Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]

What a way to start off a day - with bloody COVID. Well, at least Arsenal are away this weekend and so there is at least that up side that I'm not going to miss going to a game this weekend. It's scuppers a few socialising plans I have but such is life. I move [...]

I'm going to let you 'in behind the curtain' a little here and level with you, these words were written yesterday (Saturday), as I knew that I would be rather hungover and probably in no mood to sit at my computer and tap away at the keyboard for 20 minutes whilst trying to prepare myself [...]

Trust in your squad, but go strong up top, Arsenal

Another matchday for our boys and it's Europa League action tonight to take centre stage of our minds. I think the mindset of Arsenal fans I follow online is so fascinating with this one, you know, because there seems to be a big split between whether or not we 'go for it' and play the [...]

Arsenal’s average record in Portugal means Arteta won’t rotate much

Morning folks and welcome to match day. Hope we're all good? Inexplicably and completely without any intention, I grabbed the first football shirt that I could find in my wardrobe last night to wear today for work (desk jockey who can work from home, so I pretty much wear what I want when I'm not [...]

Approaching Man City with calmness – win-win for Arsenal tonight?

Matchday it is and I have to tell you, rather than the usual trepidation I feel ahead of a massive game, I am more excited for this one. Honestly, I really am! I think it is because - as I've said all week - this is priority number three on our list and regardless of [...]

Morning morning Gooners, hope you’re all feeling fan-dabby-dozy on this here Thursday morn? Todays blog is coming to you from inside a BA aircraft, as we take a wee short trip up to Northumberland for The Management’s family birthday dinner on Saturday night. Annoyingly, it means that I can’t make my way up to the [...]

Mass rotation at Oxford must be on the cards for Arsenal

Good morning morning, from a wonderfully sunny Maldives, which is roasting hot too as well as being stunningly beautiful. With all this beauty around me there’s clearly only one thing on my mind, which is: I wonder whether Emile Smith Rowe is fit enough to start this evening? You can take the Gooner out of [...]

Arteta’s good squad management – so far…

Decided to Google 'Arsenal news' this morning to see what the chatter was online.  Wish I hadn't have bothered. It was all talk about potential transfer signings in January. I mean, come on, we're still in October for Christ's sake. Talking about potential signings now is like when supermarkets start putting Christmas items on the [...]

PSV are no mugs – time for Nketiah and Sambi to step up

It's match day, it's p*ssing it down, but I'm as excited as always to have The Arsenal playing this evening. Sure, it may be at a slightly irritating time - what with it being a 6pm kick off and therefore straight after work, but it is still an Arsenal match and that means hopefully an [...]
