I know it is the EFL cup. I know it's a fixture pile-up in January. And yeah, I know that we have bigger fish to fry in other competitions. But you can't say that when it went to penalties, and those players responded that they didn't want this. They all do. And let's be honest, [...]
It's the EFL Cup tonight for The Arsenal and whilst most other teams are prepping for their Christmas schedule, our lads have to overcome what has become quite an impressive opponent in the shape of Oliver Glasner's Crystal Palace. Admittedly they were pretty terrible against a rejuvenated Leeds United side last weekend and some of [...]
Well now, that turned out to be a very Arsenal-friendly weekend in the end, eh? Perhaps not the 'perfect' weekend, as the Scum still won, but good enough that we can look at the table after nine games and see three defeats for City and four for Liverpool, who sit six and seven points off [...]
Having successfully navigated and thoroughly enjoyed Hate Watch Saturday, I am now fully focused on match day Sunday and I gotta tell ya, the nerves are proper kicking in already. Last season, every time Liverpool slipped up, we weren't able to capitalise. I remember seeing that Liverpool had slipped up in match week 16 and drawn [...]
Happy Saturday folks. I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing you have something enjoyable planned. Me, I’m going to get myself out for a run, then I’m going to settle down to watch some football at home this afternoon, as the Management and the mother-in-law are in London watching Black Sabbath: The [...]
I'm going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it's party town history than it's football team, but there you go), but before [...]
Well, that was a whirlwind 24 hours as an Arsenal fan, wasn’t it? This time yesterday I was writing about the Trossard deal, trying to justify what felt like quite an odd move from the club, as it appeared as though we were unlikely to be doing any more business. I pondered over what we [...]
Let's do some 'real talk' here, shall we? Because it looks like - if Fabrizio Romano is to be believed - that the Scum are advancing talks ahead of us to get Eze out of Palace. The 'real talk' bit is that as much as many of us would like to, there'll be no rowing [...]
At this point in the season I'm not really sure what I can that is different from what we've seen for the large part of the football calendar. Arsenal have had their eyes on other things for over a month now and that has been born out in the results we've had over the last [...]
Tonight's game against Palace feels like a bit of an inconvenience for both teams, if we're all honest with ourselves, but Arsenal still have a job to do this evening. With Man City winning late against Villa last night, City are within five points of us now, having played a game more. The whole world [...]
