What a disappointing performance that was yesterday. And there is emphasis on the word 'performance' really, because that's what I think warrants more discussion and debate than the actual result itself. We all love the FA Cup. We've seen Arsenal win it more than most and certainly in the last 20 odd years Arsenal have [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Saturday. And it's a slightly different blog today because it appears as though not only we have a match to digest at lunchtime, but also a signing and one more that seems virtually on the way. On the one that is on the way - Odegaard - I'd like to [...]
We've had ourselves a press conference yesterday ahead of the FA Cup game tomorrow and Mikel had plenty to say on a number of different things, including some of the exits that we've had, with Sokratis getting the platitudes, as well as Mesut - to an extent anyway. He has obviously said nice things about [...]
Morning folks! Soon cometh the weekend, eh? But there goeth the Greek smiler from Arsenal. Yep, the latest departure at the club was confirmed yesterday and it was our Greek central defender Sokratis who the club confirmed it had terminated his contract by mutual consent. The right move, he's never properly been in Mikel's plans [...]
It's Wednesday, the middle of the week, another three days until we meet Southampton in the FA Cup. So what did I do when I woke up this morning? Something I haven't really done all season: I looked at the league table. It's a bit mental. Usually by February you start to see one or [...]
Let's start off today with a good ol' fashioned footballing cliche, eh? How about the one about football being a 'game of two halves? Because that's certainly what was served up by our boys in red and white yesterday and thankfully the latter was better than the former for us fans, resulting in three points, [...]
As the saga I spoke about rumbles further on with pictures and the like coming out yesterday early evening, mercifully we have something else to focus on, which is an important game at home to Newcastle United tonight. It's a game that if I'm completely honest with you about, I'm not exactly massively confident about. [...]
Well now, what sort of Arsenal-related news could we possibly talk about, given that they aren't playing until Monday and Arteta already did his presser on Thursday that we had a chin wag about yesterday? Oh, I dunno, how about a certain German playmaker with whom nearly all of the major media outlets confirmed yesterday [...]
Mikel obviously wanted a weekend without Arsenal as well after that snoozefest on Thursday night, because he did his pre match presser then and yesterday we got the video and transcription on the official site ahead of the game on Monday night against Newcastle. The good news is that Kieran Tierney isn’t going to be [...]
Ahh man that was boring to watch last night. I tweeted that Arsenal are an ugly team with a handsome manager and last night's 0-0 snoozefest against Crystal Palace certainly felt like it was backed up by an Arsenal team so lacking in creative spark that you wondered if we were actually watching a pre [...]
