In yesterday's blog I wrote about how I wanted Arsenal to lay down a marker in anticipation for next season. I referenced the first win of the Invincibles run, which was an end of season 6-1 hammering of Southampton and I said that I hoped that the lads would go out there and deliver a [...]
So the final press conference of the season was done yesterday, coinciding with the launch of the new home kit for next season, in which the club released a bunch of new social media and press about it to generate plenty of online chatter. On the kit, personally, I might give it a miss next [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the last Friday of the season. My plan for this weekend is to try not to labour myself too much in thinking about 'what could have been', but Mikel Arteta will take to the press room at London Colney for the last time this season and he'll no doubt have [...]
Morning folks - a happy Thursday to thee. Hope we're all good? There was a good interview by Arteta on the official site yesterday that is worth a check in on. He's clearly gearing up on a big summer and called on the club to do a 'reset' before we go again next season. I [...]
I didn't get around to penning some thoughts yesterday because I was at the hospital for a check up on a dicky wrist, but in the evening last night the guys and I chewed the fat on the Same Old Arsenal pod in which we discussed the Nottingham Forest game, which I found really hard [...]
Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]
I'm a cat owner, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a loveable dog. And so when I saw that Mikel Arteta had hand selected himself a chocolate Labrador to roam the halls and fields of London Colney, I thought it was a great idea. The thought that there will be an affectionate pooch bounding [...]
It would have had to have been a very cold day in hell for me to have watched Man City smash Real Madrid last night. The fact they did gave me about 1% feeling of "well, they've just tonked the European Champions, so perhaps the inevitable was going to happen for us. In my attempt [...]
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 [...]
Still feeling it a little bit after the game on Sunday. How about you? Even the catharsis of doing the pod last night hasn't helped to get me over the defeat to Brighton. I said on the pod that my football hangover cure was to avoid social media for a bit and that I did, [...]
