It’s the big one today and, as I suspected but didn’t say, the butterflies and nerves for this game against City later on are starting to kick in. Arsenal travel to Manchester trying to do something we haven’t managed to do in nine previous attempts in all competitions. You have to go back eight years [...]
Right then, it's match day, so let's see what we're up against with today's evening opponents Brentford, eh? Firstly, their team news, which sees the Beeds facing quite a lot of missing players due to injury, particularly at the back, where Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey and Ethan Pinnock all remain out for this [...]
Ahead of these types of games like the one we have tonight against Newcastle, I often like to have a little hunt around for opposing fan views, to see what their general vibe is, how they are feeling ahead of the game, etc. after all it is those kind of message boards, forums and blogs [...]
That was a tough one to take in the end and I don't think I'm the only Arsenal fan that feels a little shell shocked by the way we lost that game away to Porto last night in the Champions League. Like, I'm not even angry or ready to pile in on the team, I'm [...]
It's Champions League match day and it's an away day in Porto for the travelling Gooners who will be soaking up some sun and some nice Douro reds in Portugal's second city, I'm sure. I'm off to Porto in the summer and I have to say I have a lot of jealousy right now that [...]
Howdy peeps, hope we're all doing well on this Thursday ahead of a trip to Turf Moor for one of those most precious of things: A 3pm kick off. Obviously I prefer it when it's at home, but these days with the ability to 'find ways' to watch or listen to football anywhere, it's less [...]
Do you know what's funny? This time last week my mind was full of positivity and basking in the glow of a post-Liverpool victory. That win felt massive, it felt huge, because we'd beaten a team who were on a fantastic run and who many thought that a draw would be alright for The Arsenal. [...]
Morning folks. Happy Friday - hope you're all good? We did an interesting pod last night with Alan Alger and Anthony Gale (son of Tony Gale, ex-West Ham player), which was a match preview, a bit of discussion over xG and its uses, as well as the over celebration discussion that has been rumbling on [...]
Morning folks and happy Thursday to you and yours. I flicked on the Villa/Chelsea game last night and watched about 20 minutes of it as I was doing other stuff in the house. What a weird two teams those two are, eh? Chelsea, who looked absolutely ridiculous at the weekend at home to Wolves and [...]
Well, here we are, ladies and gents. Time to strap ourselves in because this is the big one and this is a test that this Arsenal team simply must pass if it wants to be in contention for the top honours going in to the end of the season. The period over Christmas in which [...]
