It was nice having a Sunday yesterday in which the results of the football didn't really matter. Having done our business on the Saturday and also seeing City and the Scum drop points, it was only Liverpool who got a result that we wouldn't class as delicious and juicy, so I spent my day enjoying [...]
Well this is all getting rather fun at the moment, isn't it? Arsenal romped to yet another hammering of an opponent and much like last weekend it was a claret and blue clad side who fell to our boys in fluorescent yellow. Arteta had spoken about the return of some players from injury in his [...]
Matchday it is and it's a chance to keep pace with Liverpool and City. City play in the evening, Liverpool play at lunchtime and given the two opponents they have, I'm not expecting us to have anything beneficial come out of their two games, so we simply must do the business against Burnley in the [...]
Happy Friday folks! Hope you've had yourself a decent enough week? We're approaching the weekend showdown with Burnley and the two James' - Messieurs Cook and Johnstone - were previewing the show last night on the Same Old Arsenal podcast which you can have a watch/listen to here if you're that way inclined. For me [...]
Well it wasn’t quite the hammering that we saw against Sheffield United a few weeks back, but as expected Arsenal did the job at The Emirates yesterday against a struggling Burnley side. Pre game I wrote about how I expected them to be a little more progressive than the Burnley of old, I expected them [...]
Another Saturday 3pm match day: I could get used to this. It's Burnley at home at The Emirates today and this is one in which we want to send the international boys off to their respective countries with a swing in their step and another three points on the board. In year's gone by the [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday. We're just over 24 hours until we take to the field against Burnley and we'll hear from Mikel at some stage today about the team news for this one and I'm sure he'll be asked about the fitness of a certain Thomas Partey, with whom the noises are now [...]
Turns out that going Invincible isn't for everyone, eh? Well, if you're going to play that high a line against any Premier League side whilst down to ten men, then you absolutely get what you deserve. But I'll speak no more about them today I think, instead reflecting on what it means for us, because [...]
Howdy folks and welcome to Tuesday - how we all doing? I've woken up feeling a bit chipper and that is grand. I don't know why though; maybe just a good night sleep and after the grim grey day of yesterday it is sunny outside today. It won't last - this is England. And it [...]
The frustration I am still feeling after yesterday's 0-0 draw at home to Burnley is still coursing through my veins. It makes me clench my fists harder because yesterday felt like a game we just had to - by some way or another - get a scrappy win and then we could reset. But Burnley [...]
