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, [...]
It's finally a Premier League match day again for The Arsenal and I've got that usual feeling of butterflies in the stomach that occur in the morning of a game. All week I've been thinking about Brentford, I've listened to podcast previews, I've ruminated on how the match might unfold and in my head I've [...]
I think with that title I've made my thoughts about what we should do this evening very plain and clear!! Tonight we're back in action on the European stage and whilst it's not the stage we want - and probably deserve - it is an opportunity for some more midweek football and I have to [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Match Day! It's the most wonderful time, of the week... But also it can be the most nail biting time of the week and what with us already losing some players to injury, the Arsenal fanbase is going full Calculus to try to work out how we are going to [...]
Starting today’s blog the night before, as I’ve got an early start tomorrow/today because of a cousin who decided a 7am tee time was an acceptable approach to a round of golf on a Saturday morning. He’s a Spurs fan too, which probably explains it: they are all completely mentally unhinged. Anyway, as I say, [...]
Morning folks and happy match day to you. Well, hopefully it's a happy match day, because let's face it, if Arsenal lose today we'll all be grumpy as sin come full time, quite unbearable for our partners or family and generally have a crappy rest of the Saturday. So it's a 'happy match day' until [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing today then, eh? Feeling chipper ahead of the weekend action against Bournemouth? Little 'Scotty' Parker seemed to be in good spirits, as he had his press conference yesterday and said some lovely things about Mikel Arteta and his team for this season. He talked about how he thinks [...]
Match day! Before I go in to the nuances of the game today, as well as Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, please allow me to indulge in a bit of smugness, having spent an hour in Alan Smith's presence last night for the Same Old Arsenal podcast yesterday evening. We talked about a wealth of [...]
