As I went for my run this morning I was listening to my usual podcasts on all things The Arsenal (I usually get through two to three a week, mostly four or five depending on how much time I get to run with work in the way) and I was listening to one of them [...]
Last season I wrote about Arteta's archetypal 'perfect' game being against Brighton; it was complete dominance against a team who wanted to have possession of the football, wanted to control the narrative of the game on the ball and Arsenal allowed Brighton to create basically nothing. We got two goals, albeit slightly later than Arteta [...]
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 [...]
Decided to put the United v the Scum game on last night as I was cooking a roast dinner. Kind of wish I hadn't bothered, because it was ruined by a red card that effectively stopped it being too much of a ding dong game. At first I thought Fernandez was a bit reckless with [...]
At 3-1 the Bolton fans were chuckling to themselves with a rendition of "Johnny, Johnny Stones" to the tune of "Daddy Cool" by Boney M. At 5-1, they were singing in the rain. It's good to know that the dying embers of hostility still exist for them. For us it was an opportunity to show [...]
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) [...]
If you'd have offered me a Desmond 2-2 in the morning yesterday when I was writing my pre match thoughts, I'd have bitten your hands off. If you'd have told me that Arsenal would get back in the game after the first 10 - 15 minutes of yesterday's game at the soulless Etihad I'd have [...]
It's the big one today. Man City away and do you know what? I'm actually not that nervous. I know that sounds weird, maybe it'll change throughout the course of today, but I kind of feel fine about whatever happens today. I suspect it's because I'm managing my own expectations; I think we might come-a-cropper [...]
That was a tough ol' watch yesterday, eh? Arsenal went to Bergamo, they played a tricky opponent with a very specific approach that is ingrained in their system; they play high-intensity, man-for-man (something Mikel reflected on afterwards in the post-match presser), looking to nullify us by winning those individual duals and hoping that we didn't [...]
Morning Gooners, hope we're all pumped for the start of our Champions League campaign, eh? Tonight should be an interesting one because we've had one English team nab three points in Italy in the shape of Liverpool at Milan on Tuesday, one Italian team nab a point at the Emptihad against 115 Charges FC last [...]
