There are some days where I really just don't feel like writing about football or, specifically, about The Arsenal. Today my friends, is one of those days, for sure. I even fired up my laptop this morning and instead of logging on to the site and starting to type away, I started to go through [...]
When this season is finished and we all start to assess how it has gone, there will be loads of really positive things to say about Mikel Arteta’s side. Sure, we’ll probably have some regrets like the Everton game away, or that we didn’t make more of the Southampton at home (and away too, probably) [...]
Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]
Well, that’s that then, title done and the little hope we had of maybe ending our 19 year wait for a title has evaporated right in front of my very eyes at the Emirates on an utterly atrocious night - from a defensive point of view - for The Arsenal. Southampton had scored 24 goals [...]
Quite often when I write my daily ramblings I just start typing without really knowing what the title of the blog will be. Usually it just comes to me as I draw my final conclusions. But today is different in that I've started with the title and I'm working my way from there. That's because [...]
Todays ramblings from me will be a slightly different take on the 2-2 draw at Liverpool yesterday. That’s because I’m viewing it through the prism of not having watched the game, as I was with The Management’s family having an Easter dinner and so I physically couldn’t watch the game. But I did check in [...]
Ahh man am I hungover. I got to Highbury & Islington tube station at around 12.35 - about an hour earlier than I normally do - so I could watch the City versus Liverpool game. What a waste of time that was. I hope the Scousers are that rubbish when they play us, although I [...]
I know there will be bigger challenges for this Arsenal team to overcome this season and I know that Crystal Palace are on a wretched run of form that sees them winless in 2023, but gosh darnit, it this crucial stage of the season this Arsenal team keep overcoming the hurdles put in front of [...]
Well now, I must confess, I didn't expect to get such a comfortable afternoon for the Arsenal players in West London yesterday, that's for sure. Fulham were a side difficult to play against, especially on their own ground, with a week off and us having travelled to Portugal to play midweek too. This felt like [...]
Given that the away goals rule no longer counts for anything, a scoring draw away from home doesn't really mean as much as it used to, which is only annoying when your team has indeed bagged a score draw in the away leg. Of course with us not in the competition last year I didn't [...]
