I think this is going to be tough against Cardiff today. It'll be gritty, they'll leave tackles in on us, try to be overly physical and despite the fact Stoke are thankfully nowhere near playing us again in the league, I reckon we'll have a similar experience against the Welsh side today. Why? Well frankly [...]
Morning fellow Gooners. It's been a bank holiday week in the UK which means the week is one day less. So why the frig does it feel like I've already done a day longer than normal? Might have something to do with the fact I'm offski to Portugal tomorrow evening but still, this n'half dragging [...]
It's funny how in football harmony can do quickly turn into discord. Just look at the situation at Old Trafford right now. A pretty stinging defeat to the horrible lot from the other part of north London and what do you know? Jose is at odds with everyone again. Having only recently signed a new [...]
Morning gooner. It's one of those rarest of things in the UK today - bank holiday - which means a bit of s lie in and a morning spent in me PJs watching the Unai Emery press conference again, as well as some more fall out from the victory against West Ham. I don't really [...]
Ultimately what we wanted yesterday was an Arsenal win and so when Danny Welbeck calmly swivelled and rifled home the third goal in injury time, the overriding emotion was obviously relief from most of the stadium and also for me. I think if I was to choose a word to reflect the game yesterday though, [...]
Happy Saturday one and all, hope you're having a good one, especially since the season can now officially start today after a couple of engine stalls. Of course the engine could still fall apart on us today and anybody expecting West Ham to be a nice easy ride should probably have a think about that [...]
Emery did his presser yesterday which of course is delicious for somebody who needs something to write about on a Friday morning commute, so I got one am hoping that he replicates this format for the rest of his Arsenal tenure, cos it dun'half 'elp with my #content. I like that he's open to talking [...]
Having talked quite a bit yesterday on our Wednesday night 'A Little Bit Arsenal' show about how Emery isn't afraid to hook players regardless of their status in the squad, this morning I find myself waking up thinking about the substitutions he's making at the moment, wondering whether it will remain that way all season. [...]
Two days after the defensive shambles that was Stamford Bridge and still the result is stinging a bit, but after a day of boozing for the parents Ruby wedding anniversary, plus reading the views of the players and other Arsenal fans, in pleased that we all seem a little more chilled about a second defeat [...]
I feel weird writing about Arsenal this morning. Weird because I don't know exactly how I feel. Often I will feel happiness, elation, anger, sadness, frustration, but today I feel a little bit of everything. And that's weird. Ultimately I guess the emotion that overrides all is sadness because we once again lost at Stamford [...]
