It’s Friday, it’s the start of the weekend (nearly), and it’s West Ham on Sunday, knowing that by the time we kick off, we’ll know if Brentford have gotten anything from Man City for the 5.30 pm kick off (they won’t). So, what of West Ham then, eh? Well, there are plenty of Arsenal fans […]
There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone’s life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation – loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the […]
We certainly saw some ‘end of season’ performances yesterday, eh? With Unai Emery going ‘Full Unai’ with his team ahead of their home game against Forest on Thursday, Villa put in the kind of performance you expect from an end-of-season team that really are mentally on the beach. That was frustrating from an Arsenal fan […]
As is our situation right now, you, like I, no doubt, have a very nervous feeling in the stomach. We’ve been living this way for months, truth be told, so whilst this feeling of dread ahead of every Arsenal game is not new, it doesn’t get any easier. I read comments like “Fulham have never […]
I don’t really feel I can start anywhere else today other than the third – and what should have been the final penalty call on the night – was given/not given. I don’t understand. I am really glad that Mikel Arteta said he was infuriated with the decision, because what I saw last was a […]
It seems there’s a bit of a fixture argument going on with Man City. Well, not so much an argument, but rather a ‘discussion’, if the reports are to be believed, for which City wants to play Bournemouth in their rearranged fixture slot before Palace. I didn’t really understand the significance of that until I […]
I would be lying if I said to you that I enjoyed that game yesterday. In fact, I don’t think there is a Gooner on this planet who would have felt that satisfying. And yet, earlier in the season, when we beat Palace 1-0 with Eze scoring the winner in a tightly contested game, my […]
I need to obviously talk about this massive game against Sporting Lisbon tonight at The Emirates, but before I do that, I just need to tell you about a dream I had last night. We had to play Jack Wilshere’s Luton Town in the Premier League, which was a prize they won for winning the […]
I’ve sort of talked about it, we’ve all been thinking about it, and this game has been living ‘rent-free’ in my head for some time now. Certainly, since last weekend. But now, we have to really focus on it. So I suppose I have to start properly talking about it. Today the managers will give […]
I haven’t slept well at all this week. Some of it, admittedly, is related to stuff happening at my work, but more of it is related to what happens this afternoon. This could be the biggest game for Arsenal football club in over two decades. In 2022/23, we had to go to the City and […]
