It's match day and after last weekend's high, anything other than a win today will make that feel like quite a fruitless exercise. Last weekend we worked so hard to get back to touching difference and asper expectations, yesterday all of the results went the way we expected and now we find ourselves five points [...]
Morning folks and happy Thursday to you and yours. I flicked on the Villa/Chelsea game last night and watched about 20 minutes of it as I was doing other stuff in the house. What a weird two teams those two are, eh? Chelsea, who looked absolutely ridiculous at the weekend at home to Wolves and [...]
Happy matchday folks! Hope you're all good? Excited for The Arsenal finally being back today? I know I bloody am! It feels like it's been AGES! It's almost as if it's been worse than an international break, for some weird reason, as I recently pointed out here. But it's back, The Arsenal are back, there's [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday, as we tick ever-closer towards that game against Palace for the 12.30pm kick off on Saturday lunchtime. I'd asked for a marginal gain of Everton and Palace going to extra time last night and whilst it was unfortunate that it never happened, the fact that Palace put out a strong [...]
Perhaps it is because we're in to this winter break period and that means a fair bit of introspection and over thinking, but when I was out on my morning run in the cold suburbs of West London this morning, I started thinking to myself about our current position in the league and started to [...]
Today we'll have Mikel Arteta's press conference ahead of the Liverpool game and he'll be asked about the game, injury updates, but also about the current profligacy in front of goal and how he overcomes it. My hope is that with a glint in his eye he comes out swinging. My hope is that he [...]
With Mikel Arteta not doing his press conference until tomorrow lunchtime, it's up to us to start doing ALL THE SPECULATIONS on the game we have on Sunday, which was of course ably delivered on the Same Old Arsenal Podcast with the two James' last night. James J went for a 1-0 scraper and I [...]
I'm going to get straight in to the press conference Mikel Arteta held yesterday in a minute, but before I do that, I saw some noises yesterday about Chelsea potentially lining up a move for Aaron Ramsdale as a possible replacement for their current 'keeper Sanchez and I need to get this off me chest, [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. I have my work Christmas party this evening, so whether I'm in any fit state tomorrow morning to drop a few words on this virtual page I don't know, but for now I'm good so will crack on for now, although there hasn't been a presser, there's little more [...]
That one was a tough one to take yesterday, because as Arteta put it after the game, we were the better team and should have put the ball in the back of the net. We knew what we would get last night. Under the lights, on TV, Villa playing well at home and currently on [...]
