Yesterday I decided to sit in the garden instead of watching the game at Anfield. It was relatively meaningless, I didn't want to see the crowing Liverpool fans, plus after the PSG exit, as I've already mentioned last week, I'm done with this season. So today's musings will be based on vibes and how I [...]
I wasn't able to watch the game yesterday, as I was at a Christmas get together with the family (we're off over Christmas so this was a bit of a non-negotiable from The Management's family), but I've seen the goals and a few of the Arsenal chances, so today's musings will be very much 'vibes' [...]
As I and many others predicted in the build up to this match, there would be no basketball-style game, leading to goals galore. Instead, this was every bit the chess match, played between two teams who are stylistically even matched and two managers who follow similar footballing philosophies. There was the inevitable chiding online from [...]
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 [...]
Todays ramblings from me will be a slightly different take on the 2-2 draw at Liverpool yesterday. That’s because I’m viewing it through the prism of not having watched the game, as I was with The Management’s family having an Easter dinner and so I physically couldn’t watch the game. But I did check in [...]
There's no doubt that this morning there will be plenty of frustrated Gooners waking up and slightly stewing on the result that we had yesterday at St Mary's against Southampton. After last season where we lost with pretty much their only attempt at goal, yesterday afternoon's game was one that I thought we would see [...]
You can't win 'em all. Sometimes you have to accept that and yesterday's draw against United, whilst being at home, was definitely one that I'd say "I'll take that" given the circumstances. And those circumstances were that we had a number of injuries, we faced a side who have picked up lots of points and [...]
There's been a few media rumblings about how Arteta has only won two of his seven games in charge as Arsenal manager. It's stat loading where its not necessary but if it gives somebody an angle they'll take it. Which is why there will be another round of journos and writers chucking in the fact [...]
Morning from a bright but cold Belfast. It's a weekend away for the wife's birthday and so yesterday's lunchtime kick off and the fact we were out and about meant I didn't actually get to watch the game in full yesterday, but I followed what was happening and saw a few of the key moments [...]
