Holy moly I’d forgotten just how good winning feels like. having spent the last three months watching Arsenal lurch from one defeat to the next, it felt like this barren run of dreadful performances was going to go on forever, but last night we were treated to a totally different Arsenal performance to the ones [...]
Boxing Day and match day. There was a time where I’d be pretty excited to have a bit of The Arsenal on at Christmas, but I’ll be honest with you, I’m not feeling overly confident and given that it’s been literally months since we won a Premier League game, the prospect of beating Chelski seems [...]
Well now that’s it’s official we can all start working out what next! Yep, Will.I.An is a gunner and that means he’ll be serenading the team with his dulcet tones and silky touch on the fields of London Colney as soon as they’re all back from holiday. We didn’t quite get the fairytale Aubameyang signing [...]
It’s cup final day and I am a very nervous man. Today’s game isn’t just the last game of the season, it isn’t just about a shiny silver trinket, it is also a financially and footballisticly significant crossroads the club finds itself in. I so desperately want us to win the FA Cup today. But [...]
T-minus 57 hours and counting from the FA Cup Final as I type out today's Arsenal-related nonsense and I have to say I feel just as nervous as I have done all week. As I've already said on a podcast and the blog, this could all go very well or very bad and mentally I'm [...]
There's been a few media rumblings about how Arteta has only won two of his seven games in charge as Arsenal manager.

I'm still trying to work out how I feel about yesterday's defeat to Chelski on our own patch. I mean, obviously I'm annoyed, but it feels like it's tempered somewhat with some of the situations that occurred during the match. Last night I lay in bed and at one point I was both pissed off [...]
I'm trying hard this morning guys. I'm trying real hard. I'm trying hard because for all of the talk, the messages from ex players, the 'manager' who supposedly feels comfortable with this competition, what I'm looking at is a team of f**cking bottlers who stared Champions League and a trophy and not only blinked, but [...]
This is it then. A whole season distilled down to one football match in which the success or failure will be viewed. All through the prism of a European Cup final. I've seen one in my lifetime, witnessed three heartbreaking ones, so I'm very aware of our record in Europe and very aware that this [...]
After a lovely bank holiday relaxing with the family yesterday, all of that has already been undone as I tap away at my iPhone this morning on the tube journey in to work, on account of what we'll find out in the next 48 hours. By this time on Thursday our future will be known [...]
