I want to talk about Big Bill Saliba and the news that broke yesterday, but before I do that, a sad word for a young man who lost his life this week - Billy Vigar - who was once an Arsenal academy graduate. I posted about it last night, but this is tragic that a [...]
In the fullness of time a draw against Man City may not appear to be the worst result in the world. Indeed, when you get an equaliser in the dying ebbs of the game, it feels like more of a boost than it should. But given where City were, given how the game played out [...]
This is a tough one today. I said I’m going to see it as I think it on Friday, referencing the weird ‘reverse psychology’ I try to put out into the world by feeling pessimistic in hopes of some reverse karma benefiting the Arsenal, but here I am this morning still trying to impact a [...]
I had a dream last night that we played Burnley, we were beating them 2-0 and into injury time, when Bukayo Saka went down and we were arguing for a penalty in stoppage time. The ref waved it away, but then was called to the monitor, to see that the second goal we scored hit [...]
Yesterday morning I spoke of the fact that Forest could be a bit of a banana skin on account of the fact that we don't really know how they would play. In the fullness of time and with the benefit of hindsight, we can say that regardless of what they were going to do, this [...]
Here we are folks. It’s matchday. Like, a proper matchday, not like those fake match days that masquerade as if they’re matvhdays when in fact they’re international breaks. Oh how I have missed them. The nerves, the anticipation, the apprehension…it’s all here. Except…I’m at Heathrow as I type this, about to board a flight to [...]
Morning folks, hope we're all good and looking for to the re-commencement of the proper stuff tomorrow. We had some lovely videos and pictures of the players in training and as usual, as we all did our zooming in to see if there were any players not in the pictures or videos. It looks like a [...]
Given that we play them at home at the weekend, I really hope that Forest's decision to sack Nuno Espirito Santo in the early hours of this morning have a destabilising effect on them for when they rock up at the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime. Let's hope that it doesn't galvanise them and we can [...]
Well that's it then. The summer of plenty for The Arsenal ended last night with the capture of Piero Hincapie and the exits of Jakub Kiwior to Porto, Reiss Nelson to Brentford, Sambi Lokonga to Hamburg for around £10million, Fabio Vieira on loan to Hamburg and Olekzandr Zinchenko to Forest right at the death. Let's [...]
The overriding feeling I have this morning is one of frustration. Frustration that we didn't remove the hoodoo of not winning at Anfield. Frustration that we didn't make a solid first half a great second. Frustration at the injuries. Frustration at a prevailing media narrative that 'Arsenal got what they deserved', like we didn't cancel [...]
