As the fallout from the defeat on Saturday continues in the social media discourse of Arsenal fans, I am still not feeling as angry as I thought I would be, which is strange. Perhaps it is because we've had a few years of this Arsenal team being really good defensively, and so this feels very much [...]
I know we're playing later, so this schadenfreude might age like four-day-old milk being left out on the back patio in summer, but man, it's funny to laugh at Chelsea. I was doing other things last night, so I only checked in and out on the game, but seeing them drop a 3-0 away to Brentford [...]
How is it Friday already? This is what happens when The Arsenal play - and play well - in midweek. The weekend comes around, and you're like, "blimey, that hit us quick, eh?" I guess we're also at the stage in the season where it isn't a grind. The season is still fresh, young, in [...]
Man United getting done over by Brighton was a bit funny last night, wasn't it, eh? I saw the Sesko 'assist'. Ouch. That won't make good viewing when they get in the video room for the post-match analysis today/tomorrow. As for us, in the next round, it's a relatively kind away one at Fleetwood Town. [...]
Under normal circumstances, I’d be saying things like “I quite like these types of games tonight”. Arsenal in the EFL Cup, or League Cup as I prefer to call it, is an opportunity to usually rotate a few players, to take the stresses away from the Premier League, and last season it certainly offered that [...]
If last season taught us anything, it's that Sunderland are a side not to be taken lightly. That 2-2 up at the Stadium of light come over my birthday weekend in November, I was up in the North East, funnily enough, but on the black and white side, and Arsenal were gut-punched late on to [...]
The boy is well and truly back. Martin Odegaard, captain extrodinaire, leader, goalscorer, the metronome through which our creative play flows, showed everyone watching last night just what you get when he is fully fit, in form, and able to deliver in the final third of the pitch. 121 touches in total, drifting over to that right-hand [...]
We're back with Champions League football tonight, and it's a visit to Napoli in my favourite city in Italy for those travelling Arsenal players and fans. Of course the problem with Naples is that it's also a dodgy as hell in parts, and I've seen warnings about sticking to hotel bars if you're English, but [...]
I have to tell you, I am LOVING the hypocrisy of some of the online Chelsea fandom right now, LOVING it I tells ya. 10 months ago we went to Stamford Bridge, and we saw Cucurella go in on Saka time and time again. We saw Fofana leave one or two in on Arsenal players. [...]
This is a big one today. This is a match that is probably going to be one of the big two or three home games this season. The Scum is a derby, but they are clearly inferior. Liverpool still can't work out what they are yet I don't think, but City and Chelsea feel like [...]
