It’s match day tonight and, I’ll be completely honest with you not only am I worried that we might not deliver the kind of assured performance of a team that sits top of the league, but I’m also slightly concerned about our season longer term. That’s because Arteta had his press conference yesterday and confirmed [...]
I don't particularly want to dwell on Man City too much today, but given it is they who are currently in the way of a first league title for us since god knows when, perhaps it is inevitable that I - like many Arsenal fans I converse with online - are paying particular attention to [...]
It's Wednesday, it's the middle of the week, but it is only another couple of days until matchday and after the disappointment of Sunday's draw there is half of me looking forward to hopefully seeing the team put it right at home to Southampton, whilst the other part of me worries that a rut has [...]
Ahh man am I hungover. Started off with a stein at lunchtime and it slowly descended from there. So I’m feeling a bit fragile this morning. Don’t make my day worse Arsenal, please, I’m begging you. City made light work of Leicester City as we thought and so it means that if we want to [...]
When I woke up yesterday morning I thought to myself: “don’t bother about City; they smash Southampton (who are terrible), it’ll be all on us for tomorrow, the media narrative will be set, just prepare for it”. But as much as you can tell yourself that, as much as you know what will happen, there [...]

Happy Good Friday to you and yours. Hope you have nice things planned with the family. I'm spending the day doing jobs before sauntering over to the Mother-in-Laws so I can vegetate for a few days and just spend my time relaxing. Except I won't really ever 'relax' properly, because of what looms on the [...]
Bukayo Saka really is something else, eh? The kid has the world at his feet at such a young age and although I only checked in on the game yesterday as I was cooking, I saw a few bits - like that wonderful goal - that was enough to peak my interest and give other [...]
Happy Wednesday folks. How we all doing? A bit better than poor ol' Tomiyasu, who the club confirmed yesterday had undergone surgery on his knee and he will be out for the season. Such a shame. Such a big blow to such a good player, but sadly we're now in to the territory where we [...]
I know there will be bigger challenges for this Arsenal team to overcome this season and I know that Crystal Palace are on a wretched run of form that sees them winless in 2023, but gosh darnit, it this crucial stage of the season this Arsenal team keep overcoming the hurdles put in front of [...]
