Howdy folks, hope we're all good? I thought that the catharsis of the Same Old Arsenal pod last night with James and Amanda would help me to understand my feelings over that Chelsea result, but I'm still no nearer to breaking it down. I think that's because City ultimately beat Leeds and so it feels [...]
Match day ten this season brings about yet another familiar challenge to it that we have faced for some years now: An away day low block. It used to be a tenet of Premier League football that when teams are at home, they are a little more expansive; their fans urge them to drive forward, [...]
Matchday Saturday, a 3pm kick-off, a game in which you'd normally be expecting Arsenal to pick up all three points against a struggling West Ham side and yet, here we all are, a little nervous about history repeating itself. Mikel was asked yesterday what he felt about the fact that Arsenal had lost 50% of [...]
I watched the WSL opener as I was doing some work in the kitchen yesterday and I have to say, that Olivia Smith lass looks good, doesn't she? That's one heck of a shot she's got on her and if that's the sign of things to come, then Arsenal Women have themselves one heck of [...]
It's match day folks and I've woken up with a bloody trapped nerve at the base of my spine. I hope it isn't a life metaphor for what we'll have to go through today, because it's bloody painful. Hopefully with some exercises and a bit of moving around it'll get freed up a bit. And [...]
Here we are folks, it's a lovely day in London (albeit a little chilly), that most sacred of things in the shape of a 3pm kick off and I'm bringing The Management along to the game today in the seat next to me. As a hopefully advantageous twist of fate, the last time she rocked [...]
Morning folks and welcome to the last Friday pre match ramble of this Premier League season. There will be plenty of time for a review of the season and reflect on how good it is, but much like those Arsenal players having to forget whatever happens in Manchester (although we're all 99.9% in the know [...]
Right then, it's match day, so let's see what we're up against with today's evening opponents Brentford, eh? Firstly, their team news, which sees the Beeds facing quite a lot of missing players due to injury, particularly at the back, where Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey and Ethan Pinnock all remain out for this [...]
It's match day and after last weekend's high, anything other than a win today will make that feel like quite a fruitless exercise. Last weekend we worked so hard to get back to touching difference and asper expectations, yesterday all of the results went the way we expected and now we find ourselves five points [...]
Morning folks and happy Thursday to you and yours. I flicked on the Villa/Chelsea game last night and watched about 20 minutes of it as I was doing other stuff in the house. What a weird two teams those two are, eh? Chelsea, who looked absolutely ridiculous at the weekend at home to Wolves and [...]
