Here we are folks - the final match day of the 2022/23 season. The expectations pivoted at some point from 'just get the Champions League spot' to 'become champions' and as such, today feels like a slightly sadder day than I was hoping it would be. But it is going to be a gloriously sunny [...]

Arsenal got a dog! (There may or may not be a football match today too….)

I'm a cat owner, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a loveable dog. And so when I saw that Mikel Arteta had hand selected himself a chocolate Labrador to roam the halls and fields of London Colney, I thought it was a great idea. The thought that there will be an affectionate pooch bounding [...]

Cor blimey I had a skin-full last night. Eurovision virtual party with the family and I decided the only way to get through it is to drink so much booze that walking upstairs to bed felt like a pilgrimage. **Makes noise like Sideshow Bob when he steps on all those rakes in The Simpsons** I [...]

Tough one for Arsenal at St James’ today

Greetings fellow Gooners from the temporary home of Flo Balogun: Reims. I’m here because The Management has always wanted to visit the champagne region and it is for that reason that I’ll probably only be temporarily checking in here for the next few days. But as an Arsenal-obsessive like you, our beloved team are never [...]

Start fast and get the first goal against Chelsea, Arsenal

Morning folks. It's another match day and after the last few that we've had, the old fears and nervous butterflies have crept their way back in to my stomach. About a month ago those things were more excitement than fears, because we were on a great run of form, playing good football, looking every bit [...]

Riding on ‘hope’ rather than ‘expectation’ for The Arsenal at City tonight

And so it comes down to this. This collective of Arsenal players have worked hard so much this season, they have led the table for so long, but unless the result goes in our favour on a ground in which we haven't won on in over eight years and have conceded 20 goals in that [...]

Show you want to be champions: beat the Saints, Arsenal

It’s match day tonight and, I’ll be completely honest with you not only am I worried that we might not deliver the kind of assured performance of a team that sits top of the league, but I’m also slightly concerned about our season longer term. That’s because Arteta had his press conference yesterday and confirmed [...]

Start fast and hopefully quieten West Ham down

Ahh man am I hungover. Started off with a stein at lunchtime and it slowly descended from there. So I’m feeling a bit fragile this morning. Don’t make my day worse Arsenal, please, I’m begging you. City made light work of Leicester City as we thought and so it means that if we want to [...]

Arsenal must stop the long Liverpool diagonals

When I woke up yesterday morning I thought to myself: “don’t bother about City; they smash Southampton (who are terrible), it’ll be all on us for tomorrow, the media narrative will be set, just prepare for it”. But as much as you can tell yourself that, as much as you know what will happen, there [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday - match day! - and it is, as Martin Odegaard would put it, the first of our remaining ten 'cup finals' that we must overcome if we want to be champions of this here league. This is where it gets tough. This is where every game is going to [...]
