"Late one last night, was it?" "You could say that" The words this morning from the Management when she got up this morning; I'd come crashing through the door at after 12am and slunk straight in to bed. It was flipping worth it though. My, wasn't it worth it, eh? Arsenal are in to the [...]
Big one tonight lads and lasses. It's a second leg Champions League tie against FC Porto and Arsenal have a one goal deficit that they need to overcome if there is to be more Champions League football played at The Emirates this season. Mikel Arteta and his players know exactly what is needed and they [...]
Happy Monday folks - how are we all doing? Yesterday morning we did the Same Old Arsenal pod and had a great session discussion Saturday's win over Brentford, which was followed up by the perfect result at Anfield yesterday as Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw against Man City. That second half was interesting, [...]
City gave Luton a bit of a hammering last night and whilst at first my instant reaction was 'oh no' I think the reality is that we need their schedule to be as packed as possible. The more games they have loaded in to their schedule the better and this will mean that they have [...]
This morning before I headed in to the office I did my usual run to get my day started and I listened to another podcast that is on my regular rotation, from the lads over at The Arsenal Opinion podcast and they got in to a discussion that I've been thinking about myself over the [...]
That was a tough one to take in the end and I don't think I'm the only Arsenal fan that feels a little shell shocked by the way we lost that game away to Porto last night in the Champions League. Like, I'm not even angry or ready to pile in on the team, I'm [...]
It's Champions League match day and it's an away day in Porto for the travelling Gooners who will be soaking up some sun and some nice Douro reds in Portugal's second city, I'm sure. I'm off to Porto in the summer and I have to say I have a lot of jealousy right now that [...]
There's little time for basking this week, as Champions League is back on the menu and tomorrow night Arsenal take to the pitch in the first of our two-legged tie against Porto for a spot in the quarter final. It's an old-familiar foe for us; during the consistency years of always finishing fourth under Wenger, [...]
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 [...]
The last working Tuesday of my year and it's the day after we've learned our Champions League Round of 16 fate. And I have to say I was hopeful of getting Porto in the next round. It's a city I've always wanted to visit, at a time in the year where the weather will be [...]
