Would you take a ‘loan only’ transfer window from now on?

Morning Gooners and welcome to Thursday, in which we now know that the Klopp and PGMOL farewell tour appears to be underway, as Paul Tierney decided to settle his differences with the German manager and basically give them immunity to dodgy refereeing decisions by booking a Chelsea player early on for diving when there was [...]

Any more magic left in the FA Cup? Any more left backs left at Arsenal?

Happy FA Cup third round Saturday folks. It's a shame really, because the third round weekend used to be one of the more fun weekends. You used to get yourself a home or away tie against another team you usually don't play against, there would be tonnes of football on all the time (well, compared [...]

Arteta off the hook and Partey back in the picture

Slightly delayed one from me today. Had the work Christmas party last night but actually feel quite alright - managed to avoid getting too plastered, but did get home late and so decided to have a lie in. But no Mikel Arteta press conference yet, so I guess I'll just have to wait and have [...]

Good for Martin, bad for Jesus, terrible from PGMOL

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, which will probably be the last of the regularly released rambling utterances from yours truly on here, because in about 13 hours from writing this I'm off to New Zealand for a few weeks. I'll try to get a few blogs and thoughts penned in during that time, but [...]

Refereeing transparency is good, but there are still too many questions unanswered

Morning folks - we all good? Or are you one of the many people slightly irritated by the 'Refs mic'd up' content Sky Sports pushed out last night featuring refereeing chief Howard Webb and, oddly, Michael Owen? On the Owen stuff, I'm not sure i've ever seen any kind of tactical insight worth him being [...]

A broken rules system in football

On last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast we had a fair bit of time dedicated to the refereeing from Monday night and, of course, most people in the chatroom and ourselves shared a level of frustration with the way some of the decisions played out. I'm not going to pick at a wound that will [...]

Finally! People are waking up to the patterns against The Arsenal…

Morning fellow Arsenal fans, hope you're all good? Where are you at in terms of the unpleasantness hat happened over the weekend - still mad? I kind of am, but I'm also pleased that the appropriate media response has come out about the situation, which I think has been helped by the few ex-Arsenal players [...]

The frustration at dropped points and being mugged off by Lee Mason

Another frustrating performance sees Arsenal drop points and by the time we get to the end of this weekend’s fixtures, it’ll be just three points and a game in hand between Arsenal and Man City. This is a City team who we keep hearing ‘aren’t quite the same’, ‘has something missing’, etc, etc. yet they [...]
