When I woke up yesterday morning I thought to myself: “don’t bother about City; they smash Southampton (who are terrible), it’ll be all on us for tomorrow, the media narrative will be set, just prepare for it”. But as much as you can tell yourself that, as much as you know what will happen, there [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Saturday - match day! - and it is, as Martin Odegaard would put it, the first of our remaining ten 'cup finals' that we must overcome if we want to be champions of this here league. This is where it gets tough. This is where every game is going to [...]
After the three points were confirmed against Fulham last weekend, I gave a little fist pump in the air in my kitchen to myself. That felt like a big win. I immediately started thinking about this weekend. "If we can beat Palace and Leeds, then we'll be in a really good position to go for [...]
Another matchday for our boys and it's Europa League action tonight to take centre stage of our minds. I think the mindset of Arsenal fans I follow online is so fascinating with this one, you know, because there seems to be a big split between whether or not we 'go for it' and play the [...]
Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday.

Morning folks and welcome to match day. Hope we're all good? Inexplicably and completely without any intention, I grabbed the first football shirt that I could find in my wardrobe last night to wear today for work (desk jockey who can work from home, so I pretty much wear what I want when I'm not [...]
Happy Saturday people. And it is that most rarest of things for a football fan: The home Saturday 3pm kick off. Of course it's a joke that they are not televised these days, of course it's based on an archaic rule that should have been binned years ago, but as a match going fan I [...]
Happy match day folks. A midweek match day in the premier League. And what an opportunity we have that sits before us. An opportunity to go five points clear at the top. An opportunity for revenge against a side that beat us just a few short weeks ago. An opportunity for us to start saying [...]
Happy Match day folks! Is it happy though? Do you every REALLY enjoy matchday? As I mentioned on my blog yesterday, I did a stadium tour yesterday, which was pretty awesome because The Management had sorted me out a VIP Legends tour, which meant I was shown around by Lee Dixon and Nigel Mitchell, who [...]
Cards on the table here. I am feeling rather worried about tonight. The opponents we face are formidable and just like whenever we play United at Old Trafford it doesn't seem to matter if we're great - because we lose (last season's game at the Emirates), we match them - because we lose (the FA [...]
