If you are somebody who reads my ramblings regularly, you’ll have noticed that I have been quite conspicuous by my absence. If there is anybody out there who finds what I have to say on football moderately interesting, firstly, you’re a mentalist 😉 But secondly, apologies if you’d been wondering if I fell into a […]
Let’s start today with a bit of sad news, which is that Ben White now misses the rest of the season through injury, as a result of the clash he had with Summerville on Sunday. The club confirmed yesterday that he had sustained a ‘significant medial ligament‘ injury in his knee, which would rule him […]
I wonder why Mikel Arteta decided that he wanted to do the press conference yesterday? The cynic in me says that, as we reach the pinnacle of the drama on this season, he wants to double down on his usual approach of leaving injury problems even more open in the air, by adding day before […]
I don’t think any of us, deep down, thought that yesterday’s victory over Burnley would be the absolute drubbing that we wanted. Sure, Burnley are crap, sure, they’re relegated and have little to play for, but this Arsenal team seems to be masters of making life difficult. And so it proved yesterday. And yet, in […]
Yesterday was about joy. It was about the feeling. What it meant after so long. We did a ‘vibes’ pod on the Same Old Arsenal after work that leaned into that. I got some literal ‘receipts’ from my drawers to illustrate a point about all of those rival fans and pundits that called us bottlers […]
Yesterday afternoon/evening, there was a flurry of articles that were released interviewing Josh Kroenke, as the co-chairman of Arsenal, to discuss the journey that the club has been on since he and his father became majority stakeholders at The Arsenal. I myself read the Telegraph one by Sam Dean (my dad has an account so […]
The news that Christian Eriksen collapsed yesterday playing for Denmark really should hit home that when people say “it’s only a game”, this is when you say”yep – not worth it”. It may be Erikson’s livelihood, his job, his identity, but health has to come above everything else, and when you put yourself in his […]
Maybe it’s weird and irrational, but this World Cup hasn’t even started yet, and all I want to happen is for our Arsenal boys to come home. Perhaps this feeling was triggered by the Jurrien Timber news, which I spoke about yesterday, or maybe it was the news from Tommy Tuchel that Bukayo Saka is […]
Most of the time, when I write my daily ramblings, I jot down a stream of conscious thought and then rack my brains as to what the title should be. But there are rare occasions where I start with the title and let it flow from there. Why am I telling you this? Well, obviously, […]
I didn’t blog yesterday, as I didn’t have time, because I was on my way to the Emirates to film a documentary a mate of mine is making. But when I was on my way back, listening to a few podcasts, I was thinking to myself, “I wonder when the transfer silly season will start […]
