I really hope the team are riding high today after Wednesday's North London Derby victory. Today is the last of our back-to-back-to-back-to-back away games and a win today feels like it could be really splendid, don't you know. A win today means we go into the midweek game on another high and then if we [...]
It seems like this week has been dubbed National 'sh*t on Arsenal fans from a great height' Week, after the couple of bits of news that emerged yesterday and this morning. Firstly, the FA, who have seen fit to charge Gabriel with improper conduct for not leaving the field of play quickly enough on Saturday. [...]
It's very difficult to make a proper assessment on the teams performances after yesterday's defeat, what with the clear injustice that transpired at Stamford Bridge n'all, pretty much ending the contest before the halftime whistle had even been blown. Perhaps we have Gabriel to thank for that, but in truth, he was merely the 'patsy' [...]
The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
Howdy fellas and ladies, hope you're feeling fine and dandy on a Tuesday, wherever you may roam. Let's start today with some words about Mesut. Mainly because I like talking about him. The way he plays football is effortless and ever since we signed him, whenever there's an article or an interview with him, I [...]
Ahh Friday. Full of promise of a weekend of enjoyment, full of Arsenal and everything a home 3pm Saturday afternoon kick off and full of fallout from an Arsène Wenger press conference. For it is he, the man with which so much irritation appears to be directed, who has caused much consternation amongst some Arsenal [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
On Sunday it appears that, post the 0-0 stalemate between the forces of good and evil, Thierry Henry took the time to make suggestions that: A) Arsenal could never win the league with Olivier Giroud B) Arsenal would need to bring at least another goalkeeper, central defender, central defensive midfielder, before they would be able [...]
I don't know how Mikel Arteta does it you know. Or Tomas Rosicky. Yesterday evening I lumbered my way around a five-a-side pitch for an hour, picking up two blood blisters on the soles of my big toes, as well as aches in parts of my body that I didn't know could get aches.Perhaps it [...]
