I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]
Happy North London Derby Saturday folks. Well, I say 'happy', but when it's away to them, it's never really happy is it? We hate them, they hate us and aside from going to the Toilet Bowl two season's in a row and getting a win, that place has been a very unhappy hunting ground in the last [...]
So...I think that we're done now on these insufferable international breaks. And we have certainly suffered. First Calafiori, then Odegaard, but I think and hope that every other Arsenal player came through them and now we have the daunting task of picking up the pieces and assessing how we are going to go about preparing for the North [...]
I think I can speak for most Arsenal fans this morning when I say: International football can get in the f*cking bin. And then that bin can be thrown in the sea. Because you - like me I am sure - will be pretty cheesed off about the Martin Odegaard injury last night. He landed [...]
Ahh man it's a barren football wasteland out there right now. There is absolutely nothing anybody can say that would convince me that tonight's match between the Republic of Ireland and England is one worth getting invested in. I'm up in Northumberland and the Management's uncle is a Newcastle and England fan, so he'll probably [...]
What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]
Morning folks. Hope you're all good. Poor ol' Tomi, eh? Takehiro is not on tour with the rest of the squad over the next week and a bit because of a knee problem that some of the Arsenal journo's on the beat are saying relates to his knee. It means that he'll have two-to-three weeks [...]
Happy Saturday people, from a warm garden in the Algarve. Today I thought I'd have a think and muse about our forward line and, of allof the functions in our side, it's the one that is the most intriguing when you think about how the season unfolded. For the first half of the season I [...]
On Tuesday there were stories about Jorginho and his new deal, yesterday we had some noises about the potential of Arsenal listening to offers for Gabriel Jesus. You can tell we're rapidly approaching transfer silly season, can't you? I have my own thoughts on this, as you'd expect, but as with all of these things [...]
Happy Thursday folks. Hope you're all recovered from the emosh of Tuesday night's Champions League encounter? One thing that I didn't touch on yesterday when I was still pretty raging, was how the tie is so finely balanced, so I thought I'd jot down some initial thoughts on that now. I do think the impact of [...]
