I find it very difficult to watch the Champions League these days. The frustrations of seeing other teams progress when we haven't had a stab at it in so long is annoying and the fact that over the last 10 days or so we have - what feels to me like - probably lost our [...]
Morning folks. Hope you're having a good one? It's Tuesday morning of the Interlull week and let's be honest, this is when it gets the most tiresome, because we're still so far away from the proper football starting back up. There is also little news of particular interest from an Arsenal perspective and so we [...]
I only really got in to football at the age of seven/eight and with a mother and father not in to it (Dad was always more of a golf and cricket man to a lesser extent), I was late to the obsession compared to some of my school mates. So by the time Anfield 89 [...]
If you have read my ramblings for long enough you'll know me well enough by now to know that I try my hardest to not really focus on other teams in my daily musings. They are of little interest to me and besides, nobody really wants to come to an Arsenal blog and talk about [...]
Last night I afforded myself a little post match fist bump after it was confirmed that the Scum had been beaten by Burnley, meaning four defeats out of their last five, but this morning I am back on the Wagon of Fear as it is Arsenal's turn to play one of their games in hand against [...]
Can we have a quick chat about referees? I feel I read blogs, watch videos and listen to podcasts of Arsenal fans, with all of us collectively having to repeat the phrase "Now, this isn't a conspiracy, but..." as a caveat when we speak about referees. We have to qualify any statement before going in [...]
Last night Middlesbrough dumped United out of the cup. I’d completely forgotten that this weekend was FA Cup weekend! It’s been erased from my memory after our Forest debacle, but at least there was some Arsenal connection, as Balogun played 60 minutes for Boro and by the sounds of it performed quite admirably. I didn’t [...]
This time of the transfer window is always where the irritation from football fans reaches its zenith. That's because we're not close enough to the window closing shut to really know exactly where we might stand, but we're also not far enough away from the window that people are saying "we've got time". So we [...]
So it appears the latest direction of 'Arsenal irritation' travel appears to be aimed towards France and, specifically, Lyon, who last night supposedly accepted a €40million bid for Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, with the player supposedly seeing it as an offer 'too good to turn down'. Cue the outrage from many Arsenal fans that we [...]
Morning folks. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Another Arsenal-less Saturday it is, although let's be honest, we're going to have to get used to that in the immediate future, because in February we only have two matches to play! I know it's a short month, but it won't feel like it from an Arsenal [...]
