Arsene took on the press yesterday and, as expected I suppose given our form and the announcement of a signing to talk about in the shape of Gabriel, he was in quite a jovial mood. I must say, it is much more preferable to me when everyone is a little bit more happier. I think [...]
It's Ben today giving his thoughts on last weekend and the FA Cup in general. I'll be back tomorrow with a dissection of what Arsène said in his pre-villa presser. Chris We've been told in recent weeks that The FA Cup has been becoming secondary and it's losing it's appeal. Last weekend begged to differ. [...]
It's finally happened. After waiting for so long, Arsenal announced the signing of Gabriel from Villareal for the now standard princely sum of "undisclosed fee". When I say 'finally happened', it has a few meanings of course. Firstly, given our general knowledge about the transfer for about a week now, it was finally announced after [...]
Do you think that Arsenal deliberately hold on to transfer announcements, just to troll the entire Arsenal supporting social media world? Feels like it, doesn't it? So perhaps it should come as no surprise that we're all still waiting on the Gabriel Paulista announcement (as I type), because Arsenal are masters of the 'shall we? [...]
Yesterday we learnt our fate in the FA Cup and after a brief sojourn down to the south coast, it's more home comforts, after a home draw against Middlesborough was announced. Given all of the teams that still remain in the competition, it could have been easier, especially as Boro are playing well and look [...]
After a weekend of some surprising Premier League bloody noses, when I sat down to watch The Arsenal take on Brighton, the one thing that really settles the nerves is a nice and tasty early goal. So when Calum Chambers found Walcott in a bit of space inside the box after a minute and a [...]
Well what a weekend of FA Cup football we have witnessed, eh? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, with a host of 'big' teams crashing out to supposed inferior opposition. And at home too. Chelski, Spuds and City were all sent packing and the form team and surprise package this season - [...]
Every time Thierry Henry pauses for dramatic effect. An angels heart skips a beat and one of those Lad accounts on twitter dies. I spent the early part of Sunday afternoon hanging off every word of what the delicious Frenchman had to say. It reminded me of having an new colleague at work. They have [...]
This country I reside within is beings severely punished at the moment. How else can you explain the ridiculously cold weather that we're having to endure? I mean really, 2'C? Madness! I tell you who else is mad: Arsène Wenger, that's who. I think the present cold snap has frozen his transfer deflector shields, because [...]
It appears I must have some sort of political sway at Arsenal HQ, because after my plea for the Bielik deal to be announced, low and behold the young fella turns up on the official site as a confirmed signing. I do find it interesting that young plays - boys really - that come from [...]
