The Arsenal Women provided the dosage of Arsenal football for many Gooners yesterday, albeit through the lens of a somewhat underwhelming 1-0 win over Brighton at home I hear. I say that mainly because I was out and about so couldn't watch the game, but I kept track on my phone and with Chelsea already [...]

Mikel Merino and the ‘horses for courses’ debate

How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]

Word of the day after Arsenal win: Routine

I watched the Chelsea versus Liverpool game on the tube home from The Arsenal last night, then finished off the second half in my kitchen as I cooked a big juicy ribeye steak and as well as being the result we all wanted, the game itself was a proper good game of basketball football. Liverpool [...]

Solving the low block problem: Why Arsenal need to be quicker against West Ham

Matchday Saturday, a 3pm kick-off, a game in which you'd normally be expecting Arsenal to pick up all three points against a struggling West Ham side and yet, here we all are, a little nervous about history repeating itself. Mikel was asked yesterday what he felt about the fact that Arsenal had lost 50% of [...]

A look at West Ham fan view, probabilities and the likelihood of lightning striking thrice

Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]

The familiar foe, but an unknown quantity: Olympiacos

It's match day two of the Champions League tonight and after Liverpool dropped points to Galatasaray and the Scum also dropped points to The WIFI password, it should serve as a telling reminder that just because we are in the Best League in the World (refereeing body aside), doesn't mean we have any God-given right to [...]

A week is a long time in football – sometimes that’s not long enough

By |2025-09-30T08:13:21+01:00September 30th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Champions League, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

It's funny how the rapid nature of football ('A week is a long time..' and all that) can work for you and against you, isn't it? I went to bed last night and as I started to drift off, I was thinking about what a big and positive result the game on Sunday was, because [...]

Arsenal overcome controversy to stake an early claim in the title race against Newcastle

Where to even start after yesterday, eh? I think I want to be broadly positive today, because when you snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat with a last minute goal in extra time, then you have to be feeling positive rather than dwell on some of the negatives. So I'm going to get [...]

We have an opportunity at St James’ Park

We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]

Arteta’s reference of Barcelona could be telling for Newcastle trip tomorrow

Happy Saturday folks, hope you're doing well and after Mikel Arteta all but confirmed what we were talking about yesterday re: Saliba, that's one positive we can all take about the official announcement that the Frenchman will remain with us for a fair old dose of time yet. I liked what Arteta said about how [...]
