We’ve waited for this match day for a long time, haven’t we, eh? Arsenal back in the Champions League. It’s a place that for so many years we took for granted and I seem to recall all those years ago (probably around this time seven years ago) thinking (and maybe writing but I can't be [...]
I hope like me you too are very happy to get that monkey off of our back in the shape of the Everton hoodoo. It had been on there far too long, had resulted in far too many crazy results and, up until we scored in the second half, was really starting to feel like [...]
Morning peeps. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Hope you guys are all good. It's going to be a scorcher this weekend and so after today's brain dump I'll be heading out to the garden to fire up the paddling pool I reckon! Come 2pm there will be a beached whale of a Suburban Gooner [...]
Happy Friday peeps! Today is press conference day and so Mikel will be asked about the Champions League games, the game ahead against United, maybe even what he thinks about Brentford in the League Cup (although, maybe not ;-) ). There's also the small matter of the transfer window closing and I wonder if Mikel [...]
It's match day in North London today! And that brings with it equal measures of excitement and trepidation. Always has, always will, but come 3pm Arteta and his players need to be ready to step up and do the business against a Fulham team smarting from a home 3-0 defeat last weekend against Brentford, as [...]
Morning all, hope we're all ok on this Thursday in August? It was good getting the business done earlier, eh? I remember too many times getting to the last week of the window thinking "nope, we're still too short, they HACE to do something soon". Of course quite often it would be leaving it until [...]
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 [...]
It's match day number two for us this evening as the footballing authorities saw fit to turn this game against Palace to a Monday night one under the lights for something like the fourth or fifth time in a row I think (I haven't bothered to check that). That's because they want an upset and [...]
Greetings from a very warm Germany, Berlin, to be precise. the Management and I are doing a cheeky weekend in Deutschland so I can brush up on me German and take in some of the sights of a City that we’ve never been to before. It’s what you get when you are able to be [...]
Happy Friday Gooners. It's one of those weird Friday's where we have ourselves some words from the manager, but we don't actually play this weekend, instead having to wait until Monday night before our match week two begins. In some ways for me personally that's a good thing. I'm flying off to Berlin tonight for [...]
