It's Friday, it's a couple of days before we go to Chelsea and it's a trip into the Chelsea fans forums for me to see how they are feeling. It's certainly a mixed bag, with as much of them saying they can't see themselves losing, as well as the reverse. I think this season has [...]
Maybe I went too early this week with my statement about ‘statement win’? Nah. I’m happy with what I said. Like I’m happy with what this Arsenal team are doing right now and if you’re somebody who questioned the idea of Tottenham being a statement win given how shocking they were, I bet you’re not [...]
This is a very weird feeling today - about tonight's game I mean. That's because never have I felt more 'ahh it'll be fine' about a game against Bayern Munich than I feel this evening. That's probably why I could never be an elite athlete, to be fair, because aside from the clear and obvious [...]
What should we talk about today folks? More of the North London Derby, you say? Oh well, go on then, seeing as you asked so nicely... I want to start with a convo we had on the Same Old Arsenal pod last night as we were re-living the loveliness of Sunday's Hammering of Them. Well, actually, [...]
Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Let's start with some positive news, which is that yesterday afternoon Big Vik took to his Instagram to get pictures of himself in training. Given how Arsenal spend so much time trying not to give anything away by clearly selecting pictures they know won't include any players [...]
Firstly, a tip of the cap to the Arsenal Women, who beat Real Madrid again in 2025 in the Champions League. Nice work ladies! Always good to see. As for the men, well, they'll all be back now and the countdown is well and truly on to the North London Derby on Sunday. This is [...]
This morning I find myself thinking about Gabriel Martinelli. One of the longest-serving players in this Arsenal squad, it's easy to forget that the Brazilian is still just 24 years old and doesn't turn 25 until next June. He broke through with us properly at 18 under Emery and had some early impressive Europa League [...]
With the Interdull now well underway and Arsenal fans having to spend their time looking at farcical programmes like Sky Sports' Ref Watch, one could be forgiven for switching away completely from all things football for a while. Arteta spoke after the Sunderland match about 'resetting' and I guess a lot of that is with the [...]
When you concede a goal in stoppage time, you always have to say you're disappointed with the result, but perhaps in the fullness of time this 2-2 draw we had at Sunderland yesterday won't be seen as the dropped points it feels like this morning. I was impressed with Sunderland as a side. They are [...]
Match day Saturday for The Arsenal and I come to you from just north of Newcastle, in the North East, albeit not going to the game today. Which is frustrating. But not as frustrating as it might be today if we can't capitalise on the fact that we're playing before both City and Liverpool, who [...]
