Happy North London Derby Saturday folks. Well, I say 'happy', but when it's away to them, it's never really happy is it? We hate them, they hate us and aside from going to the Toilet Bowl two season's in a row and getting a win, that place has been a very unhappy hunting ground in the last [...]

Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]

Here we are folks - match day! I have to tell you, I know this feeling well from many years on this planet and many times experiencing this s well as getting to go to The Arsenal on the first day of the season, but this feels like the most excited I've been of what's [...]

Arteta has hope and he has to have hope

I saw a post from somebody I follow on Twitter yesterday and they said that they simply aren't feeling the nerves ahead of Sunday. I also listened to the Arsenal Vision podcast yesterday on my run and Clive was talking about how emotionally he had just put a bit of a pin in his feelings [...]

Is this the most difficult Premier League season?

Here we go folks. The Big Weekend is amongst us and tomorrow we face off against a historical big foe in Man United, knowing that only victory gives us a slim chance of winning the Premier League. And let's be honest here, it is a 'slim' chance. I'm not trying to be deliberately negative or [...]

Jorginho stays, Rice grows, Arsenal look very good beyond this season

We're halfway through the week, halfway to our next cup final and as awesome as it's been drinking in all of the salty Scum tears, the focus absolutely has to switch to the challenge of Bournemouth, who will not be an easy opponent on Saturday lunchtime. One person I will be hoping that is in [...]

Saka’s return will be timely for Brighton

I went for my afternoon run first thing this morning, which has its benefits because rather than speculate on what Arteta has to say in his press conference today, it's happening literally as I type out today's ramblings. So I have a bity of a real time reaction opportunity this Friday morn, which is novel. [...]

I never normally watch the opposition match press conference, but given the build up to this massive game tomorrow and given how significant it could impact both City and Arsenal's season, I thought I'd have a little sneak peak at pep's comments in his presser. Obviously I was also intrigued on how he delivered news [...]

In classic Chris style, yesterday I predicted that we wouldn't get Arteta's press conference until today, so of course Arteta went in front of the press yesterday to talk about the upcoming showdown against Brentford tomorrow in the early evening. If you ever see me at the races, bet on the horses I'm not picking! [...]

First and foremost, before we get cracking on the team news following Arteta's presser yesterday, a word for Declan Rice, who won the London footballer of the year award at a ceremony last night. A fully deserved award who helped bring a trophy to West Ham and who has joined Arsenal for a big fee [...]
