Aaron Ramsey has a confession to make: he loves a bit of Coq behind him. Speaking to the official site, I think this was the second or third time that he has specifically referenced Francis Coquelin for singled out praise, talking about how much ground he covers and how many tackles he wins. It's no surprise [...]
Arsenal winning the Premier League this season is about as possible as a solar eclipse...It's Friday, we're all hopefully feeling fine and good, plus we've got plenty of information that has been furnished on us from the club yesterday in the form of the pre-match presser from Le Boss.Arsène must have as much of an [...]
It's West Ham today and I have to say, I am intrigued as to who Arsène picks in the first XI come 3pm. It's an interesting dilemma that he faces; on the one hand he'll have confidence-high players who will be on top of the world after breaking the hoo-doo that enveloped the team when visiting [...]
Liverpool and Chelski out, City all but gone against Barca and Arsenal remain the only hope for British success in the Champions League.How did that happen?I'm not complaining though. Certainly not as much as Chelski players were, apparently, last night. I've seen plenty of friends comment on the antics of the West Londoners, but I'm [...]
I'm still buzzing about the result on Monday night. More so than I thought I'd be actually. Probably more so because I know there's a Wembley semi final that lies in wait and, although we can't be presumptive enough to assume we'll waltz our way into the final (see Wigan last season as a case [...]
It's all rather quiet on this Tuesday morn, which is lovely given that there's a big game tomorrow and no doubt Arsène's presser at some stage today, so we'll get an update on who's available. We've already had Arsène's thoughts ahead of the visit of Monaco, in which he really goes out on a limb, [...]
I don't know why, but yesterday's game with Crystal Palace felt like a really big result, in the context of our Premier League season. There were many people I spoke to during the week who were pretty convinced that we were going to go to Selhurst Park and sweep aside a Palace side who have [...]
FA Cup Sunday. We're getting used to this, aren't we? That, and stupid non-traditional kick off times, coupled with having to pay for two subscriptions. This weekend I've wanted to watch a bit of FA Cup action and without BT Sport on my TV, I've been limited to Match of The Day. It'll only get [...]
Don't shoot the messenger here, but just before I woke up this morning, I was in Berlin about to watch Arsenal play in the Champions League final. We'd beaten Monaco and Basle and in the semi final we'd played Norman Booth under-11s (they were the best team in my youth league and won every game [...]
It's like the Metropolitan Line is trying to protect me from a day of ghastly Spud ribbing at work, as I stand here on Uxbridge station writing today's blog, waiting for a tube train delayed that is rarely late these days. But unfortunately it will only delay the inevitable and Gooners everywhere will no doubt [...]
