Morning all. No better place to start today than to chew the fat over the club statement that was released by Arsenal on the official website in the aftermath of the game at St James' Park on Saturday evening. You can read it here if you haven't already done so. The club have backed the [...]
There is very little to be happy about this morning after that defeat at St James' Park last night. Very little indeed. Firstly, Arsenal simply did not do enough to win this game. Another key cog in our team was taken out pre match with the absence of Martin Odegaard and in his place we [...]
That was a pretty miserable night last night, if truth be told. I made the schlep all the way to the other side of London, to that soulless bowl of a stadium, having had to virtually sprint at every stage coming from West London as I had an over-running work event that I had to [...]
Morning Gooners - we all good? It's a wet Thursday in London today and I'm sticking it out at home methinks - no sense in becoming a drowned rat travelling in to London. So what's going on in the world of football then, eh? Well first and foremost let's take a pause in utter astonishment [...]
We've had three draws this season and for a side who have aspirations on the title, you can look at that after nine games and without knowing any context think "hmm...that's not exactly the most amazing start". But, as with all things, context is everything and I don't think there is an Arsenal fan out [...]
Morning Gooners - hope all is ok with you? Had a rubbish night sleep - work stuff playing on the mind - so feeling like I've been hit by a bus. Haven't even touched a drop of alcohol either, so it makes it even more annoying. But there you go, such is life and all [...]
Morning Gooners and happy Monday to you. I was in the Algarve over the weekend and so didn't have much chance to pen any thoughts, but as it was an international weekend that kind of worked out well for me, because Eddie Nketiah first England appearance aside in the last 20 minutes of the friendly [...]
Morning folks - we all good? Or are you one of the many people slightly irritated by the 'Refs mic'd up' content Sky Sports pushed out last night featuring refereeing chief Howard Webb and, oddly, Michael Owen? On the Owen stuff, I'm not sure i've ever seen any kind of tactical insight worth him being [...]
Having been in the Cotswolds with friends enjoying some relaxation, booze and nice food, I managed to avoid the post match frustration from Saturday until yesterday evening. James and I did the Same Old Arsenal post match pod chat and, if I'm honest, on this occasion it didn't feel like as much catharsis as it [...]
Morning all, hope we're all ok on this Thursday in August? It was good getting the business done earlier, eh? I remember too many times getting to the last week of the window thinking "nope, we're still too short, they HACE to do something soon". Of course quite often it would be leaving it until [...]
