Yesterday I had a really busy day of meetings and personal appointments, so I didn't watch a single minute of football. By the sounds of it, that started off as a good idea with what Switzerland, Cameroon, Uruguay and South Korea all served up, but I've seen and heard some of the comments on the [...]
Yesterday I penned some thoughts about who could most benefit from the second pre season we're about to get. You can have a read of that here if you like. Then, as I was out on my run this morning, I was listening to one of the many Arsenal podcasts I tune in to when [...]
Yesterday I had a lot of fun. Hella fun. And it all started with The Arsenal. I’ve never got up at 6am, trudged across town, got to an Arsenal bar to watch the game at 7am before, but if the result could be the same as what we got yesterday at home to Forest, then [...]
Update…wrote this this morning, but it didn’t send! So hitting it now. Have a good one folks! ****** Morning Gooners. We all good on this Wednesday? I know I am. Weirdly I went out to a black tie do and I feel quite fresh this morning - think it’s because I headed the words of [...]
The good vibes just keep on coming this season and yesterday evening, under the fading light of the October sky, The Arsenal knocked down another one of those media narratives that had plagued us in recent years: "Can't beat the truly top teams like Liverpool or Man City" Oh yes we can.

The countdown feels like it truly commenceth today, my good friends. We are on T-minus three days and counting after today until the North London Derby and with the players all starting to make their way back to London Colney to be assessed on their fitness ahead of what is feeling - as always - [...]
Five out of five for our boys and whilst the 'Yeah but it's only...' brigade may point to an out of sorts Aston Villa side, there are a few facts and figures that is being ignored by those that don't have an emotional investment in The Arsenal. For example, I read a stat this morning [...]
Morning all and happy Thursday I bestow unto thee... I went to a place called the Blues Kitchen in Camden last night and probably drank a little bit too much for a random Wednesday, but hey ho, it was a lot of fun and the ribeye steak was flavourful enough to be worthwhile. I'm telling [...]
Morning folks, hope you're all well. A lot better than Joachim Andersen and Darwin Nunez this morning I would say, with the Liverpool forward probably still annoyed with himself for being suckered in by Andersen and poor helpless and defensive Andersen, who was victim of the 'brutal' headbutt that caused him to hit the deck [...]
