Arsenal ? what exactly WAS that" A footballing tour de force, that’s what. An otherworldly display of energy. All the hallmarks of a legendary performance, one that cements the status of this squad as mentality...

Another game" Already" Sheesh, this Premier League season… The Premier League has had about 16 two-week breaks, then they lump all the games into one month. It’s really quite irritating ? the more successful a club is in the cups, the worse...

Well, hello dearest friends of the internet. Here we go again – another week of competitive football in the Premier League of England & Wales. Let’s get into some of the mad stuff that happened yesterday. Nottingham Forest skewered the VAR in...

Sometimes, to tee up a match report, you focus on what the best manager in the world is saying about his game. ?It?s unacceptable,” ?Because I?ve won I have the courage to tell you. For the health of the players, it?s not normal. I don?t...

Mikel Arteta needs to show his teeth this afternoon. His players are emotionally drained, they are tired, and I?ve been telling them they only have 5 games left when it?s 6. Sorry boys. This is where the manager earns his corn. Beat...

Fans giving Zinchenko abuse in the Aston Villa game are a disgrace. I can sort of understand folk leaving early when we?re 2-0 down, but abusing one of our own players after the season we’ve had" Outrageous behavior ? brings back...

Someone added me to a tweet about Unai Emery getting a good response from the Arsenal fans this afternoon. I have to be clear that any beef in this land is between me and Emery and it’s all one way. He should get a good response. I didn’t rate...

EUROPA DA DAH DA DAHHHHH! (Or something like that) What a night in Europe’s third-best competition (Champions League > Eurovision > Europa League). So many bad things happened to teams we are in direct rivalry with. Let’s go through...

Mikel Arteta came out firing in the media. I won?t quote, but the gist was very clear. The journey these players have been on has been immense We?ve gone from a midtable joke, to competitors Only one team can win the Premier League and we?re...

Well that was a very weird evening. Arsenal heads into the second leg of the Bayern game with a 2-2 draw and a sharp reminder that top teams, with top players, do not roll over to the new kids on the block. Things started well, Bukayo Saka...

Champions League knockout games haven?t been good to us over the past 25 years, not have games against Bayern Munich. This one feels extra huge given the context of potentially blowing the league against a messy Aston Villa side. The...

You can look at coefficients, analyse the colour of a gilet, get hyped about starting line-ups… but none of it matters when Arsenal face up against Don Unai Emery. His exit from the club cast a forever curse on the big occasions when we have to...

The Premier League weekend got off to a bang with Spurs losing 4-0 to Newcastle in horrendous fashion. Angeball is coming unstuck of late and this was another example of what happens when you start to get sussed in the Premier League. Not too many...

They were dark days indeed, my friends. Unai Emery took the Arsenal job, and I was not happy about it from day one. I tried to hide my disdain for the hire (for 3 hours), but I knew that he’d not be the right fit over the long term. In the end,...

We’ll start out with a bit of perspective. That was Arsenal’s first Champions League in 7 years. It was our first quarter-final in 14 years. Only two of our starting 11 players had played in the Champions League before this season. We just...

The Premier League dropped the fixtures for some of the reworks needed before the end of the season… and they have not been kind to Arsenal or Aston Villa. The big issue" The break Tottenham Hotspur has been given before meeting us. Crazy as...

Good evening, my darlings; how are we on this fine day" England plays Brazil. Should be a fun match-up. Shame the pre-game drama is about a kit detail. That said, I do want to weigh in on it because I live in this world. Nike presented this...

TOMIYASU SIGNED A NEW DEAL. We all love it. Worth noting that Edu and Richard Garlick opted to give him a 2 yr extension (option for one yr), instead of the 3-5 everyone has been signing onto. This reflects two things for me: Lack of...

Arsenal finally moved towards earning their diploma in the dark arts by withdrawing the following players: Gabriel Jesus Big Gabriel Martinelli Thomas Partey Tomiyasu By withdraw, I mean, the players themselves have told their county...

I’m so sorry I wasn’t there for you when you needed a hit of CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW reaction. So here it is now: I like it. Bayern Munich is the perfect blend of super club at a lowish ebb that is very beatable. If you win, you’re really...

What are you doing Friday" That’s right. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTER FINAL DRAW. Feels sexy, right" That is a very nice collection of top tier clubs. No Qarabag for us. Just pure heritage clubs that’ll have American gooners crying off sick...

Arsenal is through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2010. Wow. 14 years out in the cold. And here we are. What a feeling! I’m a touch emotional about it because I wasn’t sure we’d ever get back the...

Well good morning my darlings, how are we today" Good" Great" Incredible" Surely not a 3 out of 10" Don?t be like that, we have a Champions League game this evening. There?s exciting injury news, Tomiyasu is back in contention after a very...

That was my favourite victory of the year because it was exactly the sort of game the narrative gods thought they could control. They couldn’t. The injury-ravaged bully boys of Brentford came to our house to rough us up and put some...

The team sheet is in and Arsenal is looking very strong for the home game against Brentford. Key news: Martinelli has a deep cut on his foot, so I suspect that’s the last we’ll see of him until after the international break. Just thank your...
