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 [...]

Arteta giving nothing away ahead of derby day

By |2021-09-25T08:39:26+01:00September 25th, 2021|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

Arteta did his press conference yesterday and as you'd probably expect, he gave nothing away when asked about who will start tomorrow - despite many attempts at probing! He was asked about who starts in goal on Sunday. Nothing. He was asked about who plays up front and if Lacazette's future is an issue. Nothing. [...]

NLDs and surprising new contracts for Arsenal players

You peeps. Hope everyone is fine and dandy? I am nursing a stinking hangover this morning. You know it’s been a big night when you see McDonald’s packaging when you wake up in the morning. It’s all good though; you can celebrate when your team has just won the derby! Yep, Arsenal Women emerged victorious [...]

The fear of the North London Derby

Here we are. The worst day in our football calendar in my opinion: North London Derrby Day at home. I hate it. There's just so much always riding on this one, the nerves are heightened and - despite there being no fans in the stadium and therefore home advantage is pretty much negated - it [...]

Arteta needs to ‘Clockwork Orange’ mistakes out of Arsenal

By |2021-03-13T08:22:21+00:00March 13th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

Just over 24 hours until the North London Derby tomorrow at 4.30pm and after the team arrived back on Thursday and then most likely had themselves a day off yesterday, there will no doubt be a final session today ahead of the big game tomorrow. Mikel had a press conference update though and spoke on [...]

I hate North London Derby Day – don’t make it worse Arsenal

By |2020-07-12T09:41:47+01:00July 12th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Match Preview, Mikel Arteta, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

It's the worst day in the footballing calendar for me personally, today is, as we travel away to Sh*ite Hart Lane to face that horrible lot round the corner in the North London Derby. I've always hated this fixture. Nerves, bragging rights, the fear of defeat and having to face all of the idiots at [...]

Sokratis and Xhaka cost Arsenal three North London Derby points

The morning after the afternoon before. It's post-North London Derby day and whilst a draw at home against them isn't in itself the worst result in the world, we're probably all wondering "what could have been" had we had some senior players in our team who kept their heads screwed on properly yesterday. We all [...]

NLD nerves kicking in as Nacho departs

Blimey I'm tired. Plus I have a banging headache. I'm sat in a park in Manchester at 9am and my only friend right now is fresh air. It's a good friend to be honest. I will say this though; the thought of the impending North London Derby isn't helping my current situation. The fixture gives [...]

Emery’s NLD dilemmas: Monreal, front three and tactical set up

Unai's pre match presser had a wee bit of unexpected positive news yesterday, as it seems that Holding, Bellerin and Tierney might just be all back in to full training after the international break. Of course they're likely to not be ready for first team action for a few weeks, but it looks like Holding [...]
