Talk about a variation of emotions from the start, middle and ending of a football match, eh? On about 75 minutes Amanda messaged me and asked whether to bother with doing a post match Same Old Arsenal podcast. It'd been a pretty turgid game, punctuated only with the occasional bright spark from eventual man of [...]
Morning folks. It's matchday again! After a ten day hiatus, The Arsenal are back, the nerves are back, the trepidation remains and the trip to Leicester - whilst ordinarily I'd see it as an opportunity to potentially rack up some goals given their position and form - that is fraught with concern given our attacking [...]
Ok Leo, all eyes on you now mate. I know you've looked a bit sullen at times, Arteta has talked about how you don't like it when you're not playing, so now is your chance to shine because you are basically going to play every possible game between now and the end of the season. [...]
You know how sometimes weird situations like history repeat themselves? I mentioned on the blog yesterday that The Management was coming with me to the game as I had a spare seat next to me. She'd been to the 5-2 against the Scum the first time around, then when she came the second time to the [...]
At 3-1 the Bolton fans were chuckling to themselves with a rendition of "Johnny, Johnny Stones" to the tune of "Daddy Cool" by Boney M. At 5-1, they were singing in the rain. It's good to know that the dying embers of hostility still exist for them. For us it was an opportunity to show [...]

I [...]
Happy Monday to you lovely Gooners. How we all doing today? I see that the media love-in for Man United has started. They waxed lyrical throughout the League Cup final and then afterwards too, as United celebrated their first cup in six years. Apparently this is going to spearhead them to inevitable glory now. We [...]
Happy Match day folks! Is it happy though? Do you every REALLY enjoy matchday? As I mentioned on my blog yesterday, I did a stadium tour yesterday, which was pretty awesome because The Management had sorted me out a VIP Legends tour, which meant I was shown around by Lee Dixon and Nigel Mitchell, who [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing this Monday morn? Good? Last night I did the Sane Old Arsenal podcast and we talked about the emotions of last week, as well as the importance of the win. Then this morning, as I was brushing my teeth and scrolling through Twitter, I saw a tweet saying we had eight [...]
Well now, I tell you what, if you could pick out a perfect Saturday to have as an Arsenal fan, you couldn't have done much better than what we were treated to yesterday in the heat of the August sun at the Emirates yesterday. The weather was sublime, the crowd were upbeat and excitable with [...]
