It's finally a Premier League match day again for The Arsenal and I've got that usual feeling of butterflies in the stomach that occur in the morning of a game. All week I've been thinking about Brentford, I've listened to podcast previews, I've ruminated on how the match might unfold and in my head I've [...]
Morning folks - we all good? It was press conference day at The Arsenal yesterday and that meant an opportunity to get some updates from Mikel Arteta on the team, the Queen, as well as our opponents Brentford on Sunday, for which three points is the dream. Unsurprisingly for Arteta he didn't really tell us [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday - hope we're all feeling grand? In the UK it has somewhat unexpectantly become a bank holiday this weekend because of the Queen's funeral, which means I'm up north visiting the in-laws, looking out on to a crystal clear Northumbrian morning as I type today. It's quite peaceful. I [...]
Morning folks and happy Thursday to you. Well, it would be a happy Thursday, were it a match day today, but unfortunately the match against PSV was called off, despite every other Europa League game seemingly go ahead, as well as in the Champions League. Go figure. At least we have the clarity on when the [...]
Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you and yours. Hopefully you're feeling good and all is well? In the footballing world it all feels a little, well, unclear if I'm completely honest with you. Last weekend we had the postponement of football fixtures everywhere as a mark of respect, yet for most sports they continued [...]
With no Arsenal going on this weekend, the news from a football front is understandably light, unfortunately. I've made my point and stated my case with regards to the weekend's fixtures and I haven't seen anything to suggest to me that the decision to postpone the games was the right one, but there we are, [...]
Right, so, with internationals now thankfully and firmly behind us all, it seems like the wheels are turning and the cogs have been greased for the transfer engine to start purring. You only have to listen to the narrative from some of the decent journos out there to see that stuff is happening in the [...]
In the build up to the game in the pub beforehand, I was with Andrew, Neil and Jason and I spoke to the guys about how much I wanted the revenge for the first game of the season. Brentford caught us out with a physical display, on opening day, with players missing and then afterwards [...]
It's match day people! And it is the reverse of the opening game of the season, in which we succumbed to an excitable and motivated Brentford side who took advantage of our mixture of injuries and COVID situation in the Arsenal camp, to overcome us 2-0 in their new stadium. I drove past their stadium [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday. We'll hopefully get a press conference this morning, unless London Colney has blown away with all the high winds we're seeing in the UK right now. There's a that has been brewing and it isn't Mikel's latest falling out that is causing the ruckus, but instead Mother Nature that [...]
