Yesterday I went through my preferred draw for the FA Cup, from the most favoured, through to the least favoured, which unsurprisingly had Port Vale at the top, City at the bottom. Southampton were in second and, as a team who are currently in eighth in the Championship and currently fighting for a play-off space, [...]
Happy Monday, guys and gals. Hope you're all ok? This morning I am thinking about Pierro Hincapie, who got on the pitch this weekend, after Trossard's injury, to help us win at Mansfield and get our name in the hat for tonight's draw. I'll give some thoughts on the draw in a minute, but back [...]
It's Wednesday. We still have five full days before the game at home against Chelsea. But this morning I went for a run and listened to another podcast about the North London Derby. I'm liking this. We have loads of time still to absorb as much of the post-NLD content as possible. I still have [...]
Three goals, three points, an away win to the team currently first in Serie A, doing it with a rotated team, players in attack finding form. What’s not to like about yesterday’s 3-1 win at the San Siro? Before a ball was kicked, yesterday morning and afternoon, I was excited for this game. The reason [...]
I know the Champions League is an important competition for us. I know that we want to finish in the top two. And I know that a win, or even a draw tonight, will essentially seal that. But please, for the love of all that is holy, Mikel, please rotate the key players out for [...]
Well that went just about as perfect as I'd imagine Mikel Arteta could have hoped for last night. Get the win to get back on the winning wagon - tick. Rotate the team to rest up some of those important legs - tick. Give minutes to those who might be a little 'cold' in terms [...]
Before we talk The Arsenal and look ahead to the game tomorrow night in Belgium, let's spend a minute or two talking about the Mo Salah situation, eh? Because as Arsenal fans, we've seen this stuff play out a couple of times and we know how it goes: Big Name ageing player on big money [...]
Maybe I went too early this week with my statement about ‘statement win’? Nah. I’m happy with what I said. Like I’m happy with what this Arsenal team are doing right now and if you’re somebody who questioned the idea of Tottenham being a statement win given how shocking they were, I bet you’re not [...]
This is a very weird feeling today - about tonight's game I mean. That's because never have I felt more 'ahh it'll be fine' about a game against Bayern Munich than I feel this evening. That's probably why I could never be an elite athlete, to be fair, because aside from the clear and obvious [...]
It's easy to look towards the two headlines of Merino and the record-breaking back five from last night's ultimately comfortable 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, but I have to say that to a man, that Arsenal team showed what a confidence-laden side looks like from minute one yesterday. It wasn't all plain sailing yesterday and [...]
