I knew it wouldn't last you know. It simply couldn't. There was only so much time that could elapse before people started to realise. There was only so long that people would spend salivating and frothing at the mouth over the two Manchester clubs, before they started to pay attention to teams like ours. I [...]
Arsenal are well-known globally and they have a fan base that stretches across every continent. Here are five signs you're a Gooners fan. Let us know in the comments how many signs you recognized. When you hear "The Invincibles" you know we're not talking about Preston North End. For those unaware, Arsenal were dubbed "The [...]
I can tell you this right now - going for afternoon cakes in house of Sunderland supporters after your team has just put them to the sword by four goals to one - is definitely more preferable than doing it when the result is not in one's favour. Having spoken to The Management's family about [...]
An away trip to Sunderland for a lunchtime kick off it is for us all today. Well, obviously not those in different time zones, but we'll all be watching it live at the same time. I've assumed the usual position of being up in Northumberland seeing The Management's family this weekend, allowing me to profit [...]
In classic Arsène and Arsenal style, I predicted a press conference yesterday, which inevitably led to there being none whatsoever. I have a history of shoddy predictions when it comes to Arsenal, which is why I don't bother making them on the blog usually, especially when it comes to games. I don't need that kind [...]
When it comes to football, I like to think of every conceivable way in which Arsenal can gain an advantage, against every current and future opponent. Which is why I always look out for upcoming opposition matches, to see if there is any injuries, suspensions, or even poor form that I can hold on hope [...]
I managed to squeeze my way in to the ground yesterday for the League Cup game against Reading, but only after I'd queued to get a paper ticket printed (the one minute it took to print the ticket set me back a cool additional 'admin' charge - I'd love to earn that kind of money [...]
I think I've said this before, but I do like going to the League Cup games, because to me they represent an Arsenal match with less pressure and worry than a usual league game. Or FA Cup game. Or Champions League match. It's an opportunity to see a few of the rotated players in action [...]
I was a little too worse for wear yesterday to blog, having consumed quite enough spiced rum on the Saturday evening, so I decided I'd wait until the inevitable affect effects had run their course and blog today on Saturday's game. I suppose there's also an element of the match itself having been a bit [...]
So, here's the thing: It's match day. I can't go because I have to go to a wedding. And it's a Spurs fan who is getting married. This is the sort of heresy that one wouldn't normally share with a fellow Gooner as yourself, so let me tumble down the rabbit hole a little further, [...]
