It's match day people! And it is the reverse of the opening game of the season, in which we succumbed to an excitable and motivated Brentford side who took advantage of our mixture of injuries and COVID situation in the Arsenal camp, to overcome us 2-0 in their new stadium. I drove past their stadium [...]
Thursday has come around and we are knocking down the door of the weekend once again. Perhaps it's because my work has been so busy, but these weeks appear to be flying by, which is good considering the lack of football we've had to endure. I think I read somewhere that there won't be a [...]
I tell you what, after the shocking January we had on and off the pitch, I was glad to get a bit of respite from The Arsenal in early February. My frustration was palpable in my house on 1st Feb and so having a bit of time away from football - apart from blog every [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another week. But what a weekend from an Arsenal point of view, eh? For the last two months or so we've seen team after team have games in hand over us, been calculating the permutations of those teams around us winning their games in hand, looking at the table and [...]
A second Arsenal-less weekend passes us by and I think that whilst many of us were feeling a little relief at a bit of time away from The Arsenal after the frustrating draw followed by what felt like an even more frustrating transfer deadline day, this week represents opportunity, with our first game in over [...]
Last night Middlesbrough dumped United out of the cup. I’d completely forgotten that this weekend was FA Cup weekend! It’s been erased from my memory after our Forest debacle, but at least there was some Arsenal connection, as Balogun played 60 minutes for Boro and by the sounds of it performed quite admirably. I didn’t [...]
Arsenal look like they’re playing the most Harry Redknapp “well, I’m daan to th’ bare bones ‘ere lads” approach to squad composition I think I’ve ever seen in my life! Yep, yesterday another one bit the Arsenal dust, as Calum Chambers signed for Aston Villa almost completely out of the blue. It took pretty much [...]
This time of the transfer window is always where the irritation from football fans reaches its zenith. That's because we're not close enough to the window closing shut to really know exactly where we might stand, but we're also not far enough away from the window that people are saying "we've got time". So we [...]
The frustration I am still feeling after yesterday's 0-0 draw at home to Burnley is still coursing through my veins. It makes me clench my fists harder because yesterday felt like a game we just had to - by some way or another - get a scrappy win and then we could reset. But Burnley [...]
It's Burnley, it's at home, they've had plenty of rest and we've had both the physical and mental hit that the game against Liverpool did to us on Thursday last week. But Arsenal cannot feel sorry for itself today, we simply cannot afford it, if we want this season to be one in which we [...]
