Football is mad, eh? On Thursday morning last week, I think almost every Gooner to a man/woman/child was at their lowest ebb. We had given up a two-goal lead against the worst team in Premier League history, and the media and rival fans were drinking in the misery, quick to trot out the 'bottlers' tag [...]

There is only one solution for The Arsenal. There is only one result that is acceptable. There is only one way that I go to bed tonight happy. Arsenal is picking up all three points in the North London Derby. I've woken up feeling achy, with a headache, which means I think I'm coming down [...]

Morning peeps. Hope you're ok. I am still pretty mad about Wednesday night, but you know what they say about time being a healer, right? Well, for me, it's that and Small Prophets, which I watched the last episode of last night. Great stuff. I guess the club was also hoping that official announcements of star [...]

What should we talk about today folks? More of the North London Derby, you say? Oh well, go on then, seeing as you asked so nicely... I want to start with a convo we had on the Same Old Arsenal pod last night as we were re-living the loveliness of Sunday's Hammering of Them. Well, actually, [...]

Well now, isn't today the most glorious of days, eh? It's 8am, the sun is rising on a crisp November morn and Arsenal are, once again, kings of North London. A dominating North London Derby that saw open play goals, a six point lead at the top opened up, plus a performance from one of [...]

The press conferences are done, we’re a little clearer on whose around for the NLD (sort of)

Having spent the whole week lamenting the massive injury crisis that surrounds the North London Derby this weekend, both Arsenal fans and them got a bit more of an inkling as to how actually it's not all as bad as it seemed over the international break. If you look at the Premier League injury table during the [...]

Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Let's start with some positive news, which is that yesterday afternoon Big Vik took to his Instagram to get pictures of himself in training. Given how Arsenal spend so much time trying not to give anything away by clearly selecting pictures they know won't include any players [...]

Firstly, a tip of the cap to the Arsenal Women, who beat Real Madrid again in 2025 in the Champions League. Nice work ladies! Always good to see. As for the men, well, they'll all be back now and the countdown is well and truly on to the North London Derby on Sunday. This is [...]

Yesterday morning I was brushing my teeth and I was thinking about the Big Gabi injury. I thought to myself "it feels like every time we get an injury update from a Fabrizio Romano or an Ornstein Bomba with regards to injuries over the last 12 - 18 months, it's always been worse than is first [...]
