In classic Chris style, yesterday I predicted that we wouldn't get Arteta's press conference until today, so of course Arteta went in front of the press yesterday to talk about the upcoming showdown against Brentford tomorrow in the early evening. If you ever see me at the races, bet on the horses I'm not picking! [...]
The main news that I'm hearing about this morning is that Takehiro Tomiyasu has agreed a new deal with The Arsenal, as we move to tie down more of those trusted players that Arteta likes in his squad, per various sources yesterday. For me I think this is the right thing to do. He's a [...]
I make Arteta right when he was in front of the press last week talking about tonight's game at Brammall Lane against Sheffield United: this will not be easy. I've seen a few Gooners online talking about the need to pick up plenty of goals and continue our good scoring form, but we're into March [...]
First and foremost, before we get cracking on the team news following Arteta's presser yesterday, a word for Declan Rice, who won the London footballer of the year award at a ceremony last night. A fully deserved award who helped bring a trophy to West Ham and who has joined Arsenal for a big fee [...]
Happy Monday Gooners, how we all doing? As much as the Liverpool/Klopp Farewell tour is a little cringe, the upside of yesterday's League Cup victory for them over Chelsea is at least that the 'Billion Pound Bottle Jobs' as Gary Neville put it, haven't won a trophy and therefore the blue side of West London [...]
Ahead of these types of games like the one we have tonight against Newcastle, I often like to have a little hunt around for opposing fan views, to see what their general vibe is, how they are feeling ahead of the game, etc. after all it is those kind of message boards, forums and blogs [...]
That was a tough one to take in the end and I don't think I'm the only Arsenal fan that feels a little shell shocked by the way we lost that game away to Porto last night in the Champions League. Like, I'm not even angry or ready to pile in on the team, I'm [...]
It's Champions League match day and it's an away day in Porto for the travelling Gooners who will be soaking up some sun and some nice Douro reds in Portugal's second city, I'm sure. I'm off to Porto in the summer and I have to say I have a lot of jealousy right now that [...]
There's little time for basking this week, as Champions League is back on the menu and tomorrow night Arsenal take to the pitch in the first of our two-legged tie against Porto for a spot in the quarter final. It's an old-familiar foe for us; during the consistency years of always finishing fourth under Wenger, [...]
Well what a result that was for The Arsenal yesterday, eh? It was a performance that had everything: control, goals, returning player narratives, screamers, ole's from the away fans, the lot. If you ask me what the perfect away day looks like, it would be what those Arsenal players delivered at the London Stadium in [...]
