When you have it your own way for most of a season, winning almost every game, there are bound to be those that crop up that are frustrating. That was last night for sure. It was frustrating for many reasons, but let's not lose sight of the fact that we are: Eight points clear at [...]

Morning friends, hope we're all good today, a day which for many of us will be the first back from the Christmas period after yesterday's bank holiday. I spent yesterday tidying away Christmas decorations and sorting the house out after the Christmas and New Year carnage, then in the evening decided to flick on the [...]

If you were to not watch the game but ask an Arsenal fan what would constitute an absolutely horrendous night's work in the Toilet Bowl arena, they would probably include any of the following: Early goal conceded Silly unnecessary goal or penalty conceded Red card to an Arsenal player Big defeat that could have an [...]

Cue the outrage from many Arsenal fans that we [...]

Morning folks and welcome to Saturday, with an early kick off and an opportunity for Arsenal to try to banish the bad taste of last weekend's battering at the hands of Liverpool.

So it appears that Granit Xhaka's injury also included a bone break as well, which is the reason he's been out a little longer than we originally feared when he went down injured.

Very rarely do I write my blog title each day before I actually start typing my usual daily thoughts. Normally I just spill out on to the virtual page a selection of what I'm thinking about, then I try to put some kind of link between the headline and the waffle I've just written. But [...]
