Right...so...I think there's been enough time elapsed - for me personally - to start to get over the sting of losing a cup final. I have made peace with the fact that the League Cup as an entity despises Arsenal and has never forgiven us for injuring one of our own players in Steve Morrow [...]
Football karma man, it sucks. The footballing gods in particular, man, they hate me. So I want to take this moment to offer a public apology to all of you guys who read my ramblings regularly: I have let you all down. I went Uber-positive on Sunday's blog. It was a break from the norm. I [...]
Happy Monday, boys and girls. It's a good one to be an Arsenal fan, that's for sure, but my hope for next weekend is that it's an even gooder one this time next Monday. Before that, Arsenal have the small matter of a tough home game against Leverkusen and then a tough Cup Final game [...]
Took the old man to the game yesterday. As we exited the stadium, he said: “That was one of the worst games I’ve seen live”. He's somewhat of a semi-Arsenal fan, mainly because of me, because his family is all from East London, and so he’s a West Ham fan by design, although more of [...]
It's Friday, which means press conference day, as Mikel Arteta faces the media ahead of a really tough game against Everton. We'll have a little look at what he said, as well as Moyes, in tomorrow's blog. Today, I think I'll take a look at where Everton are at. Well, from a form perspective, they're [...]
Half of me really wishes we played last night, so that I could get my fill of Spursiness tonight, because I'm deliberately tempering my humour this morning, because it is a match day for the Arsenal, and I don't want to wake the footballing gods from their slumber to come and give us a kicking [...]
Yesterday I went through my preferred draw for the FA Cup, from the most favoured, through to the least favoured, which unsurprisingly had Port Vale at the top, City at the bottom. Southampton were in second and, as a team who are currently in eighth in the Championship and currently fighting for a play-off space, [...]
Happy Monday, guys and gals. Hope you're all ok? This morning I am thinking about Pierro Hincapie, who got on the pitch this weekend, after Trossard's injury, to help us win at Mansfield and get our name in the hat for tonight's draw. I'll give some thoughts on the draw in a minute, but back [...]
Happy match day, Gooners. With today being a bit of respite from the relentlessness of the Premier League, this early kick-off today against Mansfield represents an opportunity not just to potentially enjoy the build-up to an Arsenal match, but also to see some of the lesser-spotted Arsenal players in the starting XI today. Indeed, if [...]
Oh Dear. The Tiny Totts. Blimey. Crystal Palace, who are hardly a team you'd describe as in form, went to the w*nky Tottenham Hotspur and said: Much obliged. My brother is a West Ham fan. On my Dad's side of the family, they are all Hammers. He's been pretty down of late. But I messaged [...]
