This is going to be really tough today. A lot tougher than I think I thought it would be, actually, because Leeds will want to come at us and hit us hard and fast and we need to be ready. They have had a week off to prepare for our arrival. They will have spent [...]
Morning Gooners and may the happiest of Friday's be bestowed upon you and yours. Yesterday evening we continued our good form with a functional, if not very thrilling, 1-0 win over Bodo/Glimt. It wasn't the prettiest thing to watch, but hey, I think there are some mitigating factors here, such as: Bodo/Glimt hadn't lost in [...]
With our next game of this hectic schedule taking place tomorrow evening in the Europa League, we're back into the swing of all the football in October pretty quickly, so I thought ahead of our next match, against the first opponent I've ever seen who seem to face an identity crisis in their team name, [...]
The countdown feels like it truly commenceth today, my good friends. We are on T-minus three days and counting after today until the North London Derby and with the players all starting to make their way back to London Colney to be assessed on their fitness ahead of what is feeling - as always - [...]

Well now, isn't it nice to start the week run up to Christmas knowing that whatever happens, The Arsenal will be fourth on Christmas Day. We may not stay there, we may fall away and have a shocker of a Christmas period between now and the new year, but as it stands we can smile [...]
Very rarely do I write my blog title each day before I actually start typing my usual daily thoughts. Normally I just spill out on to the virtual page a selection of what I'm thinking about, then I try to put some kind of link between the headline and the waffle I've just written. But [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday. The last one in October. How on earth is it nearly November already? Anyhoo, we should get ourselves a press conference today and that means we'll get an update on the player availability situation, which Mikel will obviously elaborate on at some stage today. I'm a natural worrier though [...]
No time to talk about nonsense rumours like Aubameyang to Man City, or Willian finally being booted out, because it's match day! Whoop! And in recent year's, even though we haven't exactly smashed teams in the League Cup, I do tend to like the build up to them I must admit. I think it's because [...]
