Howdy friends, how are we all doing? Looking forward to the game tomorrow? Not me, I have to say, because I've thoroughly enjoyed the bliss of five consecutive victories and the thought that it might come crashing down against United - like it always seems to when we go up there - makes me a [...]
It came, it went, without a major incoming and now we know what we have for the next - roughly - three months until the transfer window re-opens on 1st January. I say 'roughly because we've got the whole of September, the whole of October, then the first 12 days of November and then the [...]
Well now, I just wasn't expecting to tune in for the end of the United v Liverpool game to see that Man United can actually play with aggression and pride. I thought those values had been stuffed away in an old locker somewhere in the ground, never to return. Yet I tuned in with about [...]
There was a very clear 'sliding doors' moment in our victory against Man United yesterday. Clear to me, anyway. As Bruno Fernandes stepped up to take United's penalty after a silly handball by Tavares in the second half, it felt like United had the momentum, they were pinning us back and if they scored that [...]
There should not be a single Arsenal player, member of the coaching staff, or fan, that underestimates the difficulty of today's home game against Man United this lunchtime.

Happy Sunday campers - hope you guys are all doing well? No proper football until tomorrow evening, but despite the fact I thought to myself that I wouldn't bother watching Man United beat Leicester City yesterday evening, I flicked on the TV in the kitchen last night as I was cooking to see what was going [...]
Having to do today’s ramblings via my Smartphone unfortunately, so going back to pre-pandemic ways, which means the high probabilities of typos and other such predictive text nonsense. So please bear with. But what’s been going through my mind today has been - unsurprisingly perhaps - the ‘permutations’ of the remainder of this season. I [...]
Mikel had his press conference yesterday and of course the natural course of events is to first find out about the team news. The good is that Emile Smith Rowe is back having trained a couple of times after contracting COVID last week. The bad is there is still no sign of Tomiyasu. My biggest [...]
I always have this thing in my head during the season that if one team who is fighting for similar honours to Arsenal drops points, it can be seen as a good weekend. Last weekend when we beat Brentford it was great, but it felt like there was not a lot of advancement because the [...]
