For me personally yesterday was almost the most perfect sporting day I could have hoped for. First and foremost, which will take up the bulk of today's blog for obvious reasons, was the 4-0 away win over Bournemouth that Arsenal delivered to us on that most precious of things: A Saturday 3pm kick off. But [...]
As I said on last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, the one word that keeps ringing through my head both yesterday and this morning: Frustration. I'm frustrated at the performance. I'm frustrated at the injuries. I'm frustrated at the silly concession of our goals. I'm frustrated at the media narrative about how awesome this Postecoglou [...]
Well that was like rolling back the years last night, wasn't it? What I mean by that is that it was Arsenal back in the Champions League, the music blaring, the light show, but also, the kind of performance we used to routinely take for granted. That felt like the kind of game that we [...]
Happy Thursday Gooners - we holding up ok? I say that because, let's face it, this is just about the worst time in an international break; we're now a solid four days from the brilliant late United winner, the content that we have been gorging ourselves on is starting to run out, with the upcoming [...]
Do you know what I don't do enough of? Giving props to Bukayo Saka. I think it is because he's been in the team for so many years now, he's been one of our - arguably outright our - best players who so frequently delivers good performances that when he gets another goal or has [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday. How we all holding up? Ok? Obviously if you're a social media obsessive like me then you'll have seen the noises last night from Di Marzio that Rice is getting closer to agreeing to sign to Man City. I believe he's pretty reliable and if these noises are true [...]
I didn't watch the England game last night because a) I was recording the Same Old Arsenal pod with the peeps, but also b) international football is cr*p. However, I did see that once again Bukayo Saka stole the show bagging himself a hattrick, man-of-the-match performance and demonstrating that we really do have a starboy [...]
Well OF COURSE Martin Odegaard got player of the season for The Arsenal! I even said it on social media back in August. I said I thought he would 'Bang!' and my, didn't he just do that for us last season. I love the way he plays football. I love his tight and close control, [...]
'Tis the season to be...... ....Worried about every single transfer rumour that gets banded about, apparently, and I am by no means an exception it seems. For yesterday in the morning - after I'd written my daily musings on here first thing, a story emerged about how Arsenal could be resigned to losing Saliba this [...]
Well folks, some 'good news!' as Professor Farnsworth would say: Bukayo Saka's new contract was confirmed yesterday and we have our Starboy signed on the dotted line. Great to hear. This is a kid who has come from the Arsenal ranks, is a true Hale Ender, has become our star player in the last two [...]
