Well we don't half make life hard for ourselves, don't we? I mean this was a Reading team who were 18th in the Championship, with a season of inconsistent performances, but very little to play for other than this game and so I suppose this was always going to be a little bit more difficult [...]
If I was to try to to do the keyword tagging and search engine optmisation of the Arsenal team manifested in physical form today, the one word I would lace throughout any team talk or mindset or thoughts going through each players mind would be: concentration, non-complacency. These are the two things that we must [...]
It's nearly here folks, time is almost upon us and although it's not the FA Cup final but the seminar Wembley, I'm still mega excited. Imagine what I'll be like tomorrow when it actually comes around to kick off?We have already had the prologue from Arsène; possibly eager to cocoon the players in a hotel [...]
If ever you needed an example of how unfortunately, some Arsenal fans are more concerned with off the field matters than on, you only needed to see some of the ridiculous comments on social media yesterday after it was announced that Klopp would be leaving Dortmund at the end of the season.Rather than express surprise [...]
It's the waiting that kills ya, I'll tell ya that much, because this working week has already dragged and it's only Wednesday.With no Arsenal on during midweek, the footballing options were limited to listening in on how the Championship is going, versus enduring the Champions League. With no Arsenal representation there, there's no way I'd [...]
There's still another three days before Matchday is upon us and, perhaps unsurprisingly, all is quiet. So quiet, that talk about Cazorla wanting to return to Spain has seen a ripple of interest across the tinternet. Santi grew up near Real Oviedo and has said he'd like to go back there one day before he [...]
With all the hubbub surrounding our win against Burnley, followed by the hope killed by another Chelski scabbing of three points at the hands of a goalkeeper, I haven't even thought about the defeat of the Spuds to an Aston Villa team managed by Mr Gilet and all-round footballing genius Tim Sherwood. Super Timmy's charges [...]
We're getting rather good at this winning lark, aren't we? Not quite the swashbuckling hammering of the previous weekend, as we hit what is often referred to as the 'business end' of the season, the players are doing everything asked of them by picking up points week after week. Yesterday was no exception and it was [...]
Today's game is certainly an interesting one. One the one hand you have an Arsenal team in a rich vein of form, coupled with a Burnley team in 19th position and having scored just 14 goals all season.But on the other hand you had an Arsenal team that have made a nasty little habit of [...]
What a glorious day I have awoken to in my London suburb. The sun is shining, The Arsenal are riding the crest of a form-inspiring run, Arsène has the pick of the sweet shop with his selection choices ahead of our trip to Burnley.Even Koscienly might be back for the game. Laurent Koscienly who limped [...]
