That felt like a BIG win yesterday, I have to tell you guys, because at 60-odd minutes I was pacing up and down of the house I'm staying in, in the Algarve, wondering how we were going to get anything from a game that I thought Villa were starting to get a little more control [...]
Happy match day folks - how we all feeling? There's obviously some transfer stuff going on with Fabio Vieira back to Porto on loan, as well as Mikel Merino spotted on his way to London, but on match day there really is only ever one focus and that's how we're going to come back from [...]
Sometimes - but very rarely - I write the title of the blog before I've even jotted a word down on the page to compile my daily thoughts. Today is one of those days for sure. Bukayo Saka showed why he is England's best player last night. Bukayo Saka showed why Gareth Southgate appeasing Phil [...]
Yesterday was not a fun day. Yesterday a big chunk of hope that we might end the wait for a league title crumbled away. Yes, we are just two points off Man City and yes, there are a few games left still to play, but we aren't up against any other team. We all know [...]
Morning folks and happy match day to you and yours. Let's hope it's an enjoyable one for all Gooners all over the world. But this match is far from a foregone conclusion. Aston Villa represent a very tough opponent and I have to say, whilst for the last couple of days I'vevbeen feeling good about [...]
I'd be telling you a big fat festive Christmas fib if I didn't admit to being anything other than nervous about today's game at Villa Park. I've been reading a few bits online, I've been taking in some Arsenal podcasts, plus reading a few Villa blogs too. They are cautiously optimistic. They know that it [...]
Morning folks, welcome to Tuesday and whilst it's not exactly Arsenal related, it appears as though Aston Villa are getting a little bit of an Arsenal connection as their next manager, as Unai Emery has been confirmed as their new appointment from Villareal. It's an interesting appointment and not one I would have expected and [...]
Morning Gooners - y'all alreet? I didn't watch the Champions League Semi Final between Liverpool and Emery's Villareal, but it seems as though even Mr European Cup Competition himself - Unai Emery - could overcome this Liverpool team, who are juggernaughting their way to trophies at the moment, it seems. They better bloody do the [...]
I find it very difficult to watch the Champions League these days. The frustrations of seeing other teams progress when we haven't had a stab at it in so long is annoying and the fact that over the last 10 days or so we have - what feels to me like - probably lost our [...]
I won't dwell on the double standards that got dealt by the Premier League on match postponements yesterday. We know that what happened at the start of the season is now wrong, they know it was wrong, we move on. The hope is just that the Scum's fixture congestion really piles up on them next [...]
