Morning Gooners - happy Friday and all that jazz. Hopefully you're looking forward to the weekend and the Arsenal on Sunday? I do hate Sunday games in general. Saturday's have always been the best time to play football and Sunday just feels like a long wait, feels like you have to hang around a bit, [...]
Happy Thursday folks. Hope you're all recovered from the emosh of Tuesday night's Champions League encounter? One thing that I didn't touch on yesterday when I was still pretty raging, was how the tie is so finely balanced, so I thought I'd jot down some initial thoughts on that now. I do think the impact of [...]
Morning folks and happy Monday to you and yours. We got an unexpected bit of good news yesterday, didn't we, eh? Honestly when I saw Liverpool go one up in the first half against an injury-hit and out of form Man United, I was tempted to just turn the TV off and go and do [...]
This Arsenal team is REALLY good. Like, REALLY good you know. I was proper nervous about yesterday. Brighton have lost one game at home all season. Liverpool could only manage a draw. The Scum got beat there. Only West Ham have picked up maximum points at the Amex and even that was a smash and grab [...]
We're back up and running again today with another Arsenal match as we try to navigate this death run month that is April and it's a trip to The Amex for Arteta's lads in the early evening kick off game. And folks, I gotta tell ya, I think this will be a tough one tonight. [...]
I went for my afternoon run first thing this morning, which has its benefits because rather than speculate on what Arteta has to say in his press conference today, it's happening literally as I type out today's ramblings. So I have a bity of a real time reaction opportunity this Friday morn, which is novel. [...]
We're here at another matchday, as our month of intense football is now well underway, with Luton at home tonight. On paper at least you'd look at our April fixture list and say this is the one in which Arsenal would have the highest odds and should be considered the overwhelming favourites for the three [...]
As I and many others predicted in the build up to this match, there would be no basketball-style game, leading to goals galore. Instead, this was every bit the chess match, played between two teams who are stylistically even matched and two managers who follow similar footballing philosophies. There was the inevitable chiding online from [...]
It's Good Friday, we've just finished off a bit of a preview pod on the Same Old Arsenal podcast (you can have a look here), we've got ourselves a press conference from Mikel Arteta coming up at some stage today and then he'll give us a low down on where the team is at and [...]
So, we're done with this frigging pointless friendlies and, as suspected Gareth Southgate kept Declan Rice on the pitch for the full 96 minutes last night. I flicked on and awatched about 10 minutes of the first half as I was cooking to see Pickford have a howler, then I heard about Lewis Dunk's howler, [...]
