Poor old Abou Diaby. Released by Arsenal as of the end of June, his has been a career that could have promised so much, yet because of a North Eastern based call centre yob, was smashed in to as many pieces as his ankle was after Dan Smith made his horrible tackle all those years [...]
In one of few online polls that isn't hijacked by Arsenal fans - because it's only about Arsenal players - it is perhaps the most representative result online that saw Alexis Sanchez smash all other competitors in his own team to the Player of the Season award with two thirds (66%) of the voting. Given [...]
Almost as if to underline what I said yesterday about the Cech rumours, yesterday saw a new volley of sound bites hit our desktops and mobiles, firstly with Tomas Rosicky and then with Jose Mourinho himself. Rosicky played the ultimate 'Undercover Agent' card and effectively stated that there was interest on both sides for Cech, [...]
It seems that we're in full flow on the transfer tittle-tattle-go-round, which means the happiest people to be are journalists, because they are the ones who have all of the attention. This time of year must be on their objectives or something, because the self-promoting and exposure-grabbing knows no bounds. If there's a meeting of [...]
I tried so hard to motivate myself to get up from a comfy lounger in the garden and watch the Ireland vs England match, but what with the sun being glorious and the prospect of end of season international friendlies being anything but, I just couldn't do it. There was one period - just after [...]
Right then, shall we have a little look at the forward line and give them a bit of an assessment, eh? This time last year we were all still enjoying the post-FA Cup glow, which had put a bit of a sheen on what was otherwise a season that appeared to disintegrate after such a [...]
hello there you. Are you pleased it's a Friday and not a Tuesday? I am. It means I get a bit of a lie in tomorrow. Plus my dad promised me a BBQ at his house in the evening on Saturday, so it will be a full day of rest, just got to get through [...]
I'm going to resist the urge to vent towards the pathetic nature of the FA's charge of Jack Wilshere, for getting closer to the fans by singing songs, or the over sanitisation of modern day football and footballers as a result. Instead, I'm going to plough on with my thoughts on how this season's defence [...]
Still basking in the post-FA Cup winning glow? Well too right you are. Me too. I think if we won the FA Cup every year for the next year, the feeling would remain as strong each year, because winning trophies is what we want to see from our team and when it happens you need [...]
Has there ever been a more comfortable and one-sided final? Have we ever seen Arsenal do it the easy away in a big game, with such verve and vigour? Does this happen to us? Arsenal are supposed to make our lives difficult, aren't they? Apparently not. Apparently there is an 'easy way' and all we [...]
