Morning peeps. Happy Saturday, even if it is an Arsenalless one and in my head, I can't quite work out if it is good or bad to have to wait until Monday night before we play. The bad is that by the time the weekend is done we could see the Scum level on points [...]
The arrival of yesterday's press conference was a timely reminder that the infernal international break is now behind us and we can fully focus on all things Arsenal and Premier League, which is a-ok with me. Arteta talked about the need to refocus his players after the international break and whilst the team news is [...]
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 [...]
It's all gone a bit quiet in the Arsenal world which, let's be honest, is a good thing because it means we haven't learned of any players with limbs hanging off as a result of the international fixtures that were played this weekend. Perhaps that's a good thing so I won't knock it too much. [...]
Morning folks. How are we all feeling? Tis' better to go in to an international week of boredom with the glow of victory just behind us than the spectre of defeat, eh? I for one love it, because it means continuous gorging on Arsenal content without it winding me up. I go running every day [...]
Morning Gooners. How you all doing? Any sore heads out there after a night of celebrating St Patrick's Day? I've got a mini one, having had a few beers and then half a bottle of Malbec with a steak last night, but nothing that a little bit of milk thistle and a Berocca won't cure. [...]
I described last night's game as a 'free hit' beforehand and, as much as I was prepared to lose the game against I think kthe best team in the world right now, it still hurts when the truth like that becomes reality. We can certainly take some solace in the performance and when you look [...]
The way in which I try to temper my own intensity and nervousness over a football game is usually to start at the lowest base point and work upwards. What I mean by that is that in my head, if I start at the point in which my expectations are that we will lose and [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday I wrote about how I feared that Leicester would hit us on the counter. I wrote about being super nervous for this game because I thought we would get a match similar in frustration to the game last year; not taking our chances and sucker-punched by a goal on the counter by the likes [...]
