I'm super nervous about today, lads and lasses, super nervous indeed. I think the reason why is because I fear what Leicester can do to us on the counter attack. They feel to me like a team absolutely geared up to smash and grab us and whilst their defence is nowhere near as resolute as [...]
Mikel had his press conference yesterday and of course the natural course of events is to first find out about the team news. The good is that Emile Smith Rowe is back having trained a couple of times after contracting COVID last week. The bad is there is still no sign of Tomiyasu. My biggest [...]
Yesterday I was chatting to Danny, Craig and Sulz on the Same old Arsenal podcast and we got to talking about who the next captain could be. Of course the conversation moved around a little bit, but the two outstanding characters that were mentioned were Kieran Tierney - a perfectly good choice I'd be more [...]
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 [...]
A Sunday matchday it is for us today and having seen West ham narrowly defeated yesterday, as well as Wolves going down 2-0 at home to Palace, a win away at Watford for Arsenal will go a long way to driving us towards that coveted Top Four spot. We are level on points with West [...]
Mikel Arteta is about six months older than me. I'm more fair-haired than he is, so my greys don't show as easily, but there's no way that he doesn't dye his hair, I don't believe it. And as for those white teeth, well, I can spot a bleacher when I see one. Anyhoo, on to [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Friday. The weekend approacheth and we have a London Colney Derby to look forward to on Sunday, as we travel to Watford knowing anything else other than victory will most likely set us back in our Champions League Top Four pursuit. Watford are managed under a wily old fox in [...]
It was a shame that Wolves couldn't at least muster a draw against West Ham yesterday, but if I'm going to look at the up side, it means a bit more daylight between us and them, with us five points clear of Wolves with two games in hand. West Ham knocked us out of fifth [...]
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. [...]
Last night I afforded myself a little post match fist bump after it was confirmed that the Scum had been beaten by Burnley, meaning four defeats out of their last five, but this morning I am back on the Wagon of Fear as it is Arsenal's turn to play one of their games in hand against [...]
