It’s so weird to think that until yesterday, we hadn’t heard a peep from Mikel Arteta. The man who has spent the most time of anybody associated with the ‘process’ under the greatest scrutiny hadn’t been seen or heard of (that I can see) until yesterday’s press conference and media day ahead of the Champions […]
We’ve done it. They’ve done it. Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal team/staff have delivered. They asked us to ‘Trust the process.” Now they can rightfully say, “this is why”. I didn’t watch the game last night. I am an irrational football fan, and I believe in football karma. I believe I have some kind of […]
It’s match day, people, and the nerves have, once again, properly kicked in. Arsenal have it all within their own power to win a Premier League title. Just two wins. Just two wins. Sounds simple, right? Well, yes, the logic of it is. Arsenal start the first half of this two-part challenge tonight against Burnley, […]
With our game not until Monday, it feels like this weekend might be a bit of a long one, from a footballing perspective. Firstly, we’ll have to watch City win their second trophy of the season, when they batter an absolutely turgid Chelsea side at Wembley today. Well, I say “we’ll have to watch”, but […]
None of us expected anything from last night, I don’t think, so I’ll be surprised if most Gooners watched City’s procession game against Palace. The hope I’m taking from the overall result is two-fold: Palace players ALREADY having an eye on their Europa Conference League Final after the Premier League has finished. I saw a […]
This very much feels like the home straight now, doesn’t it? It’s as if we’ve been dodging and weaving, fence-jumping, avoiding other horses, have our noses in front, with a clear patch of grass and the finish line in sight. But as Amanda and I reflected on yesterday in the Same Old Arsenal pod yesterday […]
I watched the Man City game yesterday until Haaland scored their second goal, before switching off, so I’ve seen Bernardo Silva punching Brentford defender Collins. I missed the DOGSO with Nunes on Schade, but I’m not surprised – PGMOL have consistently shown that some teams get more of the rub of the green than others. […]
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 […]
