I have to say, based on what I thought we’d have yesterday evening against a PSV side that must have know the jig is up after the final whistle went on the first leg last week, I didn’t picture that there’d be much in offer on a relatively chilly night in North London yesterday evening. [...]
At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]
Got a busy one today at work, hence the delayed time of penning some thoughts, as I'm dropping some words in between meetings and also on company time. Don't tell anyone - you know I'm good for it. And bloody hell, Arsenal were good for it last night, eh? I think one of the most [...]
After the defeat to West Ham at the weekend I took a bit of time away from social media and blogging. That defeat was the nail in the coffin for any lingering title hopes and I just didn't feel like dipping back into the Arsenal world to lament and stew on what has been a Seasonis [...]
I enjoy writing. I always have. It's kind of my hobby. It's why I work in Marketing - I enjoy writing content and I get to do it (less so these days as I run a team that does most of it) in my job talking about the industry I work in. It's why I [...]
Talk about a variation of emotions from the start, middle and ending of a football match, eh? On about 75 minutes Amanda messaged me and asked whether to bother with doing a post match Same Old Arsenal podcast. It'd been a pretty turgid game, punctuated only with the occasional bright spark from eventual man of [...]
Morning folks. It's matchday again! After a ten day hiatus, The Arsenal are back, the nerves are back, the trepidation remains and the trip to Leicester - whilst ordinarily I'd see it as an opportunity to potentially rack up some goals given their position and form - that is fraught with concern given our attacking [...]
After just a few minutes at St James' Park I had an inkling that this game was going to be very much a case of Deja Vu for us up in the North East. A bouncing ball in the middle of the park wasn't won by Partey, Isaak was found in space in behind and Arsenal [...]
Man, that felt good yesterday, didn’t it? After all of the hand-wringing about our lack of signings this month, after what felt like a very barren beginning of the year with us profligate in front of goal and virtually out of the two domestic cups, Arsenal turned up on a cold London February afternoon and [...]
Arsenal's conclusion to this horrendous Champions League group stage format concluded last night and after the initial concern of how the format would play out when we drew away at Atalanta and then ended up losing to a dodgy penalty away at Inter on match day three, we ended up finishing third in the competition, [...]
