On the face of it, if you consider that we are still just two points from the top of the league, life appears to be not that bad for us. But that is if you ignore some of the clear issues that appear to exist at the club right now. A 1-1 draw against Norwich [...]
Please forgive me if I end up jinxing the outcome of today's game, but this match today feels very much like the Swansea game of a few weeks ago, in which we had some very difficult moments but ended up winning comfortably away in South Wales. I'm not saying that I think we'll win today [...]
With just 24 hours until matchday, perhaps it was inevitable that we'd start getting snippets of information from both sets of players about this week's Bayern game, with Arturo Vidal treading firmly on the line between praise and arrogance. Having read his comments and seen some of the headlines, you could be forgiven that he [...]
Howdy Gooners, looking forward to another match day? I find this game a fascinating one to predict the team line up you know, because unlike in the league in which a core of 13 or 14 players maximum are realistically going to feature, tonight's game could have almost anybody starting. There will inevitably be some [...]
The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
The pain of the woeful Tuesday display still remains, but it's become a little bit more of a dull ache than a stabbing feeling in my gut, such is the speed in which football is coming at us with the games we've got midweek and then at the weekend. Almost inevitably, some of the players [...]
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 [...]
