As a football fan (Arsenal specifically but what I'm about to talk about can probably apply to every football fan), you always want to be able to find comfort in the words of the players in your team, as well as the manager. If the team are talking about confidence, if they are talking up [...]
There's no place better to start today than with the u-turn by Arsenal yesterday evening on the surcharge for ticket prices, announcing that they would not, on this occasion, enforce the charge for the Barcelona game. Funnily enough, I was actually halfway through a podcast talking about the issues of the surcharge and how it felt [...]
After a couple of draws and a disappointing Sunday afternoon against Chelski, it was good to see Arsenal get back on the victory trail by overcoming a stubborn Burnley side yesterday afternoon, as well as get a decent look at some new and returning faces. As expected, Arsene made some changes to the squad and [...]
I know it's the FA Cup this weekend, I inow it's an opportunity to bench our league campaign for a few days, but it is the league that keeps me awake at night. What's been keeping me awake is our poor form, but also the form of others, who have all picked up varying degrees [...]

This fixture has become the one in which more frustration exists than ever before and it's been like that over the last ten years or so because it doesn't matter in what position the two teams are in, Chelski usually come out on top, or at least without defeat. It doesn't matter if they're flying high [...]
I think the possible team today is one of the most fascinating we've had in quite some time. It's the third round of the FA Cup, we're at home to Sunderland, with a manager in Sam Allardyce who has already suggested he will rotate a number of his players for the game today. At home [...]
Well, I learned something about my own ability to predict football results yesterday, which was that I really shouldn't bother. After yesterday's blog I had made some assumptions and whilst the only result I categorically predicted was the United one (which I got wrong), I also thought both Spurs and Leicester would drop points, which [...]
Today's an interesting day, because it still feels like we're so far away from Arsenal's game, yet it's a weekend in football in which we'll all be paying a lot of attention. Leicester travel to Everton in a game in which you have to wonder whether they will finally come unstuck. Much like how we [...]
Tonight is - if you believe Joel Campbell - the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. I get that, especially given that our Champions League future hinges on a 2-0 win or better score line, but whilst it might be important 'to date', I don't think we'll look back on it as [...]
