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, [...]
Here we are boys and girls. This is it. The worst and single most terrifying game of the Premier League season if you're an Arsenal fan. I hate this fixture so much. I was listening to a podcast yesterday on my run where one of the guests said the one at our home ground is [...]
The countdown commences and yesterday it was the opportunity for both managers to take to their respective press rooms to respond to questions from the press. As usual Arteta didn't really give up much on the team news and approach, but you wouldn't really ecpect him to because: He hasn't done that all season anyway. [...]
Well I don't think any of us really expected City to drop any points yesterday, did they? This isn't the same Brighton as last season but as a well as that, Brighton are very much in 'on the beach' mode on 44 points and with little chance of getting in to the European spots, so [...]
As I said on last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast, the one word that keeps ringing through my head both yesterday and this morning: Frustration. I'm frustrated at the performance. I'm frustrated at the injuries. I'm frustrated at the silly concession of our goals. I'm frustrated at the media narrative about how awesome this Postecoglou [...]
Here we are. The second worst fixture of the football calendar, from my perspective, with the away North London Derby easily being the worst. Despite the fact we have a good record at home, despite the fact some of my best memories are from NLD's of years gone by, I still hate the tension ahead [...]
I had a stinking hangover yesterday after a company all-day conference on Thursday and so wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to do anything, let alone blog, but I'm back and feeling refershed this morning and what a good job too, because there is so much to talk about ahead of the North [...]
Would you believe it: I've read so much Arsenal content over the last few days, listened to so many Arsenal podcasts, that I'm already running out of #content to digest. So this morning, as a bit of a giggle as I did my morning run, I decided to flick on a Spurs podcast, just to [...]
Well good morning to you, fellow - very happy - Gooner! I'd pretty much downed tools on the ol' blog front on account of getting up late every morning in a beautiful tropical island and just wanting to drink cocktails and sit by the pool, but having arrived yesterday just as the game was in [...]
It may be Tuesday, it may be three days since the North London Derby, but I'm still soaking up all of the #content I can find. I've been playing the Peter Drury commentary of the goals and the full time whistle this morning. Google it or search for it on twitter, you'll find it and [...]
