There were United fans crying about the first Arsenal goal last night, bleating on about injustice, fair play and all of that nonsense. I'll tell you what injustice is; going to Old Trafford, being the better team for most of the match, then coming away with nothing. That's how I am feeling this morning and [...]
After a stinging away defeat like the one at Anfield on Saturday, I don't know whether it's worse to have no game on at all and therefore the week feels like it'll drag out from an Arsenal perspective, or whether it's what we all need to take a breather, look at the situation, then have [...]
Happy Thursday folks. Hope you are well? Only two bits of news worth talking about in my eyes today and given that Arteta is not due to meet the press until tomorrow (my bad, I thought it would have been today), we won't really get too much of an update on the fitness of many [...]
With it being Wednesday and the national team representatives on their way back to Arsenal, my mind is now turning to the daunting task of facing Liverpool on Saturday, looking at who might be fit and available for this difficult game. Of course the Liverpool press is talking up all of the players they might [...]
As I exited the ground yesterday with the three points secured, I asked my Dad to reflect on the game and the performance and he said 'it was a funny old game, wasn't it?'. Indeed it was Pa, indeed it was. Arsenal controlled possession, scored goals, had big chances in the form of a penalty, [...]
Leaving the Emirates last night, after Arsenal had blitzed Aston Villa over 95+ minutes, I’m sure I wasn’t the only Gooner thinking “that’s more like it” as I queued for the Victoria Line at Highbury & Islington. One swallow does not a summer make and one performance does not a ‘click’ or ‘turnaround’ materialise, but [...]
Sometimes football is just hella fun, isn't it? I am here on this Monday morning thinking about how much I enjoy football. You? It's funny what a difference a day makes. This time yesterday I was tapping away at my laptop, nervously awaiting the impending North London Derby and the potential that we could come-a-cropper [...]
Winning football matches is hella fun. I like it. I like it indeed. And although at the time I felt moments of frustration, this was very much one of those days in which I look back at the game and realise that actually Arsenal played quite well. In fact you'd say the 1-0 scoreline probably [...]
No messing around from Arteta yesterday, was there? What I mean by that was he dropped a press conference in the morning following what will have been a late night on the Wednesday. I left pretty much after the final whistle on Wednesday and I got home at half 12, so they must have got [...]
I can't say I'm overly confident about today's match if I'm completely honest with you. Aubameyang aside, this will be the same side that looked so lifeless and defensively fragile as the one that started the season against Brentford, only this time, we're playing a team that has just started the season with a comprehensive [...]
