Might be a bit of a short one today as I need to head off to London to do a spot of shopping and meet a few friends for lunch and I'm running a little late, but I wanted to pen some pre-United match thoughts on here before I toddle off. Firstly, having watched some [...]

Is overcoming the scars of Old Trafford easier for Arsenal players than fans?

Howdy friends, how are we all doing? Looking forward to the game tomorrow? Not me, I have to say, because I've thoroughly enjoyed the bliss of five consecutive victories and the thought that it might come crashing down against United - like it always seems to when we go up there - makes me a [...]

Transfer deadline day for Arsenal: You can be happy and concerned at the same time

It came, it went, without a major incoming and now we know what we have for the next - roughly - three months until the transfer window re-opens on 1st January. I say 'roughly because we've got the whole of September, the whole of October, then the first 12 days of November and then the [...]

Arsenal dominate showing swagger – 2-1 was flattering for Villa

Five out of five for our boys and whilst the 'Yeah but it's only...' brigade may point to an out of sorts Aston Villa side, there are a few facts and figures that is being ignored by those that don't have an emotional investment in The Arsenal. For example, I read a stat this morning [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Match Day! It's the most wonderful time, of the week... But also it can be the most nail biting time of the week and what with us already losing some players to injury, the Arsenal  fanbase is going full Calculus to try to work out how we are going to [...]

Don’t sweat transfer deadline day, Arsenal fans – we got this

Morning folks and welcome to both a match day countdown, as well as a transfer window countdown, which promises to be quite a busy one in the Premier League, by the sounds of it. One player who won't be arriving in at The Arsenal is Lucas Paqueta, who yesterday signed for West Ham, so that's [...]

The Celebration Police and Arsenal

I can see that Richard Keys was doubling down on his Celebration Police narrative after the Wolves v Newcastle game. Yesterday I saw that he’d made comments about the players and the manager celebrating a 2-1 victory like it was a trophy they had secured. He was bleating on about the fact that it’s ‘only [...]

Arsenal and Gabriel showing their resilience against Fulham

Howdy all and hope you’re in a fine mood on this fabulous Sunday? I’m not going to mug you off here; I’m not going tell you that yesterday was the most rosiest of days for me as an Arsenal but, then again, I know you too feel the same - that was bloody uncomfortable at [...]

Start fast Arsenal, Fulham are no mugs

Starting today’s blog the night before, as I’ve got an early start tomorrow/today because of a cousin who decided a 7am tee time was an acceptable approach to a round of golf on a Saturday morning. He’s a Spurs fan too, which probably explains it: they are all completely mentally unhinged. Anyway, as I say, [...]

Liverpool’s perceived vulnerability and Arsenal’s Neto pursuit

Well now, I just wasn't expecting to tune in for the end of the United v Liverpool game to see that Man United can actually play with aggression and pride. I thought those values had been stuffed away in an old locker somewhere in the ground, never to return. Yet I tuned in with about [...]
