We certainly saw some 'end of season' performances yesterday, eh? With Unai Emery going 'Full Unai' with his team ahead of their home game against Forest on Thursday, Villa put in the kind of performance you expect from an end-of-season team that really are mentally on the beach. That was frustrating from an Arsenal fan [...]
Took the old man to the game yesterday. As we exited the stadium, he said: “That was one of the worst games I’ve seen live”. He's somewhat of a semi-Arsenal fan, mainly because of me, because his family is all from East London, and so he’s a West Ham fan by design, although more of [...]
Happy match day, boys and girls. Well, it will be if we win; otherwise, curse this infernal day. It's Everton at The Emirates, and yesterday Mikel Arteta and David Moyes had their respective press conferences. I want to obviously focus on Arteta's press conference, which I thought was one of the best that he's done [...]
It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]
I've already spoken about that gnawing frustration I felt after Saturday evening's disappointing 0-0 draw to Forest. I know I am not alone. Even Declan Rice had been snapped mouthing expletives at the final whistle, which I think we can all understand, because that's what a lot of us were feeling at the time. City slip [...]
I didn't watch the Villa-United game yesterday, but I suspected Villa might win it and when you look at that winning run, you have to say 'fair f*cks' to those players and Unai. Morgan Rogers is in the form of his life for Villa and that is propelling them forward as we speak. Then, on [...]
Review of Arsenal’s win at Everton in December 2025
I have mixed feelings about tonight's game away at Everton, you know. One the one hand, we have had a full week of training for the players, there are plenty of training pics that show key players are back in the squad and fit for tonight, plus we got an update from Mikel that Big [...]
Before we get to the Arsenal of today, let's take a pause and reflect on the Arsenal of yesteryear, as one of our greatest ever players was awarded with a lifetime achievement award at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Thierry Henry - my favourite ever player and a guy with whom I've been able [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Wednesday. We'll be on day two of the training sessions for the team and yesterday pictures emerged of day one, which included players missing like Havertz and Gabriel as we'd expect, but not Martin Zubimendi. Apparently he was training indoors as the club try to manage his load management which, [...]
