Spent the weekend at an AirBnB which had it's own sauna, cinema room, jacuzzi and pool this weekend, so when I woke up yesterday having watched the game on m iPad, I couldn't really be arsed to pen any thoughts. Why ruin a perfect Sunday ahead by re-living the memory, eh? A new week also [...]

It's another home match day today and it's the visit of the Saints and Aaron Ramsdale to The Emirates at three o'clock this afternoon, as we aim to continue our form going in to the international break. Yesterday I took a look at our opponents and the type of game we're likely to face, their [...]

Mikel Arteta will take to the stage today at London Colney for his pre match presser at some stage this Friday and ahead of that I thought I'd take a look at who we're up against tomorrow, in the shape of a newly promoted Southampton side, with a very familiar face about them in between [...]

Here we go again folks - match day! This is a big one because it's PSG at home and I think I'm right in saying it is the first time we've faced PSG since they became one of the financially doped football clubs backed by an Arab state. We welcome them tonight for an 8pm [...]

Arsenal’s ‘dark arts’ talk is a media concoction to sell a product

Morning folks, how we all doing? First things first, congrats to the Arsenal Women who yesterday overcame their first-leg 1-0 defeat to Hacken to win 4-0 and secure Champions League football this season. No more painful memories of last season and Eidevall also referenced that the squad has been built for Champions League football, so [...]

A smattering of first teamers today, but who plays in goal?

Morning folks - here we are at another match day and this time we kick off our League Cup campaign - a home tie against Bolton Wanderers and, I think the key question all of us want answered for this evening's game is: How many first team players are going to be rested tonight? Because [...]

Arteta needs to think carefully about who is risked tomorrow evening

Morning folks, how we all doing this Tuesday? A lot better than 115 Charges FC, it appears, as they now have the utterly scandalous situation of playing Watford this evening at home, just 48 hours after playing us (which they were at home) on Sunday, as well as having played Inter (which was at home) [...]

Pep and Arteta have their say on each other and the fixture schedule

Happy Saturday peeps. How we all doing? I drank a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to myself last night, whilst making and then consuming a chilli con carne, listening and watching the two respective managers talk about the game on Sunday. Firstly, Sky Sports were all over Pep, featuring him again and again and some of [...]

Kicking of the Champions League thoughts

Tomorrow it's Atalanta in the new phase of the Champions League and for some reason unbeknownst to myself, I decided to watch Villa away to Young Boys and then Liverpool away to Milan. Well, the first half of that one, anyway. I say 'unbeknownst' mainly because watching other teams in the Champions League isn't really [...]

Whilst basking in a North London Derby victory is plenty of fun and I intend on doing it a bit more today, there's no rest for the wicked this week, with Atalanta on Thursday and so probably Mikel and the team leaving for Italy either later today or first thing tomorrow. I wonder if they [...]
