I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]
There's only one place to start this morning, which is with the confirmation from the club yesterday that Mikel ARteta had signed a new contract, taking his deal with The Arsenal to 2027. This is fantastic news. He had been talking about how it was going to get done, there had been plenty of journalists [...]
Here we go folks, strap yerselves in, because we're now on the countdown the North London Derby and that means any of the football media outlets you usually tune in to will be awash with COMBINED NORTH LONDON DERBY XI'S, ex-players talking about how this is 'make or break' for both teams, discussions around why [...]
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 [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing, eh? I'm on me travels again today, this time heading up to Northumberland to see The Management's family for the weekend, which is good really because it coincides with this interminable international break, so I can be fully 'present' and not distracted for a solid four hours for the [...]
Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]
That felt like a BIG win yesterday, I have to tell you guys, because at 60-odd minutes I was pacing up and down of the house I'm staying in, in the Algarve, wondering how we were going to get anything from a game that I thought Villa were starting to get a little more control [...]
Happy match day folks - how we all feeling? There's obviously some transfer stuff going on with Fabio Vieira back to Porto on loan, as well as Mikel Merino spotted on his way to London, but on match day there really is only ever one focus and that's how we're going to come back from [...]
Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good. I don't know why I still get triggered by lazy journalism, but I do, falling victim to shoddy 'takes from so-called professionals not once, but twice in the last 12 hours. First it was Charlie Wyatt on Sky Sports last night, who described Mikel Merino as a [...]
Here we are folks - match day! I have to tell you, I know this feeling well from many years on this planet and many times experiencing this s well as getting to go to The Arsenal on the first day of the season, but this feels like the most excited I've been of what's [...]
