Morning folks and welcome to matchday! It's the most wonderful time of the week.....maybe... ;-) It's a trip to Brighton for Arteta and the lads and I must tell you, I'm quite nervous about this game, which I take a good thing because it means that some of the apathy i've felt in recent years [...]
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. [...]
It appears the prognosis on Xhaka's knee ligament injury was worse than we thought and the club confirmed yesterday that he'll be out for three months as a result of the damage that was done in the North London Derby. It's a bitter blow for him and a blow for us. I spoke about it [...]
We're another Monday closer to the Premier League kick off boys and girls, with this week's current noises from an Arsenal perspective being the eventual signing of Ben White from Brighton, who is expected to undertake his medical on Wednesday and sign for us by the time we play Chelski at The Emirates in the [...]
Another fun few games in the Euro's yesterday, which was always good to watch as a neutral. I watched the second half of the Poland vs Sweden game and it had intensity, intrigue, plus a few goals to swing the momentum one way then the other. Then we had the France v Portugal game and [...]
Morning all, hope you are all splendid today and feeling bright as a button for this latest week of rumour, counter-rumour, rage, fear and general angst that comes with a summer Arsenal transfer window. A summer in which - like every summer window since social media turned transfers into an opportunity to shout at a [...]
Well, it's finally over1 Hip hip hooray! We are free of this wretched season and, in the end, it was at least pleasing to see some fans in the ground cheering on what turned out to be a pretty routine Arsenal win against Brighton on the final day. We didn't get exactly what we wanted [...]
It's here! Finally! the end to this dreaded season! Hoorah! Like when you're in the waiting room at the dentist and it feels like they are extending your discomfort out of some kind of sadistic pleasure, the Premier League season can finally be put to bed after today's round of matches. For Arsenal it represents [...]
Mikel Arteta talked to the assembled press yesterday and I have to say I thought he talked about a whole manner of things that were interesting to try to read between the lines. So much so that I actually think more was debated about 'other stuff' than the actual Brighton game itself. Which to be [...]
You know the phrase "the ends justify the means"? Well, having seen Arsenal look a little laboured yesterday, but ultimately pick up three points away to Brighton yesterday in the Premier League, I feel like that phrase aptly describes our overall performance yesterday evening on the south coast. That's because Arsenal's performance was hardly the [...]
