Arsenal squeeze past Palace with little help from referees as usual

You know football is back when you look at the heart rate monitor and see that because of your elevated beats per minute, you've been fat burning on a Monday night from about 9pm onwards, despite sitting on your sofa. Specifically, you know you're an Arsenal fan who knows that football is back because as [...]

Sorting the Tierney situation won’t be easy

Happy Wednesday Gooners. The sun looks like it might make an appearance here in London, which ideally i'd wish it'd save itself for the weekend so i can be in the Emirates with the big ball of fire smiling back at me, but you can't have everything in life I guess. And clearly that's the [...]

Returning faces to London Colney, with an Ornbomb suggesting one more incoming

The Ornbomb has landed and Romano has regaled us, so it seems this saga will soon reach it's conclusion. But at this point I'm not really sure what else there is to say, other than I'm glad it's happening and hopefully we are going to be able to swiftly move on so we can focus [...]

Arsenal go down without a fight

Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]

City’s dominance no comfort to an Arsenal fan like me

It would have had to have been a very cold day in hell for me to have watched Man City smash Real Madrid last night. The fact they did gave me about 1% feeling of "well, they've just tonked the European Champions, so perhaps the inevitable was going to happen for us. In my attempt [...]

Late drama doesn’t change the fact: title challenge done?

Well, that’s that then, title done and the little hope we had of maybe ending our 19 year wait for a title has evaporated right in front of my very eyes at the Emirates on an utterly atrocious night - from a defensive point of view - for The Arsenal. Southampton had scored 24 goals [...]

Saliba injury forcing us to think ahead to that City game

Morning folks. Yesterday I put a tweet out about how I'd almost forgotten how rubbish Monday's are after a disappointing performance from Arsenal. We've been that good all season that out of the 28 or 29 match weeks (I know we are on game 31 but there have been midweek Premier League matches so sometimes [...]

The Saliba worry, the West Ham focus

Well we got our press conference from the boss yesterday and for me the one worrying thing that stood out was the Saliba update. We've all talked about it online, in the pubs amongst fellow Gooners, about how back injuries are apparently tough to get over and diagnose. But when you have an update from [...]

Odegaard escapes – now to get Saka, Ramsdale and Zinchenko back in tact

Without having any kind of official confirmation from the club it is impossible to say if we've made it through 'round three' of the 'pray no Arsenal players get injured on international duty' roulette. But it sounds - on the face of it - like everyone has made it through without any massive injuries or [...]

Disappointment and frustration at lacklustre Arsenal Europa exit

I am going to admit to frustration and disappointment this morning. I really wanted us to go all the way to the Europa League Final. Perhaps my motivation is more from self interest than from what this Arsenal team can and should focus on, but the way I feel this morning, I don't really feel [...]
