Morning folks - hope we're all in fine Friday form, despite the bad taste of Wednesday night's defeat. On the one hand it left a bitter taste and that's still circulating my mind, body and soul. But on the other hand we have the opportunity to expel that and replace it with the flavourful taste [...]
Matchday it is and it's a chance to keep pace with Liverpool and City. City play in the evening, Liverpool play at lunchtime and given the two opponents they have, I'm not expecting us to have anything beneficial come out of their two games, so we simply must do the business against Burnley in the [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Saturday. We've still got over 24 hours until we rock up at The London Stadium (one of the worst to get in and out of I've ever experienced, I have to say) and yesterday Arteta was doing his usual press conference stuff in the afternoon to give us an insight [...]
Morning folks and a happy Monday to you and yours. Well...as happy as a Monday as you're going to get when there's been no Arsenal on and you've had to sit through a Man United versus Tottenham game in which both sides looked a little bit pants. The night before I'd watched a ding-dong of [...]
Yesterday I saw the news emanating from a few sources that Thomas Partey is close to a return to the side and that the club are potentially earmarking the Nottingham Forest game as a match in which he could play a part. My first reaction was a Futurama Professor Farnsworth-style "Good news everyone!" reaction. We have [...]
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 [...]
The last working Tuesday of my year and it's the day after we've learned our Champions League Round of 16 fate. And I have to say I was hopeful of getting Porto in the next round. It's a city I've always wanted to visit, at a time in the year where the weather will be [...]
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 [...]
Last night after I'd had my dinner I quickly checked my phone to see the Scum v West Ham score. It was about 20 minutes in and I saw that they had bagged one early so I put my phone down and tucked in to some festive TV. "I'm not watching the media love in of [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday. We're just over 24 hours until we take to the field against Burnley and we'll hear from Mikel at some stage today about the team news for this one and I'm sure he'll be asked about the fitness of a certain Thomas Partey, with whom the noises are now [...]
