That, last night, was a disgrace. Everything was wrong about yesterday. The mangers decision to play Ospina, the lethargy in the team performance, the slow build up, all of it was appalling and I hope the players are having a serious word with themselves today. Before a goal was even scored, my colleagues for the [...]
Having not had the chance to even watch a scrap of yesterday's highlights, I don't exactly feel best placed to comment on yesterday's performance, but hangover aside I shall persevere regardless. Apologies for any brevity caused by my lack of knowledge on the game. I did follow it via the Arseblog live blog, as well [...]
With Arsène yet to even announce any kind of team news for tomorrow (as I type - first thing Friday morning), I feel like a pilot flying through thick, soupy fog without any of my instruments to guide the way. There's a very good chance this blog will crash in to some sort of opinionated [...]
This weekend just gone I spent in Northumberland with The Management's family and, travelling back from the North East via car gives you plenty of time to think. Inevitably my thoughts centred around the Arsenal and whilst I listened to United beat Southampton and the subsequent radio phone-ins, I was able to ponder over the [...]
It's very difficult to make a proper assessment on the teams performances after yesterday's defeat, what with the clear injustice that transpired at Stamford Bridge n'all, pretty much ending the contest before the halftime whistle had even been blown. Perhaps we have Gabriel to thank for that, but in truth, he was merely the 'patsy' [...]
The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
Apparently there's some sort of international tournament starting today. I'll be darned if I know what it is, because my gaze is locked firmly on what happens at London Colney today and then Stamford Bridge tomorrow. Oddly, there hasn't been any team news to come out from yesterday like there normally is, so I'm guessing [...]
In yesterday's blog I spoke about how the start of the Champions League proper yesterday evening felt like the start of the new season, full of hope and expectation, with all of the positivity that comes with it. So isn't it just the most 'Arsenal' thing to do to go and repeat the same mistakes [...]
In an age of hyperbole, even more so with social media making everything in this world of needed 'ASAP', it's quite often important not to go too overboard when making statements in an online forum. So when I begin my blog today with the statement "this could be a defining period for our season", I [...]
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, you're never going to win, are you? Yesterday I witnessed an Arsenal team absolutely dismantle Stoke City, yet when the Match of the Day team had their attempt at 'analysis', it seemed like they were giving a little more of a dig than praise for the performance. The [...]
