In my work life I have to podcast. It is not as much fun as talking about The Arsenal but I do enjoy it. So when you have to record a podcast and you've lost your voice, it really does throw a spanner in the works. Anyhoo, back to The Arsenal, who were generous enough [...]
Well OF COURSE Martin Odegaard got player of the season for The Arsenal! I even said it on social media back in August. I said I thought he would 'Bang!' and my, didn't he just do that for us last season. I love the way he plays football. I love his tight and close control, [...]
Back in Blighty today and back to the usual routine, following a few days of French boozing and stocking up on the vino, and it appears all the talk is about contracts. Saka is set to be announced soon according to Fabrizio Romano and at this stage you have to conclude they are just waiting [...]
When this season is finished and we all start to assess how it has gone, there will be loads of really positive things to say about Mikel Arteta’s side. Sure, we’ll probably have some regrets like the Everton game away, or that we didn’t make more of the Southampton at home (and away too, probably) [...]
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 [...]

But it sounds - on the face of it - like everyone has made it through without any massive injuries or [...]
This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]
I know there will be bigger challenges for this Arsenal team to overcome this season and I know that Crystal Palace are on a wretched run of form that sees them winless in 2023, but gosh darnit, it this crucial stage of the season this Arsenal team keep overcoming the hurdles put in front of [...]
Well now, I must confess, I didn't expect to get such a comfortable afternoon for the Arsenal players in West London yesterday, that's for sure. Fulham were a side difficult to play against, especially on their own ground, with a week off and us having travelled to Portugal to play midweek too. This felt like [...]
Morning friends, I hope and trust today finds you well, ahead of an important encounter tomorrow against Brentford. And it is a Brentford side that are the form team in the league and that in itself means they will come in to this game full of confidence having beaten Southampton, Liverpool, West Ham and Bournemouth, [...]
