Tis' an odd feeling indeed to view an FA Cup defeat with so little despair, but as I write this morning I feel oddly fine about the fact that we went out by an odd goal to Manchester City at the Etihad last night. What is also odd, however, is that looking at my Twitter [...]
Matchday it is and I have to tell you, rather than the usual trepidation I feel ahead of a massive game, I am more excited for this one. Honestly, I really am! I think it is because - as I've said all week - this is priority number three on our list and regardless of [...]
Morning morning Gooners, hope you’re all feeling fan-dabby-dozy on this here Thursday morn? Todays blog is coming to you from inside a BA aircraft, as we take a wee short trip up to Northumberland for The Management’s family birthday dinner on Saturday night. Annoyingly, it means that I can’t make my way up to the [...]
Morning gooners, how we all doing today then, eh? Counting down until Friday's showdown with City? Can I let you in on a little secret? I'm actually not that worried about this game on Friday at the Etihad. That is not out of some misplaced arrogance that we're going to get a result, but rather [...]
Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you and yours. If you're a regular reader of these ramblings then you'll know that I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to The Arsenal. That's why this season I've very much tried to keep my feet on the ground when it comes to [...]

There is of course World Cup news we could talk through today, but why on earth would we do that when there is just a few glorious crumbs of Arsenal news we can focus on first, eh? I feel a sense of elation, like a man searching for an oasis in the desert, that comes to a [...]
Morning folks. Hope you’re all good? Did you watch the Champions League final last night? I didn’t. Last thing I wanted to see was a massive build up about how super amazing Liverpool are and how they’re the greatest side to have ever walked the planet. And yet having suffered defeat yesterday, their season has [...]
For the second time in four years Arsenal travelled to the City Ground to play Championship Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup and for the second time in four years Arsenal's FA Cup run was halted as quickly as it began in ignominious fashion as we were knocked out to a [...]
Morning folks and welcome to matchday. It is one of my most favourite match days of the year actually; FA Cup third round day. A chance to travel to a ground that you don't often go to and for me I haven't been to the City Ground, so a new one to tick off the [...]
