I'd be telling you a big fat festive Christmas fib if I didn't admit to being anything other than nervous about today's game at Villa Park. I've been reading a few bits online, I've been taking in some Arsenal podcasts, plus reading a few Villa blogs too. They are cautiously optimistic. They know that it [...]
Morning folks - hope we're all good and in the festive Christmas spirit? Not least because at this time of the year the games come thick and fast and whilst there is obviously plenty of juggling that Arteta and his coaching staff need to contend with in the busy festive period, for us fans it's [...]
Another Saturday 3pm match day: I could get used to this. It's Burnley at home at The Emirates today and this is one in which we want to send the international boys off to their respective countries with a swing in their step and another three points on the board. In year's gone by the [...]
I think tonight might be a little trickier than some people might think. Going away to Sevilla and getting the result was good, but for some it might add a false sense of security on the outcome of tonight's match, particularly given our injury problems as it stands. No Timber, no Partey, no Smith Rowe, [...]
Happy match day gooners! You nervous about this one? I know I am. This is going to be tough going this evening, I reckon, because it's a tough place to go, it'll be a cold wet one up north (not even remotely an excuse though), we have injuries and we've just come off of the [...]
Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]
It's matchday, it's a 3pm kick off, it's a home game. It's the most purest of English football things. All we need now is a win against Sheffield United, who sit routed to the bottom of the Premier League and despite the bad news given to us from Arteta yesterday, this is a game we [...]
We're back to another match day people, and it's Champions League match day numero tres for the Arsenal squad, who travelled to Seville yesterday afternoon ahead of tonight's game against Sevilla FC. I gotta tell ya, I have absolutely no idea what we're going to get this evening. Usually I have a feeling one way [...]
Morning Gooners - happy matchday! We're back! FINALLY! And it's a tough one to get us back in to the swing of things, as I think this Chelsea team will be bang up for an upset this evening. Their season started off with a respectable draw against Liverpool at home and I watched that game. [...]
One of my little pre match rituals that I go through before every game we play is to try to gauge a flavour of the lay of the land from a pundit perspective. I know they are often just doing it to get clicks, there is usually not a lot of thoughtful analysis that goes [...]
