I didn’t blog yesterday about the Champions League. I figured that yesterday was a day of celebration, and I didn’t really want it sullied by talking about the performance, the highs and lows, etc, etc. There will be another time for that, I’m sure, so today I want to focus on the parade yesterday. I […]
It’s the big one today, folks. The Champions League Final. Arsenal play PSG, the side that vanquished us in the semi-final last season over two legs. It’s the ‘game of your lifetime’. Last season I actually went into the semi-final in a pretty confident mood. We’d beaten PSG pretty well at home, we’d already managed […]
This midweek has felt like a weird one. There haven’t been a ton of things to say, in all honesty; we’ve all been basking in the reflective glow of the Premier League title win, whilst also feeling a little weird that we have an arguably bigger prize in just two days’ time. But as the […]
After a big win, I usually say things like “let the basking continue” or thereabouts. If we beat a Chelsea, or a Liverpool, City, etc – you feel like you can bathe in the radiant glow of victory. Even though they have been a tragic side this season, beating the Scum in the North London […]
Happy Sunday to you and yours and everyone who is celebrating this most special of days: Coronation Day. Today, those Arsenal players will take to the pitch for the last time this season in the Premier League; by the time the final whistle goes, they will be lifting the Premier League title. The name has […]
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 […]
