Nine wines out of ten, four points clear at the top of the league, meaning that whatever happens in midweek with other results, we'll still go in to the weekend top of the league by match day 12. We are now over the quarter way point in the season and we have amassed the same [...]
Morning folks - hope you are all well. Before the usual match review stuff today, it is worth taking a moment to celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, who died yesterday aged 96. I am certainly no royalist or major fan of the Royal Family, but she has always been a [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday! Get in there! I'm particularly excited because I'm going to blow up the big paddling pool I have and lie in it for large swathes of this weekend in my back garden, like some kind of beached whale. Bring. It. On. What I don't want to hear at all [...]
What was Thursday's objective has now been shifted to tonight, with it feeling like the season pretty much rests on what this young Arsenal team does tonight at St James' Park. With the Scum bundling their way over the line at home to Burnley with yet another penalty, it moves them two points clear of [...]
It's not even 48 hours since the NLD and, strangely, I think I'm getting over it a lot quicker than I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, it stung, badly. But I suspect the fact we still have it 'in our hands' for now, as well as the fact there is a game so [...]
What vital win that was yesterday.

The Scum had gone a point clear of us and a draw or defeat [...]
I tell you what, after the shocking January we had on and off the pitch, I was glad to get a bit of respite from The Arsenal in early February. My frustration was palpable in my house on 1st Feb and so having a bit of time away from football - apart from blog every [...]
That was a big, BIG, result last night for The Arsenal. Make no mistake about it, it was hard fought, hard earned and even with a fair dose of perceived injustice for us, that felt like it could potentially have a bearing on our season. If somehow we manage to keep our best players on [...]
Well now, isn't that more like it, eh? The Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde football side turned up once again and we saw what a difference it makes for Arsenal if we are at home compared to away. With the home fans roaring the team on we got our first game of the season that [...]
Friday's are always better when you have some good news to brighten your day, or when you have something exciting going on at the weekend, eh? For me it's a bit of both, actually, as I'm off in to London for a 40th birthday party tomorrow evening which will be fun. But most important of [...]
