As I tap away at my laptop this morning, hurtling at speed on the Met Line to a day in the office, my mind is essentially doing a 'countdown to midnight a la 'The Watchmen' as we rapidly approach the North London Derby. And today my time will be taken up - in between meetings - [...]
I've got to be completely frank with you, I absolutely cannot stand the North London Derby. There are people that say they look forward to it, that it is a great opportunity to do one over the old enemy and when it comes to the post match bliss after a win I can totally understand [...]
Eddie Nketiah’s brace was vital in Arsenal securing three points at home to Leeds.
What vital win that was yesterday. Arsenal knew that they needed to get a result against a Tottenham side that had been given a leg up with Leicester undertaking massive rotation and basically throwing their match at the Toilet Bowl Stadium. The Scum had gone a point clear of us and a draw or defeat [...]
Happy Sunday and Happy match day Gooners. It's a bank holiday here in the UK so it's one of those weird Sunday's that actually sort of feel like a Saturday, but they are still a Sunday, so you half feel lazy and half feel like you should be doing your Saturday chores. Except they're already [...]

Obviously from an Arsenal fan perspective [...]
Morning folks - a happy Wednesday bestowed upon thee from me. Hope you are fine and dandy at this midway point in the week? I went to an awards ceremony last night and so am feeling a little ropey if I'm brutally honest. However, I did get five minutes to chat football with a West [...]
There was a very clear 'sliding doors' moment in our victory against Man United yesterday. Clear to me, anyway. As Bruno Fernandes stepped up to take United's penalty after a silly handball by Tavares in the second half, it felt like United had the momentum, they were pinning us back and if they scored that [...]
There should not be a single Arsenal player, member of the coaching staff, or fan, that underestimates the difficulty of today's home game against Man United this lunchtime. This will be a tough game, make no mistake. Firstly, United will be hurting after the absolute tonking they got at Liverpool. That's a fixture those lot [...]
Morning Gooners and happy Friday bestowed unto thee. I'm still feeling good about The Arsenal after that surprise win on Wednesday night. It was everything you'd hope from the Arsenal team but what I've been repeating in my mind is the tactical approach by Arteta and how he got it so spot on. I find [...]
