And so the Champions League run for The Arsenal comes to an end. Not with a bang, but sadly with a bit of a whimper, as Bayern saw out a tense affair in Munich by beating us 1-0 with that second half headed goal by Kimmich. It was a momentary lapse of concentration from our [...]
It's the big one today and potentially a season-defining one, although I really wish that it wasn't, because I do worry what might happen if we go out tonight. That's a very real possibility, because: We do not have an amazing pedigree in Europe. We have a pretty pants record against Bayern. We've just come [...]
I know it's a bit of a provocative title, but sometimes needs must, boys and girls, because it just feels like where I'm at right now. It's now two days since we lost to Villa and that sobering and numbing feeling from that defeat is still gnawing away me. This wasn't where we were supposed [...]
Yesterday was not a fun day. Yesterday a big chunk of hope that we might end the wait for a league title crumbled away. Yes, we are just two points off Man City and yes, there are a few games left still to play, but we aren't up against any other team. We all know [...]
Happy Saturday and welcome to the weekend folks. Hope life is treating you all well. We had Arteta's presser yesterday and he seemed pretty fine and his usual self when talking about the team and player availability for Sunday, which is good. Gabriel apparent missed training since the Bayern game but Arteta didn't seem to [...]
I went for my afternoon run first thing this morning, which has its benefits because rather than speculate on what Arteta has to say in his press conference today, it's happening literally as I type out today's ramblings. So I have a bity of a real time reaction opportunity this Friday morn, which is novel. [...]
It’s the big one today and, as I suspected but didn’t say, the butterflies and nerves for this game against City later on are starting to kick in. Arsenal travel to Manchester trying to do something we haven’t managed to do in nine previous attempts in all competitions. You have to go back eight years [...]
I never normally watch the opposition match press conference, but given the build up to this massive game tomorrow and given how significant it could impact both City and Arsenal's season, I thought I'd have a little sneak peak at pep's comments in his presser. Obviously I was also intrigued on how he delivered news [...]
So last night we found out all about who our opponents could potentially be, as the last of the Champions League round of 16 games were played and it was Atleti and Dortmund who advanced to the quarter finals, which means we'll get one of: Atlético de Madrid Barcelona Bayern München Borussia Dortmund Manchester City [...]
I make Arteta right when he was in front of the press last week talking about tonight's game at Brammall Lane against Sheffield United: this will not be easy. I've seen a few Gooners online talking about the need to pick up plenty of goals and continue our good scoring form, but we're into March [...]
