Yesterday was as comfortable as you're going to get as an Arsenal fan visiting the Emirates this season. We all kind of suspected it; after all, I'd spoken before the game about how Wigan had recently lost their manager, were not in form, and, frankly, they probably feel like they could do without this cup [...]
Three goals, three points, an away win to the team currently first in Serie A, doing it with a rotated team, players in attack finding form. What’s not to like about yesterday’s 3-1 win at the San Siro? Before a ball was kicked, yesterday morning and afternoon, I was excited for this game. The reason [...]
It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]
For the last few matches I've read a few blogs, listened to a few podcasts and spoken to a few mates, talking about how the performances haven't quite matched the goal threat we have produced. I'm sure you've been exposed to the whole "Arsenal have one goal from 9 xG" narrative as much as I [...]
I know it is the EFL cup. I know it's a fixture pile-up in January. And yeah, I know that we have bigger fish to fry in other competitions. But you can't say that when it went to penalties, and those players responded that they didn't want this. They all do. And let's be honest, [...]
We didn't get the Mikel Arteta press conference that I swore I saw somebody say was going to happen yesterday, but what we did get was sight of Gabriel Jesus in full first team training, which is lovely to see. I doubt it will mean anything for this weekend, because he'll need probably a few [...]
I was thinking about talking about Gabriel Martinelli today, but before I get to that, there was the small matter of the Champions League squads announced yesterday ahead of the group stages and, unlike in previous years, the news was awash with players who had not made the respective squads for their teams. Spare a [...]
Was travelling back from South Africa to Blighty yesterday, so didn't get to pen any thoughts in the wake of that FA Cup exit to a United side who - like a few before them this season - basically scored with the one chance they really fashioned. And with the games coming thick and fast, [...]
Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]
Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]
