So, we have ourselves a League Cup tonight and following Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, we've got a bit of speculation over who he's going to start that is the key topic for today, for sure. Arteta gave an update following on from Sunday's win over Palace and with a number of players coming off [...]
Well now, that turned out to be a lovely ol' weekend of football we've just had, didn't it? It may not have been the most exciting game that we engaged with on Saturday night, but given how serenely we went about collecting our away points at Fulham, it was much preferred over the kamikaze way [...]
It's League Cup match day today and I don't know about you, but sometimes it's nice to not feel the pressure of the Premier League or Champions League and just 'watch' an Arsenal game, right? It's a little like the summer friendlies. You can watch, you can have your preferences for victory being The Arsenal, [...]
I said it as I was on my way home last night from The Emirates, but that was your archetypal 'tale of two halves' from The Arsenal last night, from attacking sense, I mean. Arteta suggested he would do a bit of rotation and I had a feeling that Tierney would make his way back [...]
It's League Cup action tonight as we play Palace at home and I think I speak for everyone (maybe) when I say: Play all the squaddies Mikel! I've chosen my words carefully here, because the usual response with a game like this is 'kids', but I think we're in need of some rotation tonight and [...]
I've woken up this morning to an absolute gale swirling around outside my house, but it was Arsenal who were doing the blowing away yesterday, showing their true colours to absolutely batter Nottingham Forest yesterday afternoon. Pre match talk was of how impressive Forest have been this season; they know their strengths and they play [...]
I didn't blog yesterday, because I kind of wanted the dust to settle a little bit of the emotion of the weekend. It gets a little easier each day though, plus I'm about to bugger off to Portugal at the weekend, as well as getting time with the guys to go over the season as [...]
It's another match day today and another opportunity for me to get too worried and stressed ahead of yet another 'cup final' for The Arsenal, as we take on Chelsea at the Emirates in what I believe, is going to be a very tough game. These always are. Last season's felt relatively comfortable, but that's [...]
I know it’s a little “Captain Hindsight” with what I’m about to say, but just as I got to my seat in the North Bank to settle in to a rotated Arsenal side take on a depleted and injury-hit Luton Town, I said to Nick and Lee - the gents around me - that I [...]
Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]
