After the three points were confirmed against Fulham last weekend, I gave a little fist pump in the air in my kitchen to myself. That felt like a big win. I immediately started thinking about this weekend. "If we can beat Palace and Leeds, then we'll be in a really good position to go for [...]
Given that the away goals rule no longer counts for anything, a scoring draw away from home doesn't really mean as much as it used to, which is only annoying when your team has indeed bagged a score draw in the away leg. Of course with us not in the competition last year I didn't [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? Looking forward to the weekend and a wee taste of The Arsenal ahead of the season starting back up on Boxing Day? I know I am. I might even tune in to the live feeds of the press conference I'm sure Arteta will give today at some stage. There [...]
Blimey, how about that for a couple of quarter finals yesterday, eh? Clearly both Brazil and Croatia, as well as Argentina and The Netherlands, were watching the Dubai Super Cup the other day and thought "do you know what? We fancy a go at that 'penalties after the match' kinda vibe". What a pull our [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing then, eh? This weekend I've watched most of that FID+FA documentary and my word, isn't that organisation a real piece of work, eh? And as for that Qatar 2022 bid, blimey, it wasn't exactly the most convincing of tales told by the people behind that bid, that's for [...]

Update…wrote this this morning, but it didn’t send! So hitting it now. Have a good one folks! ****** Morning Gooners. We all good on this Wednesday? I know I am. Weirdly I went out to a black tie do and I feel quite fresh this morning - think it’s because I headed the words of [...]
Yesterday's result felt like yet another milestone, yet another narrative, was knocked down. On opening day it was the "tough game under the lights", after five games it was the "yeah but the teams you've played have been rubbish", but yesterday we played a good and in form team, whose fans are bullish, playing them [...]
Football is hella fun when your team plays well. And right now, it is hella fun, I can tell you that, because confidence is simply overflowing in this Arsenal team and you and I , my friend, are the beneficiaries of that. Yesterday represented a potential banana skin, as all of the games do in [...]
Well now, I tell you what, if you could pick out a perfect Saturday to have as an Arsenal fan, you couldn't have done much better than what we were treated to yesterday in the heat of the August sun at the Emirates yesterday. The weather was sublime, the crowd were upbeat and excitable with [...]
