Well now, isn't today the most glorious of days, eh? It's 8am, the sun is rising on a crisp November morn and Arsenal are, once again, kings of North London. A dominating North London Derby that saw open play goals, a six point lead at the top opened up, plus a performance from one of [...]
So the Arsenal boys did the business last night for England. Not that I was watching. Now that England are qualified these matches become nothing more than glorified friendlies and all that leaves me thinking is: Why the HELL is Saka playing the full 90? Rice was taken off on 65 minutes, so that's good, [...]
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 [...]
Here we go boys and girls - match day eight and the incentive is obvious and there for all to see: Top of the league by five points if we win away at Fulham. That hurdle is by no means an easy one to overcome however. indeed, we've failed to do so on our last [...]
We're nearly there folks. International football is nearly in our rear view mirror. Well, for at least month, that is. But it appears on face value as though this latest round of games as been positive, so let's run through who did what, shall we? Starting off with the mid-morning kick off our time with [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
Yesterday morning I spoke of the fact that Forest could be a bit of a banana skin on account of the fact that we don't really know how they would play. In the fullness of time and with the benefit of hindsight, we can say that regardless of what they were going to do, this [...]
I watched the WSL opener as I was doing some work in the kitchen yesterday and I have to say, that Olivia Smith lass looks good, doesn't she? That's one heck of a shot she's got on her and if that's the sign of things to come, then Arsenal Women have themselves one heck of [...]
It's match day folks and I've woken up with a bloody trapped nerve at the base of my spine. I hope it isn't a life metaphor for what we'll have to go through today, because it's bloody painful. Hopefully with some exercises and a bit of moving around it'll get freed up a bit. And [...]
It's Friday, it's press conference day, it'll be Mikel Arteta and hopefully when he's asked about Eberechi Eze at some stage, we get that Arsene Wenger pre-Ozil signing smile that has become so iconic over the years. We talked about the magnitude of it on the Same Old Arsenal podcast last night and I think [...]
