The last days of the crumbling empire?

Arsène will have his pre match press conference today and whilst I'd love to start my speculation about who is available, how Swansea will play and what it will mean if we can get back in to winning ways, I am still somewhat resigned and downbeat after the defeat at United.  It has hit me [...]

I am a commodity, I am a currency, I am an Arsenal fan

Today is Arsène's press conference and whilst I'd love to be able to be talking about football, I like many season ticket holders, have had the misfortune to receive an email from the club yesterday afternoon about the additional cash they will require me to fork out at the end of the season for the [...]

Arsenal should have squirrelled away more nuts by now

If, as expected, Arsène confirms that Cazorla will be out for potentially three months or at least until up to March, then that would pretty much cap off what has been a pretty savage seven days for us. Sunday's point against Norwich started the bitter taste in my mouth, because two wins against West Brom [...]

Ox needs one form game, Gibbs needs a run and I need real football

I think it's safe to come out now, isn't it, after all the international friendlies and Euro qualifiers are done right? I took the horrendous decision to watch the majority of a disjointed and unimportant dead rubber between England and the might that is Lithuania, which is two hours of my life I'll never get [...]

Arsène's stability wall protecting the Premier League trophy

Life is short. I seem to recall that it wasn't long ago that I was up north at Uni surrounded by Scousers and Mancs, whilst Arsène and Arsenal were doing me big favours by going unbeaten and giving me all manner of bragging rights amongst mates, one of whom was such a bitter United fan [...]

When a 'dive' becomes 'evasive', plus the worst possible draw

By |2017-05-19T21:35:37+01:00February 17th, 2015|analogy, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, FA Cup, gooners, Gunners, Rant|0 Comments

I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet this morning and no, it isn't because we're away to United (although that is severe Sucksville, but more on that in a bit) in the FA Cup, but it's about media narrative and rhetoric around diving and English players. In August 2009 a penalty awarded [...]

Arsène on tomorrow, me on Szczesny, as well as the new TV deal

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, [...]
