Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. I have my work Christmas party this evening, so whether I'm in any fit state tomorrow morning to drop a few words on this virtual page I don't know, but for now I'm good so will crack on for now, although there hasn't been a presser, there's little more [...]

Profligate Arsenal come unstuck at Villa

That one was a tough one to take yesterday, because as Arteta put it after the game, we were the better team and should have put the ball in the back of the net. We knew what we would get last night. Under the lights, on TV, Villa playing well at home and currently on [...]

These are the games that could define Arsenal’s season – Villa away

I'd be telling you a big fat festive Christmas fib if I didn't admit to being anything other than nervous about today's game at Villa Park. I've been reading a few bits online, I've been taking in some Arsenal podcasts, plus reading a few Villa blogs too. They are cautiously optimistic. They know that it [...]

Is this season the hardest Premier League ever?

Given the games are coming thick and fast at the moment, no sooner had the euphoria of Tuesday's win settled down for me yesterday evening, I immediately started thinking about the challenge of Aston Villa ahead on Saturday. This was amplified when I saw that Villa were playing City at home in the evening and [...]

Last-gasp Arsenal do ‘limbs’ against Luton

Sometimes it's just good to start at the end and work backwards, which is what I think I'll do today, because last night as Declan Rice's 97th minute header hit the back of Luton's net, I let out a high pitch scream that woke the Management and the cat up from their slumbers in the [...]

Arteta will stress the importance of not underestimating the Hatters

Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]

Should Arteta throw a selection curveball against Newcastle tonight?

Happy match day gooners! You nervous about this one? I know I am. This is going to be tough going this evening, I reckon, because it's a tough place to go, it'll be a cold wet one up north (not even remotely an excuse though), we have injuries and we've just come off of the [...]

Defeat at West Ham – It’s the manner rather than the result that irritates

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 [...]

Arsenal and Eddie engage in a Sheffield mauling

“You’ll batter us today” was the quote I heard as I ordered my first pint yesterday. A Sheffield United fan had travelled down from Yorkshire with his mates and they had come for a day out rather than any expectation of an upset. Naturally my response was measured; a few pleasantries about never knowing and [...]

Is less games the answer for football?

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 [...]
