Arteta's rally cry on Friday was that the fans needed to have a good breakfast, then "bring your lunch and your dinner", as the atmosphere needed to be an intense one, for a fixture time that was usually a bit muted. Well, having stood in Block Five yesterday, I will tell you this: Those Arsenal [...]
I loved his comment in the press conference yesterday: The players know it, our supporters know it, it's an early kick-off, so get up early, have an early breakfast, bring your lunch, bring your dinner, and let's all go together for it because it has to be a big day. I went out and had [...]
With Mikel Arteta and Andoni Iraola not due to speak to the press until this morning/lunchtime today, I'm left looking at training pics and videos to try to guess some team news, as well as looking at what the pundits are saying about this tough one tomorrow. Firstly, the training pics and team news, and [...]
I feel like the countdown to this huge Bournemouth game on Saturday lunchtime is well and truly on now. I remember talking about this one ahead of Southampton and Sporting Lisbon during the international break pod I did with Amanda a couple of weeks back. It's been looming over me ever since the last league [...]
Right. Now, with the dust having well and truly settled on our Champions League progression, eyes are beginning to shift to that Cup final on Sunday. Sure, we could probably take a moment to laugh at the 'Spurziness' of the Tiny Totts winning their first game of 2026, only for it to be worthless as [...]
Happy Monday, boys and girls. It's a good one to be an Arsenal fan, that's for sure, but my hope for next weekend is that it's an even gooder one this time next Monday. Before that, Arsenal have the small matter of a tough home game against Leverkusen and then a tough Cup Final game [...]
Took the old man to the game yesterday. As we exited the stadium, he said: “That was one of the worst games I’ve seen live”. He's somewhat of a semi-Arsenal fan, mainly because of me, because his family is all from East London, and so he’s a West Ham fan by design, although more of [...]
It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]
Yesterday I went through my preferred draw for the FA Cup, from the most favoured, through to the least favoured, which unsurprisingly had Port Vale at the top, City at the bottom. Southampton were in second and, as a team who are currently in eighth in the Championship and currently fighting for a play-off space, [...]
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun to watch. Arsenal didn't play well and Brighton kept us penned back for large portions of last night's game at The Amex. But boy was that a big result. A huge one. On a night in which Nottingham Forest amazingly managed to pick up a point at The Etihad [...]
