Deep in time added to stoppage time, Reiss Nelson gave us one of the great moments of the Emirates era, chesting it down and thwacking it home to seal a dazzling comeback win from two down.  Nelson’s goal sparked mass delirium, with the bench emptying onto the pitch, our captain collapsing to the turf, an […]

Hello all. In this podcast we discuss ,what I believe was a great performance and I go on a rant about corruption in football. Pedantic George

Can a game be called a nail-biter when the other team creates almost nothing—0.01xG to be precise—and doesn’t win so much as a corner? On today’s evidence, I guess so. Arsenal were impossibly comfortable for an hour, before Leicester tried to get physical and turn it into a basketball match. From that point we had […]

Hello all. In this podcast we look back at the Villa game,a quick glance at the City defeat and a moan about children and their football jargon on twitter. Pedantic George.

Back in the early days of the Emirates, Wenger’s Arsenal gave the word “brave” a new meaning, at least in football terms. For some, bravery will always be about barrelling into the 50-50s and putting your face in harm’s way like Phil Jones.  But for us, as we honed the short passing game that endures […]

Good morning positives, how are you doing? As if losing last night wasn’t enough, no Birdkamp today, so that leaves me to spout my inane nonsense, so don’t be expecting me to tell you anything you don’t know or didn’t see. We lost a home game to a team I believe to be the best […]

After a disappointing result, it’s so predictable how some people will try to avoid the difficult questions by bigging up the opposition. Which is exactly what I’m going to do now.  Seriously, I think we can spare a bit of praise for our opponents yesterday, can’t we?  It’s hard to keep up with everything going […]

As this match approached it was hard not to feel like an American meteorologist watching a hurricane gaining force out in the Atlantic.  First, it became clear that Lampard was out the door, which would boost any football team on the planet. Soon, Dyche emerged as the only sensible option. Landfall for this perfect storm […]

Good Morning . We lost a narrow match away at Man City. You can talk about schedules, fatigue and whatnot, but it’s hard to be upbeat about going out. This wasn’t the League Cup, which you can always shrug off; no, the FA Cup is part of Arsenal’s identity.  Still, there are a few reasons […]

Hello all. In this podcast we (well I say “we” it’s mainly me) get carried away with our performance against United and our setup.patterns of play and just about everything I can think of. I’m trying to keep a lid on my enthusiasm, but I can’t. Pedantic George.
