Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good? It's my last working day today and also my last in the UK for the next three weeks, as I jet off to South Africa for the holidays, so it was fun to learn that the Scum almost blew a three-goal lead in the League Cup last [...]
On yesterday afternoon's Same Old Arsenal podcast James gave me a sobering stat that he'd read: No team has ever won a Premier League whilst being more than six points behind at this stage of the season. I read that again this morning - United in 2002/3, City in 2013/14, the City in 2020/21 were [...]
There's no way to sugar coat it today. There is no way to dress up yesterday abysmal Arsenal performance. There is only the truth that needs to be spoken and sadly what you're going to read for the next 1,000 or so words is that of a disappointed Gooner with very little positivity. Arsenal's defeat [...]
Really tough one today, this. Tough because the margin for error basically feels zero. Tough because it's away from home. Tough because of memories of injustice that linger from last season. Tough because Newcastle are a good team and, as I said yesterday, better than their league table position suggests. And tough because Jarred Gillett [...]
In the absence (at the time of writing) of any real team updates or press conferences from either of the two managers involved in our game tomorrow, I thought I'd do my bit of weekly snooping to see what the vibe is amongst the Geordies, ahead of our game against them tomorrow lunchtime. Sometimes it's [...]
As we approach the first of four away games in a row, Arteta will have his thinking cap on today on who and how to deploy his resources for the next two weeks because, without sounding overly dramatic, I think this next couple of week's will shape our season. Tomorrow night maybe less so, although [...]
This might end up being a short one today, mainly on account of there being little to chew over from an Arsenal perspective, other than spurious rumours. I saw talk yesterday that Arsenal won't be accepting anything other than £50million from Aaron Ramsdale. Good. Whether or not we get that remains to be seen, but [...]
This morning before I headed in to the office I did my usual run to get my day started and I listened to another podcast that is on my regular rotation, from the lads over at The Arsenal Opinion podcast and they got in to a discussion that I've been thinking about myself over the [...]
Happy Monday Gooners, how we all doing? As much as the Liverpool/Klopp Farewell tour is a little cringe, the upside of yesterday's League Cup victory for them over Chelsea is at least that the 'Billion Pound Bottle Jobs' as Gary Neville put it, haven't won a trophy and therefore the blue side of West London [...]
That was a lot of fun yesterday, wasn’t it? We wanted revenge, we came for revenge, we got revenge. There was no ‘desgracia’ yesterday at The Emirates, because an excellent Arsenal team dispatched a shaky Newcastle team, leaving the home fans once again in dreamland as chants of “who put the ball in the Geordie’s [...]
