Well, that was a whirlwind 24 hours as an Arsenal fan, wasn’t it? This time yesterday I was writing about the Trossard deal, trying to justify what felt like quite an odd move from the club, as it appeared as though we were unlikely to be doing any more business. I pondered over what we [...]
The sheer volume of cash that floats around the Premier League is mental, isn't it? I mean, when you get newly promoted Sunderland about to drop £51million plus add-ons (because you have to always talk about the add-ons these days, it seems) for Lois Openda from RB Leipzig, it really hits home. This is a [...]
It's a weird match day of sorts, because technically it's a North London Derby day but in reality, this has none of the usual jeopardy that comes with that most wretched of fixtures. So I don't really know how I feel about it. It's because of that lack of jeopardy that I am trying to [...]
Do you know what I love? A good ol' fashioned story about how shirt sales have paid for a transfer. Nothing beats it. It reminds me of the early 2ks when you hear stories like how Beckham's fee that Real Madrid paid to United was paid for overnight. It does make me chuckle. So when [...]
The big ones just keep on coming and after Liverpool and Chelsea both dropped points yesterday, Arsenal have an opportunity to put the rough start to 2025 behind them by going and picking up all three points against The Scum. Strap yourselves in, boys and girls, because it's North London Derby day. Or night. I [...]
Whilst basking in a North London Derby victory is plenty of fun and I intend on doing it a bit more today, there's no rest for the wicked this week, with Atalanta on Thursday and so probably Mikel and the team leaving for Italy either later today or first thing tomorrow. I wonder if they [...]
I've been listening to a song recently by Becky Hill called "I could get used to this". Three North London Derby away wins in three seasons for The Arsenal. I definitely could get used to this. I said pre game yesterday and in the days leading up to this that I hate this game in [...]
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]
Happy North London Derby Saturday folks. Well, I say 'happy', but when it's away to them, it's never really happy is it? We hate them, they hate us and aside from going to the Toilet Bowl two season's in a row and getting a win, that place has been a very unhappy hunting ground in the last [...]
Here we go folks, strap yerselves in, because we're now on the countdown the North London Derby and that means any of the football media outlets you usually tune in to will be awash with COMBINED NORTH LONDON DERBY XI'S, ex-players talking about how this is 'make or break' for both teams, discussions around why [...]
