I watched the Man City game yesterday until Haaland scored their second goal, before switching off, so I've seen Bernardo Silva punching Brentford defender Collins. I missed the DOGSO with Nunes on Schade, but I'm not surprised - PGMOL have consistently shown that some teams get more of the rub of the green than others. [...]
It's Friday, it's the start of the weekend (nearly), and it's West Ham on Sunday, knowing that by the time we kick off, we'll know if Brentford have gotten anything from Man City for the 5.30 pm kick off (they won't). So, what of West Ham then, eh? Well, there are plenty of Arsenal fans [...]
I’ll be honest, I had ‘hopes’ that Everton could get something at home to 115 Charges FC, but I don’t think there was much expectation there. City were on a good run of form, they’ve wine their last three Premier League games, as well as beating us in the League Cup and getting to the [...]
As is our situation right now, you, like I, no doubt, have a very nervous feeling in the stomach. We've been living this way for months, truth be told, so whilst this feeling of dread ahead of every Arsenal game is not new, it doesn't get any easier. I read comments like "Fulham have never [...]
Here we go again. Back at it with the nerves and stress of the Premier League tomorrow, with the managers due to meet the press today and give their updates. As Shakespeare once said in Henry V: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more" It's a grind right now, eh? But a lot [...]
I almost feel guilty for what I am about to write. I don't really feel massively nervous about tonight. It almost feels like a League Cup game. I suspect it is because I've been battered and bruised by the Premier League campaign that the Premier League is the 'one I want' the most, coupled with [...]
I haven't slept well at all this week. Some of it, admittedly, is related to stuff happening at my work, but more of it is related to what happens this afternoon. This could be the biggest game for Arsenal football club in over two decades. In 2022/23, we had to go to the City and [...]
So the managers have now had their say. And with that, we have from both of them the following: Mikel Arteta Perspective before performance - Mikel started with humanity. A reminder that context matters, and that leadership isn’t just about the next result - it’s about grounding people before asking more of them. Adaptability [...]
I need to obviously talk about this massive game against Sporting Lisbon tonight at The Emirates, but before I do that, I just need to tell you about a dream I had last night. We had to play Jack Wilshere's Luton Town in the Premier League, which was a prize they won for winning the [...]
I loved his comment in the press conference yesterday: The players know it, our supporters know it, it's an early kick-off, so get up early, have an early breakfast, bring your lunch, bring your dinner, and let's all go together for it because it has to be a big day. I went out and had [...]
