Sometimes I write the headlines before I own a single thought on here. But coming out of the ground last night with Arsenal all but secured an automatic spot in the last 16 of the Champions League, that’s exactly what I felt, because we were never really troubled at all against a Zagreb team who [...]
Morning folks and welcome to match day Wednesday. We've got the last of our five home games today and it's the final home game of this infernal Champions League Group stage, for which we welcome Croatian side Dynamo Zagreb to The Emirates. Standing on 13 points so far, it's an opportunity for us to put [...]
That Fylham game still rankles me, you know, because it feels like even if we'd have sneaked by with a 2-1 and that goal at the end of the game that was chalked off for VAR would have stood, we'd be in a pretty decent position right now. We'd be on a winning streak in [...]
That, eventually, was a jolly nice evening in the end. Don’t get me wrong, we had some perceived wobbles at times and particularly in the first half of yesterday’s ‘scoreline’ hammering of Monaco, we looked like that might be one of those “we’re going to regret missing our chances aren’t we?” kind of games. But [...]
Went with the brother and Nephew yesterday to the London Stadium to see West Ham play Wolves. The wee man has only ever been once before and so despite the lack of quality on display at The London Stadium (as well as a ball ache of a place to get out of and home), it's [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I'm reluctant to kick off today's musings with a commentary that starts to make it's way down the winding conspiracy theory road, but given I've seen a bit of chatter online about Michael Oliver's decision to disallow a goal against City Group-owned Girona FC on Tuesday, then it has emerged he's refereeing us again on [...]
