The good thing about us playing on Monday night was that it means we've got less time to wait until the weekend, and easily the biggest of the three games so far this season against Chelsea. Because of that, I'm hopeful that the thnkpieces from journos (and to be fair, bloggers like me) about how [...]
Compared to the walk in the park that was our opening weekend win against Coventry, this was always going to be a sterner test than a newly promoted side, and so it transpired as such a thing last night in Birmingham. We all know that Villa have been decimated. We know they have lost a [...]
We're around 36 hours (at the time of writing) away from the Transfer Window closing tomorrow evening, but thankfully for me, anyway, I'm less bothered about those goings-on and more bothered about what happens on the pitch tonight at Villa Park. We're at match week two all but completed, and the two familiar faces that [...]
I'm back in Blighty following a week in the sun in Portugal, and yesterday I was making the journey back home whilst all the fun was happening for other teams in the Premier League. It's fair to say that so far, there are a few nice surprises that have popped up, whilst equally there are [...]
Here we go, people! It's matchday! The Champions - that's us, by the way - kick off the Premier League season tonight with a home game against newly promoted Coventry City, and whilst I am looking forward to it, I'm also gutted that I booked a holiday to Portugal, where my plane leaves at 4pm [...]
So it appears that, as in every summer transfer window, Arteta has got his wish once more...another defender! Ornstein confirmed it, tap-in merchant Romano confirmed it, then the major outlets like Sky Sports confirmed it, with HandOfArsenal going the next level with his Tweet: Deal agreed between Arsenal and Aston Villa in the region of [...]
It's the countdown to the start of the season now, and I don't know about you, but I'm really feeling it. The anxiety of getting over the line from last season is gone. We're champions. We're the ones with the gold badge on the arm. We're the club that everyone is looking at and aiming to [...]
Morning all. So, here we are again. Nothing. There's no Bruno Guimaraes news – no bid, no "talks progressing", not even a lazily-sourced "Arsenal are monitoring the situation" to chew on over a coffee. And then yesterday Sky went and confirmed the thing a few of us had already quietly braced ourselves for: Vinicius Junior [...]
Chelsea really are like the little baby brother who cries for attention, aren't they? It's quite amusing, actually. And Morgan Rogers doing his "I've joined the biggest club in London" schtick was funny too. Mate, pull the other one, it's got bells on. The club you just joined finished 10th, you act more like a [...]
I saw a video yesterday of Rice and Odegaard having a long conversation after the England v Norway game on Saturday evening. Seeing those two locked in a chat was interesting, and had me thinking what they might be talking about. Maybe Martin was asking Declan how sick he was? Maybe they were talking about [...]
