We didn't get the Mikel Arteta press conference that I swore I saw somebody say was going to happen yesterday, but what we did get was sight of Gabriel Jesus in full first team training, which is lovely to see. I doubt it will mean anything for this weekend, because he'll need probably a few [...]
It's easy to look towards the two headlines of Merino and the record-breaking back five from last night's ultimately comfortable 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, but I have to say that to a man, that Arsenal team showed what a confidence-laden side looks like from minute one yesterday. It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday and [...]
Morning campers, hope you're all well on this here Champions League match day, in which a visit to Prague is on the cards for the team for one of the earlier kick offs today. Firstly, we have to ponder who on earth is now going to be playing up front, after Big Vik succumbed to [...]
Match day ten this season brings about yet another familiar challenge to it that we have faced for some years now: An away day low block. It used to be a tenet of Premier League football that when teams are at home, they are a little more expansive; their fans urge them to drive forward, [...]
So, we have ourselves a League Cup tonight and following Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, we've got a bit of speculation over who he's going to start that is the key topic for today, for sure. Arteta gave an update following on from Sunday's win over Palace and with a number of players coming off [...]
They talk about us as 'paranoid' as a fanbase. They say that we're so vocal and that we are the most conspiracy-driven collective of supporters. We're apparently the loudest when it comes to believing that we have it worse than any other team. But isn't that any wonder then, that when you get the likes [...]
Having successfully navigated and thoroughly enjoyed Hate Watch Saturday, I am now fully focused on match day Sunday and I gotta tell ya, the nerves are proper kicking in already. Last season, every time Liverpool slipped up, we weren't able to capitalise. I remember seeing that Liverpool had slipped up in match week 16 and drawn [...]
I'm going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it's party town history than it's football team, but there you go), but before [...]
To demonstrate how fast football moves... Yesterday I woke up feeling terrible. I'd started to come down with a fever on Tuesday afternoon and by the time the Arsenal game on I was running a high temperature and got barely any sleep, going to bed straight after the game. That mean that yesterday morning I [...]
Well now, that turned out to be a lovely ol' weekend of football we've just had, didn't it? It may not have been the most exciting game that we engaged with on Saturday night, but given how serenely we went about collecting our away points at Fulham, it was much preferred over the kamikaze way [...]
