Morning all and welcome to Friday. Hope you're all feeling good? I had to take the first of my lateral flow 'countdown to Christmas' tests this morning. I didn't go to West Ham on Wednesday because I didn't want to risk it, plus the fact I was in the Tollington on Saturday and it was [...]
In classic 'Curse of Chris' fashion after saying yesterday that Arsenal, Arteta and Aubameyang needed to sort out the situation between them quickly and quietly, it all blew up yesterday, didn't it? We got the confirmation that Aubameyang would not be captain, that he would not be available for the game against West Ham, plus [...]
Last night some friends we were due to have over for a slap up Christmas meal before we are all off to see our families, unfortunately got a positive test result on their lateral flow tests, which means we've had to cancel a weekend of fun and frivolity at our place. I mention this in [...]
It's match day and whilst the focus should be on who are the best and fittest players available to be selected today to try to get us back on track and winning at home to Southampton, unfortunately we are once again dealing with some problems in the Arsenal camp, or at least what looks like [...]
I won't dwell on the double standards that got dealt by the Premier League on match postponements yesterday. We know that what happened at the start of the season is now wrong, they know it was wrong, we move on. The hope is just that the Scum's fixture congestion really piles up on them next [...]
I don't know whether it was said in the immediate aftermath of the game against Everton on Monday, but I only read those Martin Odegaard quotes yesterday afternoon, in which he admitted that Arsenal have a mindset problem. He said something along the lines of being 'afraid to lose the win' or something equally as [...]
Last night's shambolic Arsenal performance was a massive alarm bell for me. It was an appalling indictment of all the things Arteta and his Arsenal team have got wrong and although we went through a good run of form before the last international break, that is looking more and more like an outlier in the [...]
This morning I've woken up and the first thought popping in to my head is: "What are we going to do about Thomas Partey, eh?" I wonder if Arteta is thinking the same? Maybe, but maybe not, because perhaps he has more information about the Ghanaian that we do not have? Perhaps he is privy [...]
I feel rather apprehensive about tonight's game. It's old wounds you see. I remember when United were a bit of a joke under Moyes just after Fergie left and they beat us on their patch and got a 0-0 at our gaff after we utterly battered them with De Gea having essentially the game of [...]
Ahh December the first. The first day of the month in which I officially now go crazy by listening to Christmas music all of the time, over-indulging by basically being out drinking most evenings, watching Christmas movies whenever I can and overloading my company Microsoft Teams chat with gifs related to the festive season. But [...]
