pod last night with James and Amanda would help me to understand my feelings over that Chelsea result, but I'm still no nearer to breaking it down. I think that's because City ultimately beat Leeds and so it feels [...]
Even though the match ended over 12 hours ago and I have had time to digest the result and going's on in the 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, I'm still not sure how I feel about it, you know. At the beginning of the day if you'd have offered me a draw I'd have taken [...]
So the good news from the press conference yesterday appears to be that despite coming off injured in midweek against Bayern, Leo appears to be fit, as confirmed by Mikel when doing his pre-Chelsea chat to the assembled media. That's a relief. Considering just how impressive he's been for us this season, losing him at [...]
Having spent the whole week lamenting the massive injury crisis that surrounds the North London Derby this weekend, both Arsenal fans and them got a bit more of an inkling as to how actually it's not all as bad as it seemed over the international break. If you look at the Premier League injury table during the [...]
