When David Ornstein dropped his latest Ornbomb (see below) about how Arsenal had no intention of selling Emile Smith Rowe this summer, there were a fair few members of the online community that I follow who expressed a wee bit of surprise. Positive surprise, but surprise nonetheless. He's a popular player, he's one of our [...]
If most Arsenal fans would have read that Leverkusen were buying Granit Xhaka for £13million in the summer of last year, I think a big chunk of Arsenal fans would have been absolutely fine with it. For me he's always been a talented player that I think has improved steadily under Arteta, so I'm not [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Quite often when I write my daily ramblings I just start typing without really knowing what the title of the blog will be. Usually it just comes to me as I draw my final conclusions. But today is different in that I've started with the title and I'm working my way from there. That's because [...]
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 [...]
I don't know about you guys, but when I saw that Thomas Partey was an unused substitute in the game against Angola yesterday evening, my initial thought was of relief. After all, if he's made the bench, then he must be available to be used, right? I mean, otherwise if he isn't fit to play [...]
Happy Monday to you lovely Gooners. How we all doing today? I see that the media love-in for Man United has started. They waxed lyrical throughout the League Cup final and then afterwards too, as United celebrated their first cup in six years. Apparently this is going to spearhead them to inevitable glory now. We [...]
I said yesterday with a brash tone "they're sure to have a press conference today as I would imagine they'll be travelling up to Everton on Friday given the game is a 12.30pm kick off on Saturday". So of course there was no such presser, once again proving that a) I know absolutely nothing about [...]
