Morning all. I must admit I didn't actually go to the game last night and when I checked my phone after i'd finished what I was doing in the evening, I feel like I dodged a bit of a bullet, because it was a familiar story against United on our home soil. It's what happens [...]
Happy Saturday all - hope you are enjoying your Sunday after Arsenal's safe passage to the fourth round? I am waking up to a sea view in Lytham St Anne's following the 3-0 victory over Blackpool and having gone to the game with The Management and thoroughly frozen ourselves by the end of the night, [...]
Howdy all. Hope the Christmas cheer is still going strong in the family and you're enjoying the festive period. All except the football that is. I mean who could watch Match of the Day when Arsenal are messing up away from home but Liverpool, the Tiny Totts, Chelski and United were all picking up wins? [...]
Howdy folks. Was travelling yesterday so I didn't really have much time to compile thoughts on the Brighton game but really, how many people want to read about the dross that we were served up on the south coast though? It was pretty turgid stuff throughout and even though we drew with Brighton, it felt [...]
Morning folks. Happy Boxing Day and also more importantly happy match day! This is a big one today because this Arsenal team is creaking under the weight of injuries and with a possible eight players missing from the first team, we're at a time in the season when the games come thick and fast and [...]
It's always nice to kick off the Christmas period with a win and having dispatched a very physical Burnley side yesterday it feels like I can enjoy at least the start of my holiday. It was always going to be a tough game against a side who are known for their stubborn resistance and after [...]
I'm struggling to fall down on a certain type of opinion on yesterday's defeat to Southampton. On the one hand we always have a terrible record there in the league. We've won once in six and yesterday was the second defeat in three years. They're becoming that pesky bogey team that Arsenal always seem to [...]
In the end it was 'job done' thanks to an acrobatic finish from Torreira with about seven minutes remaining on the clock, but you can hardly say it was a vintage performance again from the team, as we struggled to break down a dogged but ultimately technically limited Huddersfield team. The big questions as we [...]
Huddersfield at home is our third game in a week and represents an opportunity to continue this positive countdown to Christmas with a win and to keep the good momentum going. It'll also ensure that confidence remains high at a time in which we've had a few injuries over the last few weeks and some [...]
So Welbz has had his second operation in his ankle and as the club reported on the official site it has gone as well as can be hoped. Not being any kind of medical professional I have no idea what his timescale for recovery is and you can understand the club being reluctant to put [...]
