Yesterday some Arsenal players were in action for England and, whilst I'm pleased that Theo got off the mark and the Ox chipped in (almost literally) with an assist, I didn't bother watching the game and it's difficult to read too much in to it. After all, I don't want to watch a pointless thrashing [...]
I feel like I've been a mellow Gooner this summer. Whilst others around me have wavered, have shown a much more vocal level of irritation with the club's policy, I've maintained my stance that I think the squad is balanced with enough quality players and that although I'd like to see a couple of players [...]
Happy Thursday to you and yours. Hopefully you're enjoying your time on this Earth and you haven't spiraled in to a pit of despair after Arsenal didn't sign fifty bazillion players on Transfer Deadline Day. Arsene spoke yesterday after the window had 'slammed shut' - to coin a hyperbolic phrase - and he referenced the [...]
Completing the most awesomest of weekend fixtures not involving Arsenal yesterday, Manchester United's defeat to Swansea means that aside from an all-conquering Moneychester City (I'll come to them in a bit), we pretty much clawed back ground on any of the 'big' clubs that we dropped points to by losing to West Ham on the [...]
It just simply wouldn't be an Arsenal result if we didn't make something harder than it should have been, would it? The overwhelming feeling from this here Gooner is one of relief, but also thanks to other results, the 1-0 victory over Newcastle looked even more juicier come 7.30pm. Defeats to Chelski and Liverpool, as [...]

Winning the Champions League is hard. We've never done it and we're a club who has won almost anything you can win in football, often multiple times, so whilst it's always interesting to see who we'll get in the Group Stages of the Champions League, it didn't really bother me too much. The truth is, [...]
Forget hyperbole of Wayne Rooney being 'back' after he scored a hat trick against an underwhelming Club Brugge yesterday evening, today is all about the Group Stage proper and finding out who we'll see rocking up at the Emirates from Seltember. We're in Pot 2, which means that we'll certainly not face Real Madrid, Porto, [...]
Wellington, wellington, wellington, how about that for a third round Capital One Cup draw for us, eh? The Spuds at their hovel of a ground. Who da thunk it? At least we'll get to see the youngsters on TV...but wait...how many will we actually see? Because you know that these days we have a squad [...]
What did we learn from yesterday's games? That plenty of teams will be as to compete with each other, and this season will be a tough one because of the money in the Premier League improving the quality of a lot of squads. Spuds drawing to Leicester, United being frustrated at home, this season is [...]
