Sometimes - but very rarely - I write the title of the blog before I've even jotted a word down on the page to compile my daily thoughts. Today is one of those days for sure. Bukayo Saka showed why he is England's best player last night. Bukayo Saka showed why Gareth Southgate appeasing Phil [...]
I don't feel nearly as crushed this morning than I thought I would. I suspect that's because for a while we all knew how the final day would play out. Man City had won nine in a row in the league and yesterday they played a West Ham side with nothing to play for and [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another Monday in which we can all celebrate that Arsenal have done it again; they've picked up three points on the road and that means that regardless of what happens tomorrow night between City and Spurs, we go in to the last game of the season with perhaps the smallest [...]
Well, that was a bloody load of fun, wasn’t it? Pre game I was nervous. I’ll hold my hands up to that. I didn’t know what kind of Chelsea we’d be up against. Pochettino said beforehand Palmer would be missing, that Gusto wouldn’t be there and that Chilwell wasn’t fit. I’ve heard that story before. [...]
Arsenal overcome Wolves to keep their title hopes alive in April 2024 with a 2-0 victory.
And so the Champions League run for The Arsenal comes to an end. Not with a bang, but sadly with a bit of a whimper, as Bayern saw out a tense affair in Munich by beating us 1-0 with that second half headed goal by Kimmich. It was a momentary lapse of concentration from our [...]
Yesterday was not a fun day. Yesterday a big chunk of hope that we might end the wait for a league title crumbled away. Yes, we are just two points off Man City and yes, there are a few games left still to play, but we aren't up against any other team. We all know [...]
I've calmed down a little bit from my initial rage at the final whistle last night. Calmed down, but still not completely calm, because that last moment of the game should have, I think, been a penalty on Bukayo Saka. Let me show my workings here on how I get this conclusion: Neuer makes clear [...]
This Arsenal team is REALLY good. Like, REALLY good you know. I was proper nervous about yesterday. Brighton have lost one game at home all season. Liverpool could only manage a draw. The Scum got beat there. Only West Ham have picked up maximum points at the Amex and even that was a smash and grab [...]
As I and many others predicted in the build up to this match, there would be no basketball-style game, leading to goals galore. Instead, this was every bit the chess match, played between two teams who are stylistically even matched and two managers who follow similar footballing philosophies. There was the inevitable chiding online from [...]
