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 [...]
It's match day in North London today! And that brings with it equal measures of excitement and trepidation. Always has, always will, but come 3pm Arteta and his players need to be ready to step up and do the business against a Fulham team smarting from a home 3-0 defeat last weekend against Brentford, as [...]
Well now, it seems to be some movement going on at London Colney, as we reach the 'one week and counting' part of the summer transfer window. It is the curse - or gift depending on how you see it - of this blogger that I spent half an hour yesterday writing about how we [...]
Well now, I must confess, I didn't expect to get such a comfortable afternoon for the Arsenal players in West London yesterday, that's for sure. Fulham were a side difficult to play against, especially on their own ground, with a week off and us having travelled to Portugal to play midweek too. This felt like [...]
Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]
With Arsenal not playing until tomorrow afternoon, it is expected to be a quiet one from an Arsenal news perspective, I expect. Although because the team played on Thursday night in Lisbon, there will inevitably be some questions over some of the absentees for that game, because apparently there's been an illness bug going around [...]
I can see that Richard Keys was doubling down on his Celebration Police narrative after the Wolves v Newcastle game. Yesterday I saw that he’d made comments about the players and the manager celebrating a 2-1 victory like it was a trophy they had secured. He was bleating on about the fact that it’s ‘only [...]
Howdy all and hope you’re in a fine mood on this fabulous Sunday? I’m not going to mug you off here; I’m not going tell you that yesterday was the most rosiest of days for me as an Arsenal but, then again, I know you too feel the same - that was bloody uncomfortable at [...]
Starting today’s blog the night before, as I’ve got an early start tomorrow/today because of a cousin who decided a 7am tee time was an acceptable approach to a round of golf on a Saturday morning. He’s a Spurs fan too, which probably explains it: they are all completely mentally unhinged. Anyway, as I say, [...]
No pleasantries this morning, straight in to the 'WTF' moment and as you and I were at home patiently scrolling through our social media feeds, news broke of the utterly horrendous deal Arsenal had done for Bernd Leno. £3million up front is a borderline insult for such a 'keeper, with £1million if he plays a [...]
