So the good news from the press conference yesterday appears to be that despite coming off injured in midweek against Bayern, Leo appears to be fit, as confirmed by Mikel when doing his pre-Chelsea chat to the assembled media. That's a relief. Considering just how impressive he's been for us this season, losing him at [...]
It's Friday, it's a couple of days before we go to Chelsea and it's a trip into the Chelsea fans forums for me to see how they are feeling. It's certainly a mixed bag, with as much of them saying they can't see themselves losing, as well as the reverse. I think this season has [...]
Maybe I went too early this week with my statement about ‘statement win’? Nah. I’m happy with what I said. Like I’m happy with what this Arsenal team are doing right now and if you’re somebody who questioned the idea of Tottenham being a statement win given how shocking they were, I bet you’re not [...]
This is a very weird feeling today - about tonight's game I mean. That's because never have I felt more 'ahh it'll be fine' about a game against Bayern Munich than I feel this evening. That's probably why I could never be an elite athlete, to be fair, because aside from the clear and obvious [...]
What should we talk about today folks? More of the North London Derby, you say? Oh well, go on then, seeing as you asked so nicely... I want to start with a convo we had on the Same Old Arsenal pod last night as we were re-living the loveliness of Sunday's Hammering of Them. Well, actually, [...]
Well now, isn't today the most glorious of days, eh? It's 8am, the sun is rising on a crisp November morn and Arsenal are, once again, kings of North London. A dominating North London Derby that saw open play goals, a six point lead at the top opened up, plus a performance from one of [...]
Here we are folks. North London Derby day. One of the worst fixtures of the year and this season, weirdly, NOT worse than playing at their gaff. Which is so weird. I'm used to waking up and just feeling like it's going to be the worst fixture when we play at the Toilet Bowl. I [...]
Having spent the whole week lamenting the massive injury crisis that surrounds the North London Derby this weekend, both Arsenal fans and them got a bit more of an inkling as to how actually it's not all as bad as it seemed over the international break. If you look at the Premier League injury table during the [...]
Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Let's start with some positive news, which is that yesterday afternoon Big Vik took to his Instagram to get pictures of himself in training. Given how Arsenal spend so much time trying not to give anything away by clearly selecting pictures they know won't include any players [...]
Firstly, a tip of the cap to the Arsenal Women, who beat Real Madrid again in 2025 in the Champions League. Nice work ladies! Always good to see. As for the men, well, they'll all be back now and the countdown is well and truly on to the North London Derby on Sunday. This is [...]
