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 [...]
Well now, wasn't that a lot more fun last night than we expected, eh? I don't think there are any Arsenal fans that thought that Mikel Arteta and his charges were going to head over to Portugal, absolutely blitz an unbeaten team with a 100% domestic win record this season, with one of the clubs [...]
So we're back in Champions League action this evening and it's the Portuguese champions we are up against in Lisbon tonight, in a game that sees a repeat of the March 2023 Europa League Round of 16 we played in March 2023. That game finished 2-2 and at the time I think most of us [...]
I've woken up this morning to an absolute gale swirling around outside my house, but it was Arsenal who were doing the blowing away yesterday, showing their true colours to absolutely batter Nottingham Forest yesterday afternoon. Pre match talk was of how impressive Forest have been this season; they know their strengths and they play [...]
Couldn't sleep in the early hours of the morning, so decided to get my arse out of bed and do a bit of pre game reading, see what's out there and whatnot. First things first on days like today I usually go to the traditional 'pundits previews'. You know, your Merse's, Sutton's, Jones Knows on [...]
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 [...]
In a clear act of mercy for our current injury plight, the footballing gods (and Spain manager Luis De La Fuente) saw fit to rest both Raya and Merino last night, as Spain beat Switzerland in what sounds like quite a compelling match. I wouldn't know; international football and all that... Tonight the gauntlet is [...]
So here we are folks, in the mire of another international break and whilst some football fans get in to the swing of it, for me as you'll know if you regularly read my thinking's, it does nothing of the sort. All I want from the next few days is a clean bill of health [...]
Yesterday's City defeat has cast today's game in a slightly different light I think. I still believe that if Arsenal lose, we're probably out of the title race, but a draw puts us one point closer to them and although Liverpool will be nine points clear of us, that isn't unsurmountable. Liverpool won against Villa [...]
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 [...]
