In classic Chris style, yesterday I predicted that we wouldn't get Arteta's press conference until today, so of course Arteta went in front of the press yesterday to talk about the upcoming showdown against Brentford tomorrow in the early evening. If you ever see me at the races, bet on the horses I'm not picking! [...]
Matchday it is and it's a chance to keep pace with Liverpool and City. City play in the evening, Liverpool play at lunchtime and given the two opponents they have, I'm not expecting us to have anything beneficial come out of their two games, so we simply must do the business against Burnley in the [...]
Happy Friday folks, hope you guys are all good? It'll be press conference day today ahead of the Palace game and with less than two week's until the transfer window closes I think it's inevitable that Arteta is once again asked the question on whether there are any incomings happening this January and, inevitably, he [...]
Yesterday I drove up to see the Management's family for our 'part two' of Christmas and as we travelled up I decided to flick on the radio to have a listen to the Newcastle v Forest game. I do love the Christmas period because aside from Christmas Day, there is football on basically all the [...]
Having been in the Cotswolds with friends enjoying some relaxation, booze and nice food, I managed to avoid the post match frustration from Saturday until yesterday evening. James and I did the Same Old Arsenal post match pod chat and, if I'm honest, on this occasion it didn't feel like as much catharsis as it [...]
Morning folks. We all good? Mikel Arteta has been chatting to Marca and in the interview as you'd expect, he didn't give too much away in terms of potential signings, but with the Havertz stuff he did give the clearest indication you're going to get with a player as he admitted that 'talent has a [...]
When David Ornstein dropped his latest Ornbomb (see below) about how Arsenal had no intention of selling Emile Smith Rowe this summer, there were a fair few members of the online community that I follow who expressed a wee bit of surprise. Positive surprise, but surprise nonetheless. He's a popular player, he's one of our [...]
Happy Tuesday people. Have you fully recovered from the weekend's emotional high? Or are you still drinking in all levels of content? I think mine is just about starting to wear off, but mainly because we're just over 48 hours until we are on to our next game away to Sporting Lisbon, a match which [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? Looking forward to tomorrow night's slugfest against Everton? Because let's face it, it will be a slugfest. It will be a gruelling, grinding, low-blocking, frustration of an evening as Everton try to double up on our wide forwards, they camp on the edge of their own box with bodies, [...]
Now that we're getting in to 'Part one of the Prem definitely over' territory, I've started to think about this period between now and Christmas as a bit of an off-season/pre season for The Arsenal; there are players heading off for some holidays, there are some players going to a World Cup, Arteta and his [...]
