Last night I had a little smile to myself. I was thinking about the outrage when Arsène waved away the overtures of a Fabregassian return to the club and the player himself admitted that Arsène had told him that he wouldn't take up the option on the Spaniard, because we had Mesut Özil, with whom [...]
Now, admittedly the following thoughts for today are based on opinion, rather than in depth research. I write this blog whilst on my way to work travelling in on the Metropolitan Line tube and occasionally it goes in and out of signal, so the ability for me to undertake lengthy statistical analysis is somewhat mitigated. [...]
Time is indeed a great healer, you know, because after disappointment of not collecting maximum points against that lot, I find myself much more at ease than I thought I would. After all, we have just come through a difficult week and still find ourselves level on points with Moneychester City, with the international break [...]
I'm really not sure what to make of yesterday's 5-1 hammering to Bayern Munich. I mean, obviously we played poorly and obviously our Champions League qualifications are hanging by the tiniest of threads, but it was a strange game because at times in the second half we looked good. Heck, Ollie G even weighed in [...]
Perhaps a provocative headline written this morning, but no less a relevant one, as we find out soon (possibly today) the extent of Theo and The Ox's injuries, which means Arsène has to delve a little deeper in to his squad than I'm sure he'd prefer. Arsène has definitely rotated this season more than we [...]
That was a decent enough weekend we've just had, by my reckoning, don't you think? The Manchester derby was the only real concern for us and as the two sides cancelled each other out, it ensured that we are level on points with a City side who after five games, were going to walk the [...]
The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
Can I admit to being a little bit selfish when it comes to the football fixtures? What I mean by that is that because I am a season ticket holder - and very privileged I feel to be in that position - I want all of the home games to be Saturday 3pm kick offs [...]
Well, if it isn't the return of 'Prickly Arsène' in the press conference, who we hadn't seen since at least 2013 I'm sure? We all knew there'd be metaphorical blood spilt when Arsène went in front of the media coyotes, because they would be sniffing for blood and he looks very much like a wounded [...]
The pain of the woeful Tuesday display still remains, but it's become a little bit more of a dull ache than a stabbing feeling in my gut, such is the speed in which football is coming at us with the games we've got midweek and then at the weekend. Almost inevitably, some of the players [...]
