Bit of a mega-delayed post today and, believe it or not, it's not got anything to do with my concoction of Sagres, Vinho Verde and fine ruby Port I drunk yesterday. My Wi-Fi was being a little temperamental so I had to come away and come back again. Such is life I suppose. The big [...]
It seems that we're in full flow on the transfer tittle-tattle-go-round, which means the happiest people to be are journalists, because they are the ones who have all of the attention. This time of year must be on their objectives or something, because the self-promoting and exposure-grabbing knows no bounds. If there's a meeting of [...]
I must process to you, dear friend, that when Wojciech Szczesny first started to break into the Arsenal team, I thought we had a goalkeeper for life, if not at least the next ten years. He appeared to have all of the correct attributes to make it as one of the best. He was at [...]
This is it people. Cup final day. It's hard to effectively communicate the significance of today to anybody who isn't a football fan, or even isn't a fan whose team is in the final, but this is season defining. And I mean that with no sense of hyperbole at all. By 10pm tonight we will [...]
It's Friday, the week has nearly met its maker, but more importantly we're less than 24 hours until FA Cup final Matchday. Much like when Arsène said that he still gets the same buzz as last year and every other time we've won a trophy under his tenure, the cup tomorrow feels as exciting and [...]
These are the blogs that I started this site to write. It's victories like today that make the daily musings and nonsensical ramblings feel glorious in the extreme. Sometimes there's nothing better than savouring victory against a highly ranked opponent on their own turf. Sometimes you just have to drink it in, savour every drop [...]
I do like FA Cup weekend. Especially when a load of teams I would traditionally 'fear' have been knocked out in the previous round. Now, if only Preston and Palace can do me a big flavour and do the business against United and Liverpool respectively, then the FA Cup will become super awesome. Of course, [...]
After over a month in which I've frequented The Emirates, that performance and result yesterday was just the tonic required for a first home league game of 2015. Everything about yesterday went exactly how it should always be, in the ideal world of a Gooner, with a relatively very early goal, complete control of the [...]
Blimey am I not a fan of these Sunday 1.30pm kick offs. It's a ruddy pain in the derrière if I'm completely honest. After all, Sunday's should be solely for sleeping in and recovering from any said hangover that one might have. Particularly if Arsenal have won from a 3pm kick off on a Saturday. [...]
Wow, we're full of exciting and wonderful Arsenal news today, aren't we? Item one on the agenda is that any player caught smoking is apparently being given the punishment of having to train with the youth team by Arsene Wenger. Woah....hold on there AW, are you sure you want to do that? After all, when [...]
