Arteta's rally cry on Friday was that the fans needed to have a good breakfast, then "bring your lunch and your dinner", as the atmosphere needed to be an intense one, for a fixture time that was usually a bit muted. Well, having stood in Block Five yesterday, I will tell you this: Those Arsenal [...]
I loved his comment in the press conference yesterday: The players know it, our supporters know it, it's an early kick-off, so get up early, have an early breakfast, bring your lunch, bring your dinner, and let's all go together for it because it has to be a big day. I went out and had [...]
I feel like the countdown to this huge Bournemouth game on Saturday lunchtime is well and truly on now. I remember talking about this one ahead of Southampton and Sporting Lisbon during the international break pod I did with Amanda a couple of weeks back. It's been looming over me ever since the last league [...]
Ok, so, I think we know we have at least one guy coming back from the two sets of internationals, not broken, as Kai Havertz came off at halftime yesterday evening, having scored a penalty right on the strike of the half to put Germany one-up in Stuttgart. Phew. With him returning, having played an [...]
Happy Monday, boys and girls. It's a good one to be an Arsenal fan, that's for sure, but my hope for next weekend is that it's an even gooder one this time next Monday. Before that, Arsenal have the small matter of a tough home game against Leverkusen and then a tough Cup Final game [...]
Took the old man to the game yesterday. As we exited the stadium, he said: “That was one of the worst games I’ve seen live”. He's somewhat of a semi-Arsenal fan, mainly because of me, because his family is all from East London, and so he’s a West Ham fan by design, although more of [...]
Happy match day, boys and girls. Well, it will be if we win; otherwise, curse this infernal day. It's Everton at The Emirates, and yesterday Mikel Arteta and David Moyes had their respective press conferences. I want to obviously focus on Arteta's press conference, which I thought was one of the best that he's done [...]
Here we are, guys and gals. Match day 30 and with the managers having both said their piece ahead of this game, all that's left to do is have the football do the talking tonight. As I said yesterday in a little review and look at Brighton, this is going to be really tough. With [...]
With around a day-and-a-half until our next game tomorrow night away to Brighton, there's no such opportunity as we had last week with the North London Derby, where we had a week off to bask and enjoy all the #content as the victors. Instead, just 24 hours after I was penning some post-match thoughts on [...]
City getting away with it yesterday against Leeds is no real surprise, but what it does serve to underline is that today's game against Chelsea is huge. It's a cup final. We have 10 more to go in the League. Arsenal are as much in control of their own destiny as 115 Charges FC are. [...]
