I bloody hate this fixture. People that say they look forward to it, they enjoy it, pah, I don't believe you. Don't get me wrong, when Arsenal have won in this fixture in the past, it is one of the great feelings of the season and particularly in an era in which, let's be honest, [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. I spent my Saturday doing all manner of jobs and then today i'm going to relax and enjoy a day of rest. I saw that the Arsenal ladies gave the Scum ladies a good ol' fashioned tonking and that's always good to hear. I've seen a couple of the [...]
Couple of days away from blogging for me over the last two; the first was because of a super-early get up to head off to an all company away day and so I didn't have the chance to, but the second - yesterday - was due in large part to the big hangover I had [...]
If you were to not watch the game but ask an Arsenal fan what would constitute an absolutely horrendous night's work in the Toilet Bowl arena, they would probably include any of the following: Early goal conceded Silly unnecessary goal or penalty conceded Red card to an Arsenal player Big defeat that could have an [...]
Here we are folks. This has felt like a ridiculously long week for me, excruciatingly so, but we've arrived at the worst day of the football calendar in my opinion: North London Derby Day - away from home.

As I tap away at my laptop this morning, hurtling at speed on the Met Line to a day in the office, my mind is essentially doing a 'countdown to midnight a la 'The Watchmen' as we rapidly approach the North London Derby. And today my time will be taken up - in between meetings - [...]
I've got to be completely frank with you, I absolutely cannot stand the North London Derby. There are people that say they look forward to it, that it is a great opportunity to do one over the old enemy and when it comes to the post match bliss after a win I can totally understand [...]
So now we know...Arsenal's hand has been played and the extent to which we have absentees has been laid bare, as the club confirmed yesterday afternoon that they've applied to the Premier League for a postponement of the match on Sunday against The Scum. Mikel Arteta spoke to the Arsenal website in the morning and [...]
I'm still basking in the metaphorical iridescent glow that is the days after a North London Derby victory yesterday. I think it was James from Gunnerblog who put up on social media yesterday that he was soaking up all of the content after the win on Sunday and I couldn't have put it better myself. [...]
It's started already. As I tap away at my Macbook the time has only just ticked over to 8am in the morning and I'm already feeling those North London Derby day butterflies. The visit of the Scum at the carpet later on this afternoon and I'm already a bit of a nervous wreck. I don't [...]
