A timely Alexis breather? How about a flexible transfer window just for Arsenal?

Time is a good healer. I feel less peturbed about the lacklustre performance on Sunday now than I did yesterday. I'm still - nor do I ever will be - at the stage where I'm spinning this in to a more positive outlook like Arsène did when he said "at least we didn't lose", but [...]

Injuries, ‘easy runs’ and defences – the problems keep coming at Arsenal

On the face of it, if you consider that we are still just two points from the top of the league, life appears to be not that bad for us. But that is if you ignore some of the clear issues that appear to exist at the club right now. A 1-1 draw against Norwich [...]

Seeking solace by finding out about the Arsenal opposition

Saturday's without Arsenal are like pies without mash. You can get by, you can even find some enjoyment, but it never quite has the same impact. That's what we're faced with today boys and girls. No mash. Not even a potato. Still, at least it means I can observe the other games happening today and [...]

A title race for all and an Alexis made from stronger stuff

Good old Arsène and his early press conferences. It gives me something to talk about on a Friday, you see, so I'm always happy when it happens. Of course, Saturday may still be a quiet day, but that's none of my concern first thing on a Friday morning, I can tell thee! Concerns. Do we [...]

Morale boosting win with Mesut, Santi and Alexis shining

I know it's pretty easy to talk about it in hindsight, but that was pretty much as routine as you're going to get in the Champions League, perhaps somewhat to most Arsenal fans frustration given the relative ease in which we dispatched Zagreb compared to the Olympiakos game. In truth, our opponents were less than [...]

Frustration and relief – the North London Derby

What on earth do you make of that game yesterday? I don't even know where to start if I'm honest. I don't k is whether to express relief that the team managed to salvage a draw, or frustration that we looked so leggy and at times disinterested, or at least a little clueless and out [...]

Munich: a steep hill to climb, but it’s only a hill, right?

This feels like an incredibly steep hill for the team to climb tonight. In fact, whilst not impossible, it does feel like the kind of bill that you'd probably walk around if you had the chance.  Bayern Munich on their own patch are a formidable opponent to say the least, but given that we have [...]

Grinding out a flattering result – lovely

I watched yesterday's game through an iPhone stream at my parents house and if I'm completely honest, had I not have watched it at all and just seen the Match of the Day highlights, I'd probably have been a lot less stressed. But what I witnessed yesterday felt like something I haven't seen for about [...]

Everton preview: the game will be won out wide

Hello again my fellow Arsenal friends. I hope this Saturday finds you well? Are you excited for today's game? I know I am. I'm excited because Arsenal currently have their tails up and performances have been very good both defensively and offensively of late. We'll need to have another very high level of intensity and [...]

Expect frustration at Watford, but we need to start a title run now

The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
