Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were yesterday confirmed as being two of the top 'something-or-other' on the Balloon D'or awards yesterday, with the competition once again being won by Messi in what is football's biggest popularity contest. I'm pleased for Bukayo and Martin to get the accolades for their performance, but the competition in itself [...]
We've had three draws this season and for a side who have aspirations on the title, you can look at that after nine games and without knowing any context think "hmm...that's not exactly the most amazing start". But, as with all things, context is everything and I don't think there is an Arsenal fan out [...]
Morning Gooners - happy matchday! We're back! FINALLY! And it's a tough one to get us back in to the swing of things, as I think this Chelsea team will be bang up for an upset this evening. Their season started off with a respectable draw against Liverpool at home and I watched that game. [...]
As we begin the countdown to a tough away trip to Chelsea (yes, it will be tough, as they've not been as bad as their league form suggests), I've started to see the noises coming out from both fanbases ahead of the game. Whether it's the Arsenal fans who are batting away any chance of [...]
With the international break now upon us, it feels like as Arsenal fans we really need to string out as much of the good vibes from the City win on Sunday as possible. That's certainly what I did and I've been watching videos, reading blogs and opinions from journalists and fans, plus listening to podcasts [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing on this Saturday morn? How optimistic are you that we might see Bukayo Saka on the pitch tomorrow, eh? A bit more optimistic than a couple of days ago I'll bet. That's because we've started to hear some whisperings that he might be ok from Sunday, with even Mikel [...]
It's press conference day today and Mikel Arteta will take to the press room at London Colney to give an update on where we are at with our injury problems ahead of the big game against Oil-Funded-Nation-State FC on Sunday, with all eyes and ears being very firmly fixed on the availability of Bukayo Saka [...]
Losing isn't fun and I'm still smarting a bit from that needless defeat to Lens last night. However, I wonder how PSG fans are feeling this morning, having seen their side battered (scoreline-wise) against Newcastle at St James' last night. I was thinking about that result and how much of a big thing for Newcastle [...]
Morning folks. Hmm. That was a...frustrating....evening, methinks. In the immediate aftermath when I was annoyed that we'd lost to an RC Lens side that brought a decent level of press and a fanbase who were obviously super 'up for it' as a night in the Champions League that they hadn't had for 21 years (I [...]
Morning Gooners - back on a match day and looking forward to our first away day in the Champions League for many a year. For the team and players it is just as well that the trip is shorter in distance to going to Newcastle, because the bad weather around the Luton area - where [...]
