Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]
It's match day two of the Champions League tonight and after Liverpool dropped points to Galatasaray and the Scum also dropped points to The WIFI password, it should serve as a telling reminder that just because we are in the Best League in the World (refereeing body aside), doesn't mean we have any God-given right to [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
Happy Saturday folks, hope you're doing well and after Mikel Arteta all but confirmed what we were talking about yesterday re: Saliba, that's one positive we can all take about the official announcement that the Frenchman will remain with us for a fair old dose of time yet. I liked what Arteta said about how [...]
It's League Cup match day today and I don't know about you, but sometimes it's nice to not feel the pressure of the Premier League or Champions League and just 'watch' an Arsenal game, right? It's a little like the summer friendlies. You can watch, you can have your preferences for victory being The Arsenal, [...]
This is a tough one today. I said I’m going to see it as I think it on Friday, referencing the weird ‘reverse psychology’ I try to put out into the world by feeling pessimistic in hopes of some reverse karma benefiting the Arsenal, but here I am this morning still trying to impact a [...]
Yesterday morning I spoke of the fact that Forest could be a bit of a banana skin on account of the fact that we don't really know how they would play. In the fullness of time and with the benefit of hindsight, we can say that regardless of what they were going to do, this [...]
Here we are folks. It’s matchday. Like, a proper matchday, not like those fake match days that masquerade as if they’re matvhdays when in fact they’re international breaks. Oh how I have missed them. The nerves, the anticipation, the apprehension…it’s all here. Except…I’m at Heathrow as I type this, about to board a flight to [...]
It's match day folks and I've woken up with a bloody trapped nerve at the base of my spine. I hope it isn't a life metaphor for what we'll have to go through today, because it's bloody painful. Hopefully with some exercises and a bit of moving around it'll get freed up a bit. And [...]
It's Friday, it's press conference day, it'll be Mikel Arteta and hopefully when he's asked about Eberechi Eze at some stage, we get that Arsene Wenger pre-Ozil signing smile that has become so iconic over the years. We talked about the magnitude of it on the Same Old Arsenal podcast last night and I think [...]
