Morning morning Gooners, hope you’re all feeling fan-dabby-dozy on this here Thursday morn? Todays blog is coming to you from inside a BA aircraft, as we take a wee short trip up to Northumberland for The Management’s family birthday dinner on Saturday night. Annoyingly, it means that I can’t make my way up to the [...]
Morning gooners, how we all doing today then, eh? Counting down until Friday's showdown with City? Can I let you in on a little secret? I'm actually not that worried about this game on Friday at the Etihad. That is not out of some misplaced arrogance that we're going to get a result, but rather [...]
Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you and yours. If you're a regular reader of these ramblings then you'll know that I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to The Arsenal. That's why this season I've very much tried to keep my feet on the ground when it comes to [...]
Good morning morning, from a wonderfully sunny Maldives, which is roasting hot too as well as being stunningly beautiful. With all this beauty around me there’s clearly only one thing on my mind, which is: I wonder whether Emile Smith Rowe is fit enough to start this evening? You can take the Gooner out of [...]

And yet having suffered defeat yesterday, their season has [...]
For the second time in four years Arsenal travelled to the City Ground to play Championship Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup and for the second time in four years Arsenal's FA Cup run was halted as quickly as it began in ignominious fashion as we were knocked out to a [...]
Morning folks and welcome to matchday. It is one of my most favourite match days of the year actually; FA Cup third round day. A chance to travel to a ground that you don't often go to and for me I haven't been to the City Ground, so a new one to tick off the [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Friday. Been a long ol' slog this week, I have to say, so has it been the same for you? Have you just jumped straight back in to the swing of work or have you counted down until the weekend like me? What hasn't helped was the lack of football [...]
We should be playing the first of a two-legged semi final in the League Cup against Liverpool this evening. But for reasons that - as I mentioned yesterday - are increasingly murky, it has been postponed to 20th January, in two week's from today. The EFL - chaired by Merseyside-born former Liverpool Chairman Rick Parry [...]
