Talk about a variation of emotions from the start, middle and ending of a football match, eh? On about 75 minutes Amanda messaged me and asked whether to bother with doing a post match Same Old Arsenal podcast. It'd been a pretty turgid game, punctuated only with the occasional bright spark from eventual man of [...]
Sometimes I write the headlines before I own a single thought on here. But coming out of the ground last night with Arsenal all but secured an automatic spot in the last 16 of the Champions League, that’s exactly what I felt, because we were never really troubled at all against a Zagreb team who [...]
That felt very much like a professional 'job done' from Arteta and the boys last night. It literally felt like the archetypal result that ticked all of the boxes: Minutes into legs of squad players Young players given the opportunity to shine Comfortable result Controlling possession and football played Arteta's way No new injuries (that [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing, eh? I'm on me travels again today, this time heading up to Northumberland to see The Management's family for the weekend, which is good really because it coincides with this interminable international break, so I can be fully 'present' and not distracted for a solid four hours for the [...]

But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]
Happy Saturday to you and your kin. My weekend started early due to some annual leave I've been soaking in for the last few days, but at least there's been some football - albeit some pretty semi-shocking football on Wednesday - to keep me busy. I've been through my thoughts on the midweek action and [...]
A little holiday away from work awaits yours truly here after today's London grind, so apologies if the timing of the blogs get a little wayward, a bit like a loose Fabregas kick into the centre of a group of players inside a penalty box I suppose. What a bit of madness that was, eh? [...]
Happy Easter Saturday in which let's all be completely honest with each other, unless we get a win this lunchtime, won't make this festive season a fun one.Liverpool come to town and it's a Liverpool team in which Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana will no doubt have miraculously recovered from the injuries that conveniently left [...]
