Okay, so here's the thing: I'm gonna level with ya. The first part of today's blog is written in a slightly inebriated haze and post-match big game glow. It's delivered to you because I think we saw a mature Arsenal team that has delivered a statement to the rest of the league that guess what, [...]
Well, I learned something about my own ability to predict football results yesterday, which was that I really shouldn't bother. After yesterday's blog I had made some assumptions and whilst the only result I categorically predicted was the United one (which I got wrong), I also thought both Spurs and Leicester would drop points, which [...]
Well, well, well, my how the 'mighty' mighty have fallen so quick, so fast and so hard, eh? I wonder if, at the end of season party when all of the back-slapping and self-congratulating had finished, the chortle from the speech about how there is a team who only play in calendar years (the jibe [...]
It's all very quiet at the moment. Perhaps you would expect this though, given the fact we play on Monday, which is why we see only the occasional titbit of information from the official site. Today's informational advent calendar chocolate equivalent is Jack Wilshere for me (I say 'for me' because it was probably released [...]
Doesn't Petr Cech just sound like one of the nicest people in football. Never a bad word to say about anybody and, having worked under Jose Mourinho twice, he would have plenty of reason to spill the odd bit of bile, in the mould of his one-time manager. But no, he's just a happy chap, [...]
This season is crazier than Will Ferrell, hepped up on goofballs, riding a unicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. Everything is weird and no more so can it be signified than the game I watched yesterday in which the current Champions lumbered their way around the pitch against a team who were relegation [...]
That should have been a lot easier than it actually was, or looked like on paper, for those neutrals looking at their phones, papers, etc, on a Sunday morning and seeing how the match panned out. The truth behind the result is - as often is the case - a little different from what transpired [...]
Quite often with Arsenal, when you hear rumours about an injury lay off, it usually results in the reality being much worse than feared. Rumours of a three week lay off = out for six weeks Hearing about a month out = three out. Possibility of a return before Christmas = Christmas 2016. So it [...]
It's match day today and another away game against a Norwich side who will be looking to pick up some points in front of their home fans and also move further away from the teams at the bottom. For us, it's an opportunity to climb a couple of places up to second if we can [...]
With the friendly game to take place at Wembley tonight most probably being the centre of attention for most of the world and its media, it is perhaps inevitable that from an Arsenal perspective there is some involvement. I suspect we'll see Giroud and Koscienly take their place in the team at some point, whilst [...]
