Happy North London Derby Saturday folks. Well, I say 'happy', but when it's away to them, it's never really happy is it? We hate them, they hate us and aside from going to the Toilet Bowl two season's in a row and getting a win, that place has been a very unhappy hunting ground in the last [...]
So...I think that we're done now on these insufferable international breaks. And we have certainly suffered. First Calafiori, then Odegaard, but I think and hope that every other Arsenal player came through them and now we have the daunting task of picking up the pieces and assessing how we are going to go about preparing for the North [...]
I think I can speak for most Arsenal fans this morning when I say: International football can get in the f*cking bin. And then that bin can be thrown in the sea. Because you - like me I am sure - will be pretty cheesed off about the Martin Odegaard injury last night. He landed [...]
It's all quiet on the Arsenal front, as you'd expect given the time of the year, so I decided this morning to have a poke around the official website and see what's been cooking. And wouldn't you just know it, I missed the noises about Martin Odegaard being awarded our player of the season. And [...]
Yesterday I went through the defence, so today I thought I'd do some musing over our midfield. Yesterday I also gave an honourable mention to Declan Rice, because I do truly believe that the trio of Gabriel, Saliba and Rice are the main reason as to why we were so miserly in conceding goals, but [...]
Football does everything to you. At halftime I went up to our bedroom where The Management was packing away some clothes and I said "that was bloody brilliant". I was beaming from ear-to-ear and she sagely said to me "remember, it's only half time, and we were at Newcastle on that fateful day". I nodded, [...]
Arsenal overcome Wolves to keep their title hopes alive in April 2024 with a 2-0 victory.
"Late one last night, was it?" "You could say that" The words this morning from the Management when she got up this morning; I'd come crashing through the door at after 12am and slunk straight in to bed. It was flipping worth it though. My, wasn't it worth it, eh? Arsenal are in to the [...]
Today we'll have Mikel Arteta's press conference ahead of the Liverpool game and he'll be asked about the game, injury updates, but also about the current profligacy in front of goal and how he overcomes it. My hope is that with a glint in his eye he comes out swinging. My hope is that he [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, which will probably be the last of the regularly released rambling utterances from yours truly on here, because in about 13 hours from writing this I'm off to New Zealand for a few weeks. I'll try to get a few blogs and thoughts penned in during that time, but [...]
