Talk about a variation of emotions from the start, middle and ending of a football match, eh? On about 75 minutes Amanda messaged me and asked whether to bother with doing a post match Same Old Arsenal podcast. It'd been a pretty turgid game, punctuated only with the occasional bright spark from eventual man of [...]
Morning folks. It's matchday again! After a ten day hiatus, The Arsenal are back, the nerves are back, the trepidation remains and the trip to Leicester - whilst ordinarily I'd see it as an opportunity to potentially rack up some goals given their position and form - that is fraught with concern given our attacking [...]
Ok Leo, all eyes on you now mate. I know you've looked a bit sullen at times, Arteta has talked about how you don't like it when you're not playing, so now is your chance to shine because you are basically going to play every possible game between now and the end of the season. [...]
Yesterday I was writing about the rotten luck we've had this season in the wake of the Kai Havertz rumours. It felt like we couldn't get any more bad luck this season, the level we've had from pretty much August onward, but then I forgot the propensity of the footballing gods to keep on battering [...]
If Arsenal needed to bet it's house on something, you'd probably bet the exact opposite of whatever they do, right? "All on red for us" "Erm....yeah, i'll take black please..."

Morning folks and welcome to an Arsenal-less Saturday. But of course Arsenal being Arsenal and this season being what it is (cursed), of course the dust had barely settled before we learned of another injury setback. If we all thought that seeing Martinelli get on the plane in the Dubai warm weather training trip was [...]
The up side of playing this evening in the League Cup is that we find ourselves - well, I do anyway - quickly deviating away from the disappointment of TDD with a match in which suddenly there's a wee bit of optimism amongst the fanbase. It's odd because when the first leg of this tie [...]
Man, that felt good yesterday, didn’t it? After all of the hand-wringing about our lack of signings this month, after what felt like a very barren beginning of the year with us profligate in front of goal and virtually out of the two domestic cups, Arsenal turned up on a cold London February afternoon and [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the weekend, in which we face yet another massive game tomorrow, so yesterday and today becomes all about the build up to that. Although having said that I do think the Villa situation is interesting. I listened to the Arsenal Vision podcast yesterday whilst out on a walk and I [...]
Let's all give an extremely slow and sarcastic clap to the FA today folks, after they decided to charge Arsenal for its players' conduct after the sending off of Myles Lewis-Skelly last weekend. So let's get this straight. The dismissal was ruled to be incorrect, which is why the Arsenal players were furious, the response [...]
