Yesterday was so very nearly the perfect footballing day. An arrival of a new signing and boyhood fan before the game, a thumping of a newly promoted side with the goals shared, your star striker off the mark, plus a debut for the 15-year-old wonderkid. Yep, yesterday could have had it all. Unfortunately for us [...]
It's match day folks and I've woken up with a bloody trapped nerve at the base of my spine. I hope it isn't a life metaphor for what we'll have to go through today, because it's bloody painful. Hopefully with some exercises and a bit of moving around it'll get freed up a bit. And [...]
It's Friday, it's press conference day, it'll be Mikel Arteta and hopefully when he's asked about Eberechi Eze at some stage, we get that Arsene Wenger pre-Ozil signing smile that has become so iconic over the years. We talked about the magnitude of it on the Same Old Arsenal podcast last night and I think [...]
Happy Wednesday folks. We'll obviously get to the Trossard stuff, the Eze, as well as how the summer is playing out and the reaction of Arsenal fans to the news that Leo has his pay rise without an extension, but before that, how about what is unfolding with Newcastle and Alexander Isak this summer, eh? [...]
I watched a few bits of the Leeds vs Everton game last night, mainly because we have Leeds at the weekend and aside from the dodgy penalty given, I have to say Leeds' desire to be quite free-flowing and forward-looking was quite refreshing. Obviously as an Arsenal fan you hope they bring that to the [...]
There's two things you absolutely cannot do in life: Look a gift horse in the mouth Scoff at three points at Old Trafford There's plenty of time for us to all look at the performance, the individual clunkiness of some of the players and the fact that this felt like a very 'Un-Arteta'-like Arsenal performance, [...]
Here we are folks - it's match day! And what a start we have to it, eh? United away. I know they won't be the force of 20 years ago, or even five years ago, but this is still Man United and it's still a place that hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us [...]
Here we go folks. The Premier League all kicks off this evening with the Scousers beating Bournemouth at home as they get a relatively comfortable home game to get themselves going. Us? Well, we know we have to wait and we know we have to play Man United at their gaff knowing all of the [...]
Ok, I just want the season up and running now, as I'm becoming a bit impatient and I'm needing to not have the 'feelings' that I've got. Those 'feelings' are the ones that are irrational and based on the fact that because nobody has really kicked a ball in anger yet, every other team has [...]
Let's do some 'real talk' here, shall we? Because it looks like - if Fabrizio Romano is to be believed - that the Scum are advancing talks ahead of us to get Eze out of Palace. The 'real talk' bit is that as much as many of us would like to, there'll be no rowing [...]
