City’s dominance no comfort to an Arsenal fan like me

It would have had to have been a very cold day in hell for me to have watched Man City smash Real Madrid last night. The fact they did gave me about 1% feeling of "well, they've just tonked the European Champions, so perhaps the inevitable was going to happen for us. In my attempt [...]

Should Arteta experiment for the final two games?

Still feeling it a little bit after the game on Sunday. How about you? Even the catharsis of doing the pod last night hasn't helped to get me over the defeat to Brighton. I said on the pod that my football hangover cure was to avoid social media for a bit and that I did, [...]

Arteta adopting a Kaizen approach

Howdy peeps, hope we're all feeling good on this Premier League weekend? The big matches don't happen until tomorrow with Man City going to Everton to pick up what will inevitably be three points as Everton lie down and have their chins tickled by a Man City side who will feel pretty confident that they [...]

Arsenal hold serve against woeful Chelsea

Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]

Start fast and get the first goal against Chelsea, Arsenal

Morning folks. It's another match day and after the last few that we've had, the old fears and nervous butterflies have crept their way back in to my stomach. About a month ago those things were more excitement than fears, because we were on a great run of form, playing good football, looking every bit [...]

Riding on ‘hope’ rather than ‘expectation’ for The Arsenal at City tonight

And so it comes down to this. This collective of Arsenal players have worked hard so much this season, they have led the table for so long, but unless the result goes in our favour on a ground in which we haven't won on in over eight years and have conceded 20 goals in that [...]

Does the Saliba situation and the ‘Holding System’ mean a ‘Hail Mary’ is needed?

The all but official confirmation yesterday that Saliba would certainly miss tomorrow's game at the Etihad yesterday, sent a wave of Arsenal fans - your humble narrator included - into a wave of 'formation and play permutation bingo' and, I'll be honest, none of it was particularly palatable. We all know the issues of late; [...]

An Arsenal fan putting in the mental preparation for Wednesday

Still feeling down after Friday's result, you know. It's so frustrating because the basking in the glow of victory normally only lasts for a couple of days before you get in to starting to worry ahead of the next game. But that poor performance on Friday still has me reeling and as I said on [...]

Keep the eyes on Southampton, not what City are doing, Gooners

I don't particularly want to dwell on Man City too much today, but given it is they who are currently in the way of a first league title for us since god knows when, perhaps it is inevitable that I - like many Arsenal fans I converse with online - are paying particular attention to [...]
