Happy Tuesday boys and girls. Let's start with some FA Cup news, shall we? After all, we did learn last night our fate and opponents in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup and as I hoped for last in yesterday's blog, we got the kind of draw that our compact fixture schedule could probably [...]
Yesterday was as comfortable as you're going to get as an Arsenal fan visiting the Emirates this season. We all kind of suspected it; after all, I'd spoken before the game about how Wigan had recently lost their manager, were not in form, and, frankly, they probably feel like they could do without this cup [...]
It's FA Cup Sunday for The Arsenal today and i've got to be honest, I'm absolutely hanging out of me arse. Had a lovely linguine alle vongole that I cooked for me 'n the Management and sunk a bottle of Soave and two cabernet sauvignon's whilst watching Brad Pitt in Bullet Train. So the standard of today's [...]
So last night we learned of our opponents in the next round of the FA Cup, with Wigan confirmed as the visitors to The Emirates in February, which brings back all kinds of memories for me. The first was that gawd-awful FA Cup semi-final in 2014. Going into it we were the favourites, we were [...]
I couldn't watch the game yesterday due to family commitments and a birthday celebration for The Management, which meant watching the game on replay and benefiting from knowing the result. It has its upside, in that you feel perfectly calm watching the game unfold, knowing that Arsenal have safely progressed and done so with plenty [...]
It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]
Back from a week off in the Maldives and having fortunately picked a week in which it's been internationals going on, from an Arsenal perspective it's been good because there's not really massive amounts to talk about. Well, nothing that you have probably not already read just about everything on. Then I check in on [...]
I mentioned it yesterday, I’ve kind of bitched about it a couple of times since the draw was made, but for yet another year we kick off with what is a really tough home game to Man United, in amongst a really tough run of fixtures this January, all whilst missing a few of our [...]
It’s FA Cup weekend this weekend and whilst most of our rivals have basically been given free reign to rotate and rest key players by playing teams further down the football pyramid, the footballing gods saw fit to once again do us a dirty by having to come up against relatively strong opposition in the [...]
Morning folks. Another working week begins and with Arsenal in action on Tuesday, we'll be getting in to it pronto, because Arteta has another press conference this afternoon ahead of us playing against Chelsea tomorrow evening. Pep and Bernardo Silva can complain all they want, but I think we have a little more to complain [...]
