Win your place back on the pitch, not in the papers

By |2017-05-19T20:11:57+01:00September 5th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Internationals|0 Comments

With a host of players currently on international duty, it's a pretty quiet time, if truth be told, so we're left with some comments from the players whilst on international duty, usually about their national team. Like Nacho, for example, who has spoken of the physicality of the English Premier League and how that has [...]

There were few 'big' moves and the transfer 'Archduke Franz Ferdinand' never happened

Happy Thursday to you and yours. Hopefully you're enjoying your time on this Earth and you haven't spiraled in to a pit of despair after Arsenal didn't sign fifty bazillion players on Transfer Deadline Day. Arsene spoke yesterday after the window had 'slammed shut' - to coin a hyperbolic phrase - and he referenced the [...]

Wanted something, but Arsenal aren't a patient bleeding out

So here we are. Freedom. The night after the madness stopped and the quiet will soon envelope us. For now there is still the echoes of yesterday's Deadline Day still ringing in our ears and online, with many people taking to Twitter and other social media platforms, as well as texting fellow gooners, outraged at [...]

Awesome weekend of results, but does it matter?

Completing the most awesomest of weekend fixtures not involving Arsenal yesterday, Manchester United's defeat to Swansea means that aside from an all-conquering Moneychester City (I'll come to them in a bit), we pretty much clawed back ground on any of the 'big' clubs that we dropped points to by losing to West Ham on the [...]

Newcastle result needs context after game changing red

It just simply wouldn't be an Arsenal result if we didn't make something harder than it should have been, would it? The overwhelming feeling from this here Gooner is one of relief, but also thanks to other results, the 1-0 victory over Newcastle looked even more juicier come 7.30pm. Defeats to Chelski and Liverpool, as [...]

Newcastle: a better attack for them, but a better attacking performance from us wins

Ahh match day. Is there a finer thing? I think not. For it brings a sense of hope, of redemption, of anticipation and of a love that you and I know all too well. It's Newcastle versus our beloved Arsenal and it's a match that we quite simply must win.  After last Monday's draw with [...]

Happy with the Champions League draw, little less happy about squad depth

Winning the Champions League is hard. We've never done it and we're a club who has won almost anything you can win in football, often multiple times, so whilst it's always interesting to see who we'll get in the Group Stages of the Champions League, it didn't really bother me too much. The truth is, [...]

My Champions League tips, as Per flags down a bus

Forget hyperbole of Wayne Rooney being 'back' after he scored a hat trick against an underwhelming Club Brugge yesterday evening, today is all about the Group Stage proper and finding out who we'll see rocking up at the Emirates from Seltember. We're in Pot 2, which means that we'll certainly not face Real Madrid, Porto, [...]

Taking the squad to Spudland and a Giroud overreaction

Wellington, wellington, wellington, how about that for a third round Capital One Cup draw for us, eh? The Spuds at their hovel of a ground. Who da thunk it? At least we'll get to see the youngsters on TV...but wait...how many will we actually see? Because you know that these days we have a squad [...]
