Good vibes at Colney thanks to the NLD – to carry us through the remainder of the season

With a full week off from football for those Arsenal players, this week must feel like quite the blessing, it has to be said. If you want to understand the importance of finishing in the top eight of the Champions League, it's this moment of time we're in right now, and you could see why [...]

Arsenal dominate the North London Derby as Eze and Big Vik shine

Football is mad, eh? On Thursday morning last week, I think almost every Gooner to a man/woman/child was at their lowest ebb. We had given up a two-goal lead against the worst team in Premier League history, and the media and rival fans were drinking in the misery, quick to trot out the 'bottlers' tag [...]

The worst fixture of the year – the requirement is clear – NLD at theirs

There is only one solution for The Arsenal. There is only one result that is acceptable. There is only one way that I go to bed tonight happy. Arsenal is picking up all three points in the North London Derby. I've woken up feeling achy, with a headache, which means I think I'm coming down [...]

Mikel’s calm vs. my nerves: Can Arsenal rediscover form in N17?

I don't know why, but I feel more nervous about this game tomorrow than I have done in years. Actually, scrap that, I think I do know why. Firstly, it's because this feels like a game that, unless we win, we may very well be on the verge of being out of a title race [...]

Starboy signed, NLD looming

Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]

Mansfield and Wolves – an opportunity for rotation?

Happy Tuesday boys and girls. Let's start with some FA Cup news, shall we? After all, we did learn last night our fate and opponents in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup and as I hoped for last in yesterday's blog, we got the kind of draw that our compact fixture schedule could probably [...]

Professional display see’s Arsenal safely navigate Wigan at home

Yesterday was as comfortable as you're going to get as an Arsenal fan visiting the Emirates this season. We all kind of suspected it; after all, I'd spoken before the game about how Wigan had recently lost their manager, were not in form, and, frankly, they probably feel like they could do without this cup [...]

The away day countdown: Why Wolves and the NLD are the season’s real markers

With our game at home to Wigan not on until tomorrow late afternoon, today has felt like a bit of a barren wasteland so far, if I'm honest. I got up, did a whole bunch of jobs, didn't get around to penning some thoughts until now, but there's not a ton of stuff going on. [...]

Controlling the controllable’s: Thoughts ahead of a massive match week 25

We kick off match week 25 with a host of non-Arsenal fixtures, as the TV companies continue to feed from the money trough by spreading matches over three days, and I can't work out whether us playing on Thursday is a good thing or not. The Scum, for example, play Newcastle tonight, but then they [...]
