Happy Saturday, you wonderful humans. The countdown to kick off is well and truly underway now. Some will say that it properly starts after the World Cup, but for me with today being the final bit of friendly preparation for Mikel Arteta and his team ahead of West Ham in nine days time, this is [...]
Morning all! Back in Blighty after just over two weeks in the States and after a mammoth sleep to try to recover from jet lag, I've woken up this morning to that familiar feeling of butterflies in my stomach ahead of an Arsenal game. It's weird because I've known I'll be back home, watching the [...]
In San Francisco at the moment so if you are a regular reader of these here ramblings you’ll know it’s going to be a little random and sporadic when I post, as well as being at random times compared to what I normally do. Being away and busy has taken my mind off of The [...]
This evening could very well see Arsenal secure top spot in the Europa League Group stages with a win or a draw against PSV in Eindhoven and with Arsenal looking a little leggy at the weekend as a result of the volume of games (in my opinion), the game must represent somewhat of a conundrum [...]
With some more results yesterday going our way (Liverpool loss to Norwich and Chelsea and United dropping points), the opportunity for Arsenal to go even further from the chasing pack - City aside - in the Champions League spaces, is clear and obvious today. It’s a trip to a ground that has hardly been a [...]
It's match day, it's p*ssing it down, but I'm as excited as always to have The Arsenal playing this evening. Sure, it may be at a slightly irritating time - what with it being a 6pm kick off and therefore straight after work, but it is still an Arsenal match and that means hopefully an [...]
This is going to be really tough today. A lot tougher than I think I thought it would be, actually, because Leeds will want to come at us and hit us hard and fast and we need to be ready. They have had a week off to prepare for our arrival. They will have spent [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another match day, in this mental busy period of the season which, so far, has been rather a lot of fun for us. It’s a trip to Norway for the lads today and another one of those horrendously pesky 5.55pm kick offs that they have in the Europa League. Gotta [...]
I feel a little weird about today. Last weekend before the game I was a bundle of nerves. It was the North London derby, I feared the 'smash and grab' from the Scum, I wondered whether the media narrative would be overflowing with joy if they beat us; it felt like there was so much [...]
I bloody hate this fixture. People that say they look forward to it, they enjoy it, pah, I don't believe you. Don't get me wrong, when Arsenal have won in this fixture in the past, it is one of the great feelings of the season and particularly in an era in which, let's be honest, [...]
