Last night some friends we were due to have over for a slap up Christmas meal before we are all off to see our families, unfortunately got a positive test result on their lateral flow tests, which means we've had to cancel a weekend of fun and frivolity at our place. I mention this in [...]
Well now, isn't that more like it, eh? The Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde football side turned up once again and we saw what a difference it makes for Arsenal if we are at home compared to away. With the home fans roaring the team on we got our first game of the season that [...]
It's match day and whilst the focus should be on who are the best and fittest players available to be selected today to try to get us back on track and winning at home to Southampton, unfortunately we are once again dealing with some problems in the Arsenal camp, or at least what looks like [...]
Tottenahm, West Ham and Man United all won this weekend, which brings in to focus exactly what is needed from Mikel Arteta's side tonight as we face an Everton team who have had some injuries, some poor run of form, but haven't lost at home to us in four years. Last season we lost 2-1 [...]
This morning I've woken up and the first thought popping in to my head is: "What are we going to do about Thomas Partey, eh?" I wonder if Arteta is thinking the same? Maybe, but maybe not, because perhaps he has more information about the Ghanaian that we do not have? Perhaps he is privy [...]

The big decisions Arteta needed to make yesterday surrounded what to do with some of the youngsters who had perhaps looked a little out of their depth at times last weekend at Liverpool and before a ball had even been kicked I saw plenty of people split over what to do with the starting line [...]
So it appears that Granit Xhaka's injury also included a bone break as well, which is the reason he's been out a little longer than we originally feared when he went down injured. Obviously that's also the reason why - despite the fact he's been seen in training and is doing ball work already - [...]
Friday's are always better when you have some good news to brighten your day, or when you have something exciting going on at the weekend, eh? For me it's a bit of both, actually, as I'm off in to London for a 40th birthday party tomorrow evening which will be fun. But most important of [...]
Last night I had a weird ol' dream. I was back in my old season ticket seat at Highbury in the North Bank and time had rewound and the team were now allowed to play back in the old stadium again. Which is weird because a) that would take some serious engineering work needed, not [...]
