Happy Friday folks. It's a press conference one today, which means we'll get Arteta and Dyche having their say on the evening kick-off under the lights tomorrow as we travel up to the City Ground. And the nerves are starting to kick in for me, having had a week off and two cup games to [...]
Arsenal went to Stamford Bridge last night, to a Chelsea admittingly short of a fair few important players, and absolutely bossed them to take control of this League Cup two-legged semi-final. So why do I not feel completely sated this morning? I think it's probably the feeling that this tie could - and probably should [...]
Well now. That was one heck of a successful hate-watch midweek edition, wasn’t it? The Scum lost to a last-gasp winner (and the manager tries everything, including being given an Arsenal cup and told to drink from it because they’ve ’bottled’ some of Mikel Arteta’s tactical ju-ju in there Man United can’t hold off Burnley [...]
It;s Monday, I think, and at some stage between now and midnight we'll get a team update from Mikel Arteta. By which time whatever I say now will probably be old news. So rather than look at what's going on with Arsenal, why don't we have a look at what we might face with Aston [...]
It's the EFL Cup tonight for The Arsenal and whilst most other teams are prepping for their Christmas schedule, our lads have to overcome what has become quite an impressive opponent in the shape of Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace. Admittedly they were pretty terrible against a rejuvenated Leeds United side last weekend and some of [...]
I have mixed feelings about tonight's game away at Everton, you know. One the one hand, we have had a full week of training for the players, there are plenty of training pics that show key players are back in the squad and fit for tonight, plus we got an update from Mikel that Big [...]
Morning Gooners, we all good? I have to admit, I was kind of sad that I didn't watch the batshit-mental football match last night that was Man United 4 - 4 Bournemouth. Looks like a Christmas hum-dinger of a game and one in which I saw Jamie Carragher describe it as "the best of the [...]
Mikel Arteta was his usual coy and non-committal self when it came to the injury update in yesterday's press conference. So we got merely the continued "matter of days" schtick with regards to Saliba, Trossard and Timber, whilst Rice was the same with the manager admitting that it was an illness that he picked up [...]
It's Friday, it's press conference day and with Mikel Arteta having bedded back in some of our strikers in midweek's Champions League win, I'm interested to see in what kind of mood he might be today. Hopefully it is a jovial one, because the frustration and annoyance of last Saturday's defeat has been countered with [...]
Howdy folks, hope we're all good? I thought that the catharsis of the Same Old Arsenal pod last night with James and Amanda would help me to understand my feelings over that Chelsea result, but I'm still no nearer to breaking it down. I think that's because City ultimately beat Leeds and so it feels [...]
