In what is becoming a bit of a habit for me at the moment, I thought I'd go an check out the situation on some of the West Ham forums this morning, to get a bit of a vibe check on the opposition fans in the run up to our game against them. Unlike in [...]
Eight goals in around 80 hours between Saturday and Tuesday has a Gooner like me rather excited right now. I seem to have eschewed my normal glass half empty mantra, which has been replaced with a really positive vibe about The Arsenal looking ahead to this weekend's game against West Ham. Of course, the feelings could be [...]
There's no rest for the wicked, as the Arsenal squad - and a fair few fans - make their way to Lisbon today ahead of our Champions League showdown against Sporting. I suspect we'll get an Arteta press conference towards the end of the working day today and we'll get a bit of an update [...]
With Mikel Arteta not due to have his presser ahead of the Forest game until 1.30pm today, I thought I'd go hunting around to find out a little bit about how our opponents have got on his season so far, as well as how their fans are feeling ahead of Nottingham Forest's trip to The [...]
This season has absolutely battered Arsenal with injuries from day one, so perhaps it is no surprise that I've woken up this morning to jot down some thoughts, only to find that Leandro Trossard limped off after 37 minutes in Belgium's 1-0 defeat to Israel in Budapest yesterday.

Mikel Arteta had his say ahead of tomorrow's tough encounter with Chelsea yesterday and, as usual, he was relatively tight-lipped on who was available. He confirmed that Declan Rice hadn't trained as of yesterday and I guess we all have to hope that his admission that he 'has to be vague' is just his way [...]
There's no way to sugar coat it today. There is no way to dress up yesterday abysmal Arsenal performance. There is only the truth that needs to be spoken and sadly what you're going to read for the next 1,000 or so words is that of a disappointed Gooner with very little positivity. Arsenal's defeat [...]
One more day to go until the big showdown against Liverpool and the managers have both had their say. So, what have we learned? From Arteta As usual on the injury front, not a lot really, but I think none of us expected to get any real detail to be honest. On Saka, Timber and [...]
Never have I been so glad of the frequency of games at this time of the season than now. On Sunday I managed to avoid stewing on the result to much, I had a little say on the Bournemouth game yesterday but thankfully, mercifully, we have a home match against Shaktar Donestk to focus on [...]
