Happy Saturday folks. I don't know what it is that meant that I couldn't sleep first thing this morning, but I find myself up at 6.30am on a Saturday, and I can tell you I do not like that one bit. I think I must have had plenty on my mind because I've got a [...]
Oh Arsenal, you do make me age, quite significantly I can tell you. With just over an hour gone I had come to the grim acceptance that our season was effectively over before March had even begun. We were down 2-1 to Benfica, 3-2 on aggregate, needing another two goals in the game to put [...]
So here we are folks. This will either be the latest in a number of important match days for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team this season, or it will be the last meaningful match day for Arsenal, as we take on Olympiak......sorry....Benfica....in Athens to progress to the next stage of the Europa League and [...]
Ok I'm going to just go ahead and say it this morning: Anyone else have some slight regrets over the departure of Olivier Giroud? After he exited in that January window we signed Aubameyang. I don't think there was a single Arsenal fan who thought we now didn't have an upgraded attack with Aubameyang joining [...]
Today feels like it should be a good day. I've woken up to the sun shining here in London, birds tweeting, as well as a bit more of a clearer indication as to when some normality returns to life again in England. Yesterday the Prime Minister made his statement about when he thinks the country [...]
I'm struggling to properly put my feelings in to proper context this morning, with regards to yesterday's defeat to Man City at home, because I have a mixture of disappointment and acceptance of what we all watched. When I write about Arsenal in a post match review of what went on I tend to view [...]
We had ourselves a video update from the manager yesterday ahead of the home game against Man City on Sunday and, as expected, Mikel Arteta was more than happy to wax lyrical about the team he was coach at just over a year ago. Of course all the way up there in Manchester we also [...]
Before this game began I looked at Benfica, looked at some of the players they had - the likes of Ottamendi and Verthongen as well as Rafa and Everton - and I was bemoaning our bad luck in drawing quite a high profile team in the first knockout round of this competition. This morning I [...]
I didn't watch any Champions League football last night, but I have seen the gifts that Liverpool were so generously offered by RB Leipzig last night, as well as the borderline free handout that the referee tried to leg up on Barcelona in their game against PSG. Honestly, when you see that given as a [...]
Another Thursday rolls around. I swear it is like the weeks are blurring into one right now, doesn't it? I don't want to wish my life away but I'm kind of at the stage of wishing this season would just blur away to nothing, given how it's gone for us, which is mad when you [...]
