As I said on last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, the one word that keeps ringing through my head both yesterday and this morning: Frustration. I'm frustrated at the performance. I'm frustrated at the injuries. I'm frustrated at the silly concession of our goals. I'm frustrated at the media narrative about how awesome this Postecoglou [...]
Here we are. The second worst fixture of the football calendar, from my perspective, with the away North London Derby easily being the worst. Despite the fact we have a good record at home, despite the fact some of my best memories are from NLD's of years gone by, I still hate the tension ahead [...]
I had a stinking hangover yesterday after a company all-day conference on Thursday and so wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to do anything, let alone blog, but I'm back and feeling refershed this morning and what a good job too, because there is so much to talk about ahead of the North [...]
I hope like me you too are very happy to get that monkey off of our back in the shape of the Everton hoodoo. It had been on there far too long, had resulted in far too many crazy results and, up until we scored in the second half, was really starting to feel like [...]
Happy match day Gooners, hope we're all holding up well? It's the return to an unhappy hunting ground in recent years, as we take on Sean Dyche's Everton and for a team who hasn't exactly been one of the leading lights in the Premier League for many years, they have a surprisingly (and annoyingly) good [...]
Interesting old development that came out yesterday regarding Vinai Venkatesham leaving Arsenal in the summer of next year, eh? I don't normally concern myself with the boardroom stuff as I'm not sure that it really matters too much in terms of the immediate future on the pitch and I don't tend to think about Arsenal [...]
I suspect this might be a short one today, as all is quiet and the calm before the content storm pre Everton starts to envelope us from tomorrow with Mikel's press conference probably happen at some stage then. But as we hurtle towards the weekend, thoughts turn to the away day trip to Everton for [...]
The beauty about such a fabulous result as we got at the weekend, is that when it comes just before we all have to endure an international break, we can live through that results and string out the joy for a little bit longer than we normally would. For me personally, for example, I'd usually [...]
There's no other place to start today other than that super ending to a dramatic day and it is yet another injury time winner - or couple of winners - that sent us all in to dreamland at the Emirates against Man United. I'll go through the chronology of the day yesterday in a bit, [...]
Had a bit of a heavy one in Richmond yesterday evening for a friends birthday party, so today’s ramblings will probably be more incoherent than usual, but let’s give it a go at previewing today’s game at the Emirates against United, shall we? Firstly, some form of prediction. I think we’ll get a draw today. [...]
