Having been in the Cotswolds with friends enjoying some relaxation, booze and nice food, I managed to avoid the post match frustration from Saturday until yesterday evening. James and I did the Same Old Arsenal post match pod chat and, if I'm honest, on this occasion it didn't feel like as much catharsis as it [...]
Morning all, hope we're all ok on this Thursday in August? It was good getting the business done earlier, eh? I remember too many times getting to the last week of the window thinking "nope, we're still too short, they HACE to do something soon". Of course quite often it would be leaving it until [...]
On last night's Same Old Arsenal podcast we had a fair bit of time dedicated to the refereeing from Monday night and, of course, most people in the chatroom and ourselves shared a level of frustration with the way some of the decisions played out. I'm not going to pick at a wound that will [...]
You know football is back when you look at the heart rate monitor and see that because of your elevated beats per minute, you've been fat burning on a Monday night from about 9pm onwards, despite sitting on your sofa. Specifically, you know you're an Arsenal fan who knows that football is back because as [...]
Happy Wednesday Gooners. The sun looks like it might make an appearance here in London, which ideally i'd wish it'd save itself for the weekend so i can be in the Emirates with the big ball of fire smiling back at me, but you can't have everything in life I guess. And clearly that's the [...]
The Ornbomb has landed and Romano has regaled us, so it seems this saga will soon reach it's conclusion. But at this point I'm not really sure what else there is to say, other than I'm glad it's happening and hopefully we are going to be able to swiftly move on so we can focus [...]
Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]
It would have had to have been a very cold day in hell for me to have watched Man City smash Real Madrid last night. The fact they did gave me about 1% feeling of "well, they've just tonked the European Champions, so perhaps the inevitable was going to happen for us. In my attempt [...]
Well, that’s that then, title done and the little hope we had of maybe ending our 19 year wait for a title has evaporated right in front of my very eyes at the Emirates on an utterly atrocious night - from a defensive point of view - for The Arsenal. Southampton had scored 24 goals [...]
Morning folks. Yesterday I put a tweet out about how I'd almost forgotten how rubbish Monday's are after a disappointing performance from Arsenal. We've been that good all season that out of the 28 or 29 match weeks (I know we are on game 31 but there have been midweek Premier League matches so sometimes [...]
