In the cold light of the next day, last night's 2-0 win against Olympiacos felt like a routine Champions League three-pointer against an opponent from a - with all due respect - inferior league, that shouldn't really warrant too much thinking about. Indeed, Arsenal dominated the first half and probably should have put the game [...]
It's match day two of the Champions League tonight and after Liverpool dropped points to Galatasaray and the Scum also dropped points to The WIFI password, it should serve as a telling reminder that just because we are in the Best League in the World (refereeing body aside), doesn't mean we have any God-given right to [...]
It's funny how the rapid nature of football ('A week is a long time..' and all that) can work for you and against you, isn't it? I went to bed last night and as I started to drift off, I was thinking about what a big and positive result the game on Sunday was, because [...]
Where to even start after yesterday, eh? I think I want to be broadly positive today, because when you snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat with a last minute goal in extra time, then you have to be feeling positive rather than dwell on some of the negatives. So I'm going to get [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
Happy Saturday folks, hope you're doing well and after Mikel Arteta all but confirmed what we were talking about yesterday re: Saliba, that's one positive we can all take about the official announcement that the Frenchman will remain with us for a fair old dose of time yet. I liked what Arteta said about how [...]
I want to talk about Big Bill Saliba and the news that broke yesterday, but before I do that, a sad word for a young man who lost his life this week - Billy Vigar - who was once an Arsenal academy graduate. I posted about it last night, but this is tragic that a [...]
After the first five minutes last night, seeing that Port Vale had got the ball into our final third a couple of times and an excited Vale Park home set of supporters had ratcheted up the noise a little bit, I wondered whether we'd get a bit of an open cup tie unfold in Stoke. [...]
It's League Cup match day today and I don't know about you, but sometimes it's nice to not feel the pressure of the Premier League or Champions League and just 'watch' an Arsenal game, right? It's a little like the summer friendlies. You can watch, you can have your preferences for victory being The Arsenal, [...]
Ok, so we’re over 24 hours now since the disappointing 1-1 draw against City and - ridiculous comments from Bernardo Silva about the turnaround time they had compared to us to prep for the game (hello? We played Atalanta away on the Thursday before we travelled up to Manchester in the corresponding fixture last year [...]
