For the second time in four years Arsenal travelled to the City Ground to play Championship Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup and for the second time in four years Arsenal's FA Cup run was halted as quickly as it began in ignominious fashion as we were knocked out to a [...]
Three points, loads of goals, am impressive performance and to top it all off.....away from home! As the countdown to kick off slowly approached yesterday I found myself checking my football news feeds for stories that the game was going to get called off. Villa vs Burnley was announced a couple of hours before kick [...]
Friday's are always better when you have some good news to brighten your day, or when you have something exciting going on at the weekend, eh? For me it's a bit of both, actually, as I'm off in to London for a 40th birthday party tomorrow evening which will be fun. But most important of [...]
Another win to add to the growing list people, which is never a bad thing, even if it was in the League Cup and with a heavily rotated team. I'm sure you're bored of having to put all the usual caveats in place - "it was only the League Cup", "Leeds fielded a slightly weaker [...]
Morning folks. How is it Wednesday already? Given we have a game on Friday too, there will probably be a pre-match presser tomorrow and so it'll be interesting to hear what Arteta thinks of what transpired on Monday given there has been some time between the raw emotion of a disappointing result and when he [...]
Press conference day was yesterday which I am assuming means the team will travel down to the south coast today. Maybe they'll take in the Pier or even get an ice cream or two, although with the weather as it is at the moment, it'll make for the quintessential British day out on the beach. [...]
I'm still basking in the metaphorical iridescent glow that is the days after a North London Derby victory yesterday. I think it was James from Gunnerblog who put up on social media yesterday that he was soaking up all of the content after the win on Sunday and I couldn't have put it better myself. [...]
Winning football matches is hella fun. I like it. I like it indeed. And although at the time I felt moments of frustration, this was very much one of those days in which I look back at the game and realise that actually Arsenal played quite well. In fact you'd say the 1-0 scoreline probably [...]
So the two big talking points today then, are: The final televised friendly against the Scum that ended in a 1-0 defeat yesterday lunchtime The impending sale of Joe Willock First, the game itself, which was the final one in the 'Mind' series. We found ourselves on the wrong end of the result and finished [...]
Plenty to chew over from yesterday's 2-2* draw over Chelski at the Emirates, some good, some shall we say 'less so good'. Let's get the less so good stuff out of the way first though, because I'd rather finish today's blog feeling a little more positive, given that it's a Monday morning. Arteta named a [...]
