Morning folks. We're two days down from the latest Arsenal farce in the shape of the Brighton result, with two days between us and the next potential melt down on the pitch from a collective of Arsenal players with no confidence or belief. I guess you could call this the eye of the storm? The [...]
When The Management walked into the lounge yesterday at around 4pm and asked "how did they get on?" In reference to Arsenal's dismal 2-1 defeat away to Brighton, I think she was a little taken aback by my nonchalant "they lost. Meh. Do you fancy watching Blade Runner?" response. Her response pretty much summed it [...]
I find it very interesting how the narrative from Arsène and some of the players, like Petr Cech, are finding time to talk up the brilliance of Man City. Don't get me wrong, they are clearly a cut above the rest, they clearly will win the league and clearly, we are nowhere on their level. [...]
Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a football club softly creeping Left has manager that is sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams Wenger walked alone Nobody could seem to dethrone *************** The prophetic words [...]
Flipping heck it's cold. So very cold. Cold enough to freeze the soul. It's certainly not warm enough to survive without a boiler, which is what happened in our household last night. Let's just say that when you need to shower by boiling a kettle at 6am in the morning, you hardly feel set up [...]
Gee golly it's cold here in London. The deceptive cold. The cold that when you look outside from your windows you see beautiful sunshine and crisp white powder on the ground and think "how beautiful" but when you step outside and try to avoid the ice you think "how treacherous". That, plus the fact that [...]
I kept my own counsel yesterday with matters pertaining to The Arsenal, partly due to the nature of the defeat on Sunday, but also because I felt rough as an old pair of boots. Said 'roughness' was partially of my own doing; I wasn't really that well on Sunday but I decided I was going [...]
Morning folks, how you doing, on this cup final weekend? I have a little scratchy throat problem going on which, in prep for a final in which I intend to completely decimate my voice from songs from before I've even arrived at the ground tomorrow, isn't exactly a good sign. What isn't also a good [...]
If last Thursday's performance against Östersunds FK was what the players described as a 'professional' performance, is it fair to say that after what we witnessed yesterday evening, we were treated to an 'unprofessional' performance? Because that's what it felt like. Let's not forget that we were up against a mid-table Swedish team who had [...]
Are we wearing red shorts, aren't we wearing red shorts? Does it really matter? This is the kind of news that you get as an Arsenal fan when everything else dries up because we haven't played for over a week and it occurs to me this morning that perhaps we are lucky, because with European [...]
