So, we have ourselves a League Cup tonight and following Mikel Arteta's press conference yesterday, we've got a bit of speculation over who he's going to start that is the key topic for today, for sure. Arteta gave an update following on from Sunday's win over Palace and with a number of players coming off [...]
They talk about us as 'paranoid' as a fanbase. They say that we're so vocal and that we are the most conspiracy-driven collective of supporters. We're apparently the loudest when it comes to believing that we have it worse than any other team. But isn't that any wonder then, that when you get the likes [...]
Well now, that turned out to be a very Arsenal-friendly weekend in the end, eh? Perhaps not the 'perfect' weekend, as the Scum still won, but good enough that we can look at the table after nine games and see three defeats for City and four for Liverpool, who sit six and seven points off [...]
Having successfully navigated and thoroughly enjoyed Hate Watch Saturday, I am now fully focused on match day Sunday and I gotta tell ya, the nerves are proper kicking in already. Last season, every time Liverpool slipped up, we weren't able to capitalise. I remember seeing that Liverpool had slipped up in match week 16 and drawn [...]
Happy Saturday folks. I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing you have something enjoyable planned. Me, I’m going to get myself out for a run, then I’m going to settle down to watch some football at home this afternoon, as the Management and the mother-in-law are in London watching Black Sabbath: The [...]
I'm going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it's party town history than it's football team, but there you go), but before [...]
To demonstrate how fast football moves... Yesterday I woke up feeling terrible. I'd started to come down with a fever on Tuesday afternoon and by the time the Arsenal game on I was running a high temperature and got barely any sleep, going to bed straight after the game. That mean that yesterday morning I [...]
We're back again for a match day and it's a tricky one in the shape of Simeone's Atletico Madrid who come to town looking to spoil our party and recent form by picking up three points in this horrible large-league format. Arteta knows that a win today would be a big one and with 15/16 [...]
Well now, that turned out to be a lovely ol' weekend of football we've just had, didn't it? It may not have been the most exciting game that we engaged with on Saturday night, but given how serenely we went about collecting our away points at Fulham, it was much preferred over the kamikaze way [...]
Sometimes football can feel like a slog. Like some kind of grind. Something you just have to endure. Sometimes it feels like it goes on forever. "This game feels like it's been going on for four hours" The Management said to me on around 84 minutes. Arsenal had huffed and puffed their way through a [...]
