After a lovely bank holiday relaxing with the family yesterday, all of that has already been undone as I tap away at my iPhone this morning on the tube journey in to work, on account of what we'll find out in the next 48 hours. By this time on Thursday our future will be known [...]
Right, we're in to the one week countdown for the Europa League Final, so of course Chelski being Chelski they're trying their best to get every inch of an advantage or mind games that they can, this time via leaked news that Petr Cech will be joining the club in the summer as Sporting Director. [...]
Morning Gooners. One day down, another seven to go until we learn our fate and from what I hear this game is almost certainly viewed within the club as a watershed moment. Especially when it comes to summer plans. If Champions League football is on the table for next season then everything changes, not only [...]
It's the last home game of the season today, a chance to say goodbye to Cech and Ramsey and quite unbelievably, a game in which winning could still keep us in the hunt for a final day top four spot. Quite how we are still in it is beyond me but bizarrely after the Tiny [...]
Alright fellow Gooners? How goes it? Are you pleased that we seemed to have at least managed to get through 24 hours without a bit of turmoil? Nice, isn't it? Nice to not have to roll your eyes at the seemingly sinking ship that is our admin team. Instead we had the announcement from Petr [...]
If you're a regular reader you'll be well aware of my 90s obsession with Championship Manager as a kid. In many ways it basically set the tone for any kind of tactical analysis of the game, which probably explains why I'm not really too great when it comes to some of the in depth, data [...]
Back on the horse today lads, there's an opportunity to extend the undefeated run to 13 and despite the fact we're all bricking it for Saturday evening, we should still approach tonight's game with the right attitude, approach and hopefully, safe passage in to the quarter finals of the League Cup. Blackpool are tonight's opponents [...]
A few 'firsts' from yesterday's game that were worth picking up on I thought. First of the 'firsts' - a clean sheet! How about that eh? Turns out we do know how to do those, even with our most impressive defender of the season - Sokratis - picking up an injury early on and being [...]
Winning football matches away from home you say? Well yes please. Although perhaps we could work on making it a little bit easier for ourselves by actually doing it without brain farting our way in to conceding goals and having to rely on our forwards to do the business each week, eh? From the first [...]
Because we haven't had a new manager in so many years prior to this summer, we haven't seen the usual "this manager is working us soooo much more harder than the last one" type comments from footballers at Arsenal, so yesterday's comments from Bellerin are welcome but I personally take it with a pinch of [...]
