Happy bank holiday Monday, kids. Hope all is well with you, and you have something nice planned? I'm still in the cold North, so it'll be a day of chilling and probably doing a bit of boozing too, before the reality bump back down to earth tomorrow by doing some work remotely. The Arsenal players [...]
At Arteta's press conference yesterday, he was inevitably asked about the withdrawals of players from international duty and - according to the official site version of events, anyway - he played the most impressive of straight bats. To be fair, he will have known these questions would be coming; he'd have been briefed by the [...]
Ok, so, I think we know we have at least one guy coming back from the two sets of internationals, not broken, as Kai Havertz came off at halftime yesterday evening, having scored a penalty right on the strike of the half to put Germany one-up in Stuttgart. Phew. With him returning, having played an [...]
Right...so...I think there's been enough time elapsed - for me personally - to start to get over the sting of losing a cup final. I have made peace with the fact that the League Cup as an entity despises Arsenal and has never forgiven us for injuring one of our own players in Steve Morrow [...]
Well, that was disappointing yesterday, wasn't it? Another League Cup Final, another defeat in it, and at this point, it feels like that competition is as cursed for us as the European ones are. Simply put, Arsenal only showed up for one half, on a day in which there were hopes that we could get [...]
Here we are boys and girls: Cup Final Day. This is our first one since Mikel Arteta took us to Wembley for the FA Cup, albeit behind closed doors, and it's the first time we've been at Wembley since we played in the Community Shield back in 2023. That day, we saw Kai Havertz and [...]
So, we've had the managers both say their piece ahead of tomorrow, and from it we at least know one bit of news - James Trafford will start in goal. I guess the second piece that we also know is that Marc Guehi can't play, but that was already a well-documented situation from the semi-final. [...]
Happy match day, boys and girls. Well, it will be if we win; otherwise, curse this infernal day. It's Everton at The Emirates, and yesterday Mikel Arteta and David Moyes had their respective press conferences. I want to obviously focus on Arteta's press conference, which I thought was one of the best that he's done [...]
Happy Monday, guys and gals. Hope you're all ok? This morning I am thinking about Pierro Hincapie, who got on the pitch this weekend, after Trossard's injury, to help us win at Mansfield and get our name in the hat for tonight's draw. I'll give some thoughts on the draw in a minute, but back [...]
Oh Dear. The Tiny Totts. Blimey. Crystal Palace, who are hardly a team you'd describe as in form, went to the w*nky Tottenham Hotspur and said: Much obliged. My brother is a West Ham fan. On my Dad's side of the family, they are all Hammers. He's been pretty down of late. But I messaged [...]
