That was about as much fun as the weather last night. Arsenal had an opportunity to really lay down a marker against an injury-hit, beleaguered, and not really in form (despite what the ‘unbeaten run will tell you) Liverpool team. And they just didn’t take it. The opportunity was there, and no such marker was [...]
Well now. That was one heck of a successful hate-watch midweek edition, wasn’t it? The Scum lost to a last-gasp winner (and the manager tries everything, including being given an Arsenal cup and told to drink from it because they’ve ’bottled’ some of Mikel Arteta’s tactical ju-ju in there Man United can’t hold off Burnley [...]
It's a watching brief for us today and this evening, with our game on tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I said I expected some kind of upset in Manchester. Brighton is a good team; they picked up a win in their last game, but their visits to some of the so-called 'big clubs' of [...]
It's day two back in the office for me, and I already feel bloody knackered, so much for the rest and recharging of the Christmas period. I don't know how these footballers do it, you know. Well, I do, because they get lots of sleep, and they also treat their bodies like temples, not waste [...]
Morning all, and welcome to the first Monday of 2026. From a working point of view, given I took Friday off, it sucks. But from an Arsenal point of view, well, it has been a pretty successful and enjoyable Monday in which to write about the current situation. I'll be honest with you, at the [...]
Happy Sunday boys and girls. We all feeling good about yet another Arsenal win? I know I am. I must admit that on 11 minutes of the game after Gabriel had played the most hospitally of hospital balls across his side of the 18-yard box to gift Evanilson a tap in, I did not have [...]
I decided to half-watch the Sunderland v City game on my phone yesterday, whilst rounding off my New Years Eve celebrations with one more night in the Cotswolds and a Thai takeaway, with Crocodile Dundee and then the World's Strongest Man on the TV instead of inflicting my friends on an evening of football. I'm [...]
For the last few matches I've read a few blogs, listened to a few podcasts and spoken to a few mates, talking about how the performances haven't quite matched the goal threat we have produced. I'm sure you've been exposed to the whole "Arsenal have one goal from 9 xG" narrative as much as I [...]
Happy match day folks - hope we're all good? Well, I say "happy" match day, but we all know that is predicated on whether Arsenal can collect all three points tonight against a red-hot Aston Villa on fine form at the moment, and going into this game feeling like they can beat anybody. And they [...]
It;s Monday, I think, and at some stage between now and midnight we'll get a team update from Mikel Arteta. By which time whatever I say now will probably be old news. So rather than look at what's going on with Arsenal, why don't we have a look at what we might face with Aston [...]
