There was a very clear 'sliding doors' moment in our victory against Man United yesterday. Clear to me, anyway. As Bruno Fernandes stepped up to take United's penalty after a silly handball by Tavares in the second half, it felt like United had the momentum, they were pinning us back and if they scored that [...]
Arsenal victorious against a Chelsea team in the Premier League, April 2022.
Yesterday's defeat was painful in so many ways. It was painful because the Scum had given us an opportunity to draw level and we didn't take it. Its was painful because it was obvious to see that Southampton were not very good. It was painful because we picked the right starting line up in my [...]
I feared last night's game. I feared the intensity of Palace, I feared them hitting us on the counter, I feared the pressure getting to our players, I feared that one or two sub par performances could cause us issues. We didn't get one or two though. We got a full 11 poor performances. Last [...]
I described last night's game as a 'free hit' beforehand and, as much as I was prepared to lose the game against I think kthe best team in the world right now, it still hurts when the truth like that becomes reality. We can certainly take some solace in the performance and when you look [...]
Yesterday I wrote about how I feared that Leicester would hit us on the counter. I wrote about being super nervous for this game because I thought we would get a match similar in frustration to the game last year; not taking our chances and sucker-punched by a goal on the counter by the likes [...]
That felt like a strange old game yesterday away to Watford. Strange and ultimately good, but still unusual, in terms of how the match evolved and then finished. Yesterday morning I wrote that I didn't think Watford would be pushovers; they don't score a lot of goals but Roy Hodgson is a manager who has [...]
Hey hey people, how are we all feeling? Good? I know I am! And we all know why. Because there is nothing better than a last minute winner in stoppage time. Wowsers, what a rush that was on the whistle, eh? I let out such a guttural yell that my throat went in to spasm. [...]
In the build up to the game in the pub beforehand, I was with Andrew, Neil and Jason and I spoke to the guys about how much I wanted the revenge for the first game of the season. Brentford caught us out with a physical display, on opening day, with players missing and then afterwards [...]
That was a big, BIG, result last night for The Arsenal. Make no mistake about it, it was hard fought, hard earned and even with a fair dose of perceived injustice for us, that felt like it could potentially have a bearing on our season. If somehow we manage to keep our best players on [...]
