Man, that felt good yesterday, didn’t it? After all of the hand-wringing about our lack of signings this month, after what felt like a very barren beginning of the year with us profligate in front of goal and virtually out of the two domestic cups, Arsenal turned up on a cold London February afternoon and [...]
Arsenal's conclusion to this horrendous Champions League group stage format concluded last night and after the initial concern of how the format would play out when we drew away at Atalanta and then ended up losing to a dodgy penalty away at Inter on match day three, we ended up finishing third in the competition, [...]
Congratulations to Michael Oliver. You made it all about you yesterday. You proved once again that your biases are clear when it comes to Arsenal and not even for the first time this season, you decided to change a game based on a decision that for 19 other clubs you would never give. Myles Lewis-Skelly's [...]
Sometimes I write the headlines before I own a single thought on here. But coming out of the ground last night with Arsenal all but secured an automatic spot in the last 16 of the Champions League, that’s exactly what I felt, because we were never really troubled at all against a Zagreb team who [...]
Feel a bit down this morning. After the highs of the midweek win against The Scum, yesterday we were brought back down to earth and sadly, I think our title chances are probably all but gone now. We have 16 games left to play, Liverpool will beat Everton with their game in hand and that [...]
Football, eh? Most specifically, The Arsenal, eh? They put you through everything. Arsenal went in to last night’s game having battered two teams and been basically knocked out of two cups (I mean, come on, we’re not overcoming a 2-0 home defeat in the North East), piling up chances after chances in those games, with [...]
Sometimes when I watch Arsenal, I just have that feeling of “oh no, this is going to be one of THOSE games” and after we’d created a couple of good chances before Newcastle got their first goal, including Martinelli crashing the ball off the post, I started to have that feeling. It’s the feeling that [...]
Well now, that was much better than the Ipswich game, eh? In fairness, there is of course a lot to do with game state with all matches and the one on 27th at home was against a team absolutely battered in their previous match and therefore naturally not wanting to create a spiral of doom [...]
Howdy peeps, from an overcast Johannesburg, in which me n the Management are spending our Christmas with friends. The time zone is a couple of hours ahead of the UK which meant I was able to time the watching of the game with an early dinner, meaning no disruption to the most important activity of [...]
I said it as I was on my way home last night from The Emirates, but that was your archetypal 'tale of two halves' from The Arsenal last night, from attacking sense, I mean. Arteta suggested he would do a bit of rotation and I had a feeling that Tierney would make his way back [...]
