The accursed interlull. This one crept up on me to be honest. This will probably sound incredible but it simply slipped from my mind at the backend of last week into Saturday. Normally, as you know, I would try to watch as many home nations matches plus as many as I can where Gunners are […]

Here is the post I had hoped to run with last night, but was probably best left for a day, as things turn out. It is a bit me, me, me for a while I’m afraid, but it’s an international break so there isn’t much fresh football news to discuss, and eventually it reaches a […]

How does one make an interlull piece less tedious? Well, rather than try and cover every game featuring a Gunner I’ll talk about the three matches I did watch, with no presence from The Arsenal whatsoever. Apologies if you are in Wales or outside the United Kingdom. Monday was spent in front of two screens […]

A busy old week ended with The ABW podcast on Thursday (see below), A day on a wonderful golf course at Chipping Norton yesterday, and watching England’s cricket and football teams endure or enjoy mixed fortunes today (Saturday).

Quickly into tonight’s post as it will be a full one. Our 2019/20 season kicked off in the early hours of this (Tuesday) morning with a less than taxing fixture against another of Stan Kroenke’s clubs, the Colorado Rapids. A young Arsenal side put a stranglehold on the fixture early on. Debut boy Gabriel Martinelli […]

It’s pitchfork and lit torches time for me this evening. Those who have seen me at close quarters in the North London derby can attest to the fact that my usually calm veneer can very quickly become what others would describe as irrationally tarnished. It’s my experience of the fixtures over many years that causes […]

Refreshed and tanned it is apt for me to recap on a week away, Arsenal style. I had hoped that things would have picked up on the week preceding it when precious little happened. Welcome to yet another Gunners close season. After a quiet weekend we launched a shiny new kit on Monday. I have […]
