When Mikel Arteta started busting out "best at everything" lines in yesterday's press conference, it immediately invoked Stormzy's 'Shut Up' song and I had to have a little chuckle. I think from the transcript I read from the official site yesterday, there must have been at least half of the questions related to set pieces. [...]
BIG game today. Very big game. I touched on it yesterday about how the pundits are pretty much all siding with us and that 'Jones Knows' chat on Sky even went for a 4-1 thrashing. Lawrenson has gone 2-1 Arsenal Sutton has gone for a 3-1 to us. We should beat them. We have a better [...]
I tell you what, this Arsenal team is cooking at the moment, isn't it? I mean yes, there was a moment in the first half when it went to 4-2 that I had PTSD from my trip up to Newcastle all those year's ago to watch the 4-4 draw, but as I said on the [...]
Yesterday I did a bit of a look at West Ham, but with Arteta and Lopetegui having their press conferences yesterday, we have a little more detail and I think I'll obviously focus a little more on us today. But before that, the West Ham team news, which Lopetegui talked about alongside handing our a [...]
In what is becoming a bit of a habit for me at the moment, I thought I'd go an check out the situation on some of the West Ham forums this morning, to get a bit of a vibe check on the opposition fans in the run up to our game against them. Unlike in [...]
Eight goals in around 80 hours between Saturday and Tuesday has a Gooner like me rather excited right now. I seem to have eschewed my normal glass half empty mantra, which has been replaced with a really positive vibe about The Arsenal looking ahead to this weekend's game against West Ham. Of course, the feelings could be [...]
Well now, wasn't that a lot more fun last night than we expected, eh? I don't think there are any Arsenal fans that thought that Mikel Arteta and his charges were going to head over to Portugal, absolutely blitz an unbeaten team with a 100% domestic win record this season, with one of the clubs [...]
So we're back in Champions League action this evening and it's the Portuguese champions we are up against in Lisbon tonight, in a game that sees a repeat of the March 2023 Europa League Round of 16 we played in March 2023. That game finished 2-2 and at the time I think most of us [...]
Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]
You can tell the ITK gears are starting to crank up again for January. I've noticed a slight uptick in transfer-related news over the last week or so, including some of the noises coming out yesterday and the day before about the teenage sensation Arda Gular, who signed for Real Madrid a couple of summers back [...]
