It's match day, it's the league Cup Semi final, it's Chelsea at the Emirates. It is not exactly a 'must win', but certainly you want this Arsenal team to go out there tonight and deliver the kind of performance that sends messages to the rest of the world that we are ready to take the [...]
Well now. Wasn't yesterday's football a nice little bonus on a weekend in which we were comprehensive in our job, whilst others were anything but, eh? I watched the first part of the Villa v Brentford game before heading off for some dinner, so I didn't see Villa stumble in the second half, then when [...]
Being on a bit of a tour of Sri Lanka this week has definitely had its benefits and drawbacks when it comes to The Arsenal. I was able to use the convenient excuse of having to get up for various sightseeing exercises, so I didn’t have to deal with the aftermath of the United game [...]
Match day folks! And it's time to put everything to one side - the worry of a resurgent United, the fear of a blip after City's win against Wolves, the concern over two goalless draws in the Premier League previously - and get the job done this afternoon. Arsenal go into this one with a [...]
Howdy folks, from an overcast Sri Lanka in which I’m operating on about two hours sleep, so please bear with me if my usual Arsenal-related rambling is a little more incoherent than usual. We heard from Mikel Arteta yesterday and I guess the first thing to be happy about is that Hincapie and Calafiori are [...]
I've been up since some ungodly hour this morning, as the Management and I head off for some winter sun for a couple of weeks, which is great. The missing of The Emirates and at least three home games is a bit of a bummer, but First-World Problems n'that, so I won't look for any sympathy. [...]
Morning campers. Hope we're all good? I was going to start looking ahead to the United game on Sunday, but given Ethan Nwaneri has essentially signed for Marseille on loan for the rest of this season, I figured we need to say something about that. It appears Big Bill Saliba has had his say before departing [...]
Three goals, three points, an away win to the team currently first in Serie A, doing it with a rotated team, players in attack finding form. What’s not to like about yesterday’s 3-1 win at the San Siro? Before a ball was kicked, yesterday morning and afternoon, I was excited for this game. The reason [...]
I know the Champions League is an important competition for us. I know that we want to finish in the top two. And I know that a win, or even a draw tonight, will essentially seal that. But please, for the love of all that is holy, Mikel, please rotate the key players out for [...]
I've already spoken about that gnawing frustration I felt after Saturday evening's disappointing 0-0 draw to Forest. I know I am not alone. Even Declan Rice had been snapped mouthing expletives at the final whistle, which I think we can all understand, because that's what a lot of us were feeling at the time. City slip [...]
