So it appears that it's not just football in which there are some 'boring boring' tactics used, as Floyd Mayweather decided that yesterday he'd rather celebrate the equivalent of a 0-0 to beat Manny Pacquiao by winning on points in what I am reading from people on social media, was more of a snugglefest from the American. I'm [...]

Options in the squad, but still a very tough time with tough decisions

Arsene's presser started with the bad news about Gabriel being out for three weeks, but injuries in an Arsenal squad - especially the infamous 'three weeks' ones - are as par of the course as an Arsenal player, as the new inductee song in front of the playing staff. It's a shame for Gabriel because [...]

Boro: A tight encounter with concentration key

FA Cup Sunday. We're getting used to this, aren't we? That, and stupid non-traditional kick off times, coupled with having to pay for two subscriptions. This weekend I've wanted to watch a bit of FA Cup action and without BT Sport on my TV, I've been limited to Match of The Day. It'll only get [...]

Champions League sorted, now the FA Cup to focus on

By |2017-05-19T21:35:26+01:00February 13th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Champions League, FA Cup, gooners, Gunners, soccer|0 Comments

Don't shoot the messenger here, but just before I woke up this morning, I was in Berlin about to watch Arsenal play in the Champions League final. We'd beaten Monaco and Basle and in the semi final we'd played Norman Booth under-11s (they were the best team in my youth league and won every game [...]

Le boss in fine fettle and the club in form; what we all want, right?

Arsene took on the press yesterday and, as expected I suppose given our form and the announcement of a signing to talk about in the shape of Gabriel, he was in quite a jovial mood. I must say, it is much more preferable to me when everyone is a little bit more happier. I think [...]

Shocks, Gabriel and a tactical overview of Brighton

Well what a weekend of FA Cup football we have witnessed, eh? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, with a host of 'big' teams crashing out to supposed inferior opposition. And at home too. Chelski, Spuds and City were all sent packing and the form team and surprise package this season - [...]

Alexis is the difference from last season's City games

Arsene was in fine form yesterday at the pre-match presser, wasn't he? Laughing with the hacks, joking about their constant reminders on our form against the top teams, even giving a completely straight and direct answer to the questions about signing the young Legia Warsaw midfielder Krystian Bielik. All yes' as far as that transfer [...]

The horizon of hope (and less injuries)

Well what have we hear? Good news and returning players from injury? Is that cause for optimism I see galloping over the horizon, heading towards us at a rate of miles per hour? Sort of, I guess, because until we win some back-to-back games, which seems as likely as a Ched Evans apology right now, [...]
