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 [...]
In the most obvious outcome possible from a gathering of the Premier League clubs to vote on certain motions, yesterday we found out that Arsenal and 18 other clubs voted to keep VAR yesterday, as Wolves lost their motion to have it scrapped, with no real surprises that everyone else wanted to keep it. 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?

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 [...]
Match day! Before I go in to the nuances of the game today, as well as Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, please allow me to indulge in a bit of smugness, having spent an hour in Alan Smith's presence last night for the Same Old Arsenal podcast yesterday evening. We talked about a wealth of [...]
Morning fellow Gooners, we alright? If you're UK based, you holding up ok in the heatwave, or are you excited to get out there this weekend in the sun? Do you know, I think this might be the hottest match I've witnessed at The Emirates? Can't wait. I really can't wait. I'm super excited about [...]
Morning Gooners, hope we're all doing well? It's a heatwave over Europe and so all of the cooling fans in the UK have been switched on and people are complaining about how hot it is. Not me. I love it. nice warm weather is a great opportunity to get the shorts, t-shirt and shades out [...]
