Morning folks and happy Friday! Hope yours goes off with a bang and you have plenty of enjoyable things happen during it. And at least you can celebrate an Arsenal victory in the Europa League last night, which was effectively confirmed away to Rapid Vienna, after some initial discomfort I have to say. Mikel Arteta [...]
Ahh man, do I feel frustrated this morning, after that result yesterday. Going up to Man City and being in the game, losing by the odd goal, is nothing to be ashamed of. But I can't help but think there was a real element of us not rolling the dice at times yesterday against last [...]
After seeing what unfolded yesterday in most of the other games, there's something very satisfying about a relatively 'normal' victory over a disciplined Sheffield United side, like we got at home yesterday lunchtime. United were a travesty and Liverpool just forgot who they were, whereas Leicester also had an off day against West Ham so [...]
Morning all. Perhaps a slightly provocative headline for today's blog, but waking up this morning and just before I went to bed last night, that's what went through my mind when I tried to give the overall game some kind of one sentence analysis. Arsenal progressed through to the next round of the Carabao Cup [...]
Another win, another game in which we can take confidence from the team performance, another match in which Arteta is making his mark on this Arsenal team and we can all be happy about the fact that last night Arsenal progressed to the next round of the Carabao Cup. Even if the likelihood is another [...]
The season is underway and it is underway with three points and three goals from The Arsenal, without reply from Fulham at Craven Cottage, which makes for a lovely Sunday today in the English late summer sun. There’s something exciting brewing under Mikel Arteta and we are seeing that every week little by little. And [...]
We all know it’s a glorified friendly, but yesterday’s penalty shootout victory against Liverpool is still a nice little bonus to start the season and against a team with more prep time and who are clear favourites to win the league again, it was nice to see us competing throughout the game. We were spritely, [...]
This is going to be a fun blog to write today, because The Arsenal, we won the bloody cup! I am a happy man. Last season I felt broken after that Europa League final. It really hit me hard and had knock in effects this season, even affecting my ability to become optimistic and hopeful [...]
The best part about yesterday's 3-2 victory over Watford was when Mike Dean put his whistle to his lips and called time on this latest Premier League season. I have been on this earth for 37-and-a-half years and as far as I can remember this has been one of the worst that I've had to [...]
Well if that wasn't the crappy Yin to last weekend's fantastic Yang... Are we not allowed to have nice things? Are we not allowed to bask in the glory of a really resolute and fantastic performance? Because it feels like it with this Arsenal side. As brilliant as they were against Man City, yesterday they were as [...]
