Frustration felt as Arsenal slip up against Tottenham

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 [...]

North London Derby day – the unknown quantity in Ange’s Tottenham

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 [...]

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 [...]

What does change at the top mean for The Arsenal?

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 [...]

How do Arsenal overcome the Everton hoodoo?

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 [...]

How worried should we be about Thomas Partey’s injury?

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 [...]

Last gasp Arsenal do it again against United

By |2023-09-04T08:27:13+01:00September 4th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

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, [...]

Focus and control needed for Arsenal against transitional Man United

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. [...]
