It's the big one today, folks. The Champions League Final. Arsenal play PSG, the side that vanquished us in the semi-final last season over two legs. It's the 'game of your lifetime'. Last season I actually went into the semi-final in a pretty confident mood. We'd beaten PSG pretty well at home, we'd already managed [...]
Yesterday afternoon/evening, there was a flurry of articles that were released interviewing Josh Kroenke, as the co-chairman of Arsenal, to discuss the journey that the club has been on since he and his father became majority stakeholders at The Arsenal. I myself read the Telegraph one by Sam Dean (my dad has an account so [...]
This midweek has felt like a weird one. There haven't been a ton of things to say, in all honesty; we've all been basking in the reflective glow of the Premier League title win, whilst also feeling a little weird that we have an arguably bigger prize in just two days' time. But as the [...]
After a big win, I usually say things like "let the basking continue" or thereabouts. If we beat a Chelsea, or a Liverpool, City, etc - you feel like you can bathe in the radiant glow of victory. Even though they have been a tragic side this season, beating the Scum in the North London [...]
Happy Sunday to you and yours and everyone who is celebrating this most special of days: Coronation Day. Today, those Arsenal players will take to the pitch for the last time this season in the Premier League; by the time the final whistle goes, they will be lifting the Premier League title. The name has [...]
It's so weird to think that until yesterday, we hadn't heard a peep from Mikel Arteta. The man who has spent the most time of anybody associated with the 'process' under the greatest scrutiny hadn't been seen or heard of (that I can see) until yesterday's press conference and media day ahead of the Champions [...]
Yesterday was about joy. It was about the feeling. What it meant after so long. We did a 'vibes' pod on the Same Old Arsenal after work that leaned into that. I got some literal 'receipts' from my drawers to illustrate a point about all of those rival fans and pundits that called us bottlers [...]
We've done it. They've done it. Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team/staff have delivered. They asked us to 'Trust the process." Now they can rightfully say, "this is why". I didn't watch the game last night. I am an irrational football fan, and I believe in football karma. I believe I have some kind of [...]
I don't think any of us, deep down, thought that yesterday's victory over Burnley would be the absolute drubbing that we wanted. Sure, Burnley are crap, sure, they're relegated and have little to play for, but this Arsenal team seems to be masters of making life difficult. And so it proved yesterday. And yet, in [...]
It's match day, people, and the nerves have, once again, properly kicked in. Arsenal have it all within their own power to win a Premier League title. Just two wins. Just two wins. Sounds simple, right? Well, yes, the logic of it is. Arsenal start the first half of this two-part challenge tonight against Burnley, [...]
