What a way to start off a day - with bloody COVID. Well, at least Arsenal are away this weekend and so there is at least that up side that I'm not going to miss going to a game this weekend. It's scuppers a few socialising plans I have but such is life. I move [...]
As I said on last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, the one word that keeps ringing through my head both yesterday and this morning: Frustration. I'm frustrated at the performance. I'm frustrated at the injuries. I'm frustrated at the silly concession of our goals. I'm frustrated at the media narrative about how awesome this Postecoglou [...]
Morning you lovely lot. Happy Wednesday from a tired Gooner hurtling his way towards central London on the Metropolitan Line for an all day strategy session. Could life get any more exciting, eh? Still, at least I'm not in Harry Maguire's position, because he can't get anything right, eh? I mean don't get me wrong, [...]
We're nearly there folks...closing down on exiting this interminable international break and we can get our focus back to Everton on Sunday, which will be a tough trip as it always is for us, having not won there in what feels like a bazillion years. Hopefully we'll also have the benefit of having Gabriel back [...]
The beauty about such a fabulous result as we got at the weekend, is that when it comes just before we all have to endure an international break, we can live through that results and string out the joy for a little bit longer than we normally would. For me personally, for example, I'd usually [...]
Had a bit of a heavy one in Richmond yesterday evening for a friends birthday party, so today’s ramblings will probably be more incoherent than usual, but let’s give it a go at previewing today’s game at the Emirates against United, shall we? Firstly, some form of prediction. I think we’ll get a draw today. [...]
Howdy folks, how we all doing? Good? I've come down with a bloody cold, which is a bit annoying given I'm due to be flying to Berlin for a cheeky weekend away with the wife tomorrow night. Hopefully I've shifted it for tomorrow though. In the meantime, let's have a pause and a sad face [...]
I want to talk more about Arsenal related stuff and I of course will do that today, but before that let's take a moment to recognise the incompetence of the refereeing in last night's game at Old Trafford. Quite how Simon Hooper and his VAR officials didn't come to a conclusion that Wolves should have [...]
We won the Emirates Cup! Arteta has done it again! Of course I'm being a bit flippant and, unlike Richarlison, you could see when Martin Odegaard lifted the trophy last night by the way he looked so sheepish that this is hardly the 'big prize' that we were after, but I suppose a win is [...]
In my work life I have to podcast. It is not as much fun as talking about The Arsenal but I do enjoy it. So when you have to record a podcast and you've lost your voice, it really does throw a spanner in the works. Anyhoo, back to The Arsenal, who were generous enough [...]
