Last night felt like a bit of a throwback night for me personally. Not just because I was once again reunited with the collective of pre game drinking buddies I have been going to football with for the last few years, but because the game wasn't on TV and it was a time that was [...]
I really want to delve in to some of Mikel Arteta's comments from the interview on the website that I saw yesterday, because he talked in a little more detail than we're used to, about the pressing of the team and ensuring that the lines between the players is a little narrower and more [...]
No time to talk about nonsense rumours like Aubameyang to Man City, or Willian finally being booted out, because it's match day! Whoop! And in recent year's, even though we haven't exactly smashed teams in the League Cup, I do tend to like the build up to them I must admit. I think it's because [...]
I was having a read of the always excellent 7amkickoff's blog yesterday. I don't read lots of blogs (not even my own! But you could probably tell that given the typos sometimes ;-) ) but occasionally check in on some and this one intrigued me because it was about the possibility of the UEFA Super [...]
In isolation this game is a bit of a 'meh' one that you can just put in a box and move on with your life. Man City win this competition every year, they are miles better than us, they have players who will punish teams very easily. But the problem we have at the moment [...]
Tonight Arsenal play Man City in the League Cup and surely I’m not alone in thinking: Meh. I mean sure, I want Arsenal to win and sure, it would be great for morale, but with a few players out through injury and a hectic Christmas period that will see us play Chelski on Boxing Day, [...]
Matchday today in the Carabao Cup and, oddly, I'm looking forward to this one, mainly because I feel like I don't have to get too emotionally invested in it. It is the least of our worries in terms of trophies, it is played by the rotated sides, so if we go out we can shrug [...]
Well, it's a good job that Arsenal made a signing yesterday, becasue I got my dates muddled up and thought we were playing Leicester City tonight in the Carabao Cup! Welcome to Icelandic goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson to The Arsenal! The 25-year-old joins us from Dijon where he had fallen down the pecking order behind [...]
How the hell do les one even begin to try to make sense of that madness last night? Utterly bonkers. Crazy. On both teams part. But, sadly, it's once again Arsenal who fall short and once again it's the manager who has a few questions to answer. Thankfully he answered the Mesut Özil question relatively [...]
Another game day this evening, this time in the League Cup, but forgive me if I'm not too optimistic about the game tonight. It's at Anfield, we seem to be on our knees as a club, we've got a captain who has gone radio silent and a manager who won't actually show any leadership and [...]
