It's Tuesday, a full three days since we were defeated against the state-funded Oil Whores, yet that defeat still stings a little bit. I guess it's partially also due to the fact that on Sunday those teams around us all picked up wins and now we're only a couple of points ahead of the Scum, [...]
Morning Gooners, did you all watch the mauling of the San Marino Minnows yesterday by England, eh? I have to tell you, I experienced a wide range of emotions yesterday, whilst watching England smash the worst team in the FIFA World Rankings: Joy at the fact we had three Arsenal lads starting for the first [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to the first Saturday of 2021 and blow me down if it isn't a Saturday match day for us. We've had so many Sunday's as a result of cup competitions and the Europa League, that playing on a Saturday feels like a novelty. Alright, it may be an 8pm kick off [...]
We all know it’s a glorified friendly, but yesterday’s penalty shootout victory against Liverpool is still a nice little bonus to start the season and against a team with more prep time and who are clear favourites to win the league again, it was nice to see us competing throughout the game. We were spritely, [...]
After the game on Thursday Arteta said it’s his job to pick up the players form the crushing feeling of a last second goal in extra time. But actually the man now has the weight of an entire club - including the fan base - with which to lift the mood. It’s strange though. We’re [...]
Happy Boxing Day folks. It's a football-infused one today and wouldn't you know it, Arsenal have an actual 3pm kick off for a change. We also have a level of excitement that genuinely hasn't existed all season, because it's the first official game of Mikel Arteta's reign in charge and the possibilities feel endless. That's [...]
Howdy all and happy match day to you. I don't know why but I don't feel as nervous about this one as I probably should. With our away form in the league seeing us tank and probably drop out of the top four unless something changes, this game could have far-reaching repercussions on our season, [...]

After an 11th consecutive victory we really should be getting any minor niggles and parking them right now I think, but it's hard to completely ignore them, so I'll quickly get them out of the way first and then we can start to talk about the good stuff. Sporting Lisbon are - let's face it [...]
A few 'firsts' from yesterday's game that were worth picking up on I thought. First of the 'firsts' - a clean sheet! How about that eh? Turns out we do know how to do those, even with our most impressive defender of the season - Sokratis - picking up an injury early on and being [...]
