Happy Monday, guys and gals. Hope you're all ok? This morning I am thinking about Pierro Hincapie, who got on the pitch this weekend, after Trossard's injury, to help us win at Mansfield and get our name in the hat for tonight's draw. I'll give some thoughts on the draw in a minute, but back [...]
Sometimes I write my thoughts in the blog, then have to think of a title, but on days like today, the title comes first, because it's the overarching message that I have based on events that unfolded in Yorkshire for The Arsenal last night. First up, let's give some credit to Mansfield, because they played [...]
Happy match day, Gooners. With today being a bit of respite from the relentlessness of the Premier League, this early kick-off today against Mansfield represents an opportunity not just to potentially enjoy the build-up to an Arsenal match, but also to see some of the lesser-spotted Arsenal players in the starting XI today. Indeed, if [...]
Oh Dear. The Tiny Totts. Blimey. Crystal Palace, who are hardly a team you'd describe as in form, went to the w*nky Tottenham Hotspur and said: Much obliged. My brother is a West Ham fan. On my Dad's side of the family, they are all Hammers. He's been pretty down of late. But I messaged [...]
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't fun to watch. Arsenal didn't play well and Brighton kept us penned back for large portions of last night's game at The Amex. But boy was that a big result. A huge one. On a night in which Nottingham Forest amazingly managed to pick up a point at The Etihad [...]
Here we are, guys and gals. Match day 30 and with the managers having both said their piece ahead of this game, all that's left to do is have the football do the talking tonight. As I said yesterday in a little review and look at Brighton, this is going to be really tough. With [...]
With around a day-and-a-half until our next game tomorrow night away to Brighton, there's no such opportunity as we had last week with the North London Derby, where we had a week off to bask and enjoy all the #content as the victors. Instead, just 24 hours after I was penning some post-match thoughts on [...]
Yesterday's objective was very clear: Win. That Arsenal made it look a lot harder than it probably should have been after Neto's sending off in the second half probably needs to be consigned to history, now that the points are in the bag. But it doesn't help my general stress and anxiety levels when we [...]
City getting away with it yesterday against Leeds is no real surprise, but what it does serve to underline is that today's game against Chelsea is huge. It's a cup final. We have 10 more to go in the League. Arsenal are as much in control of their own destiny as 115 Charges FC are. [...]
So, now we've heard from the managers, and we have somewhat of a team update, we can start to look at how Arsenal get three points in a London Derby that I am really nervous about. Not as nervous as before the NLD, but just starting today's musings has some butterflies in the stomach, such [...]
