Morning folks. I don't normally make a habit of signposting people in a different direction to another part of the internet at the beginning of my usual daily ramblings, but I was particularly impressed with this week's Arsecast, in which Andrew and James had a chat about transfers, what's on the horizon (or not as [...]
Mikel Arteta talked to the assembled press yesterday and I have to say I thought he talked about a whole manner of things that were interesting to try to read between the lines. So much so that I actually think more was debated about 'other stuff' than the actual Brighton game itself. Which to be [...]
Do you know what's really weird? It's match day today and yet over the last 24/48 hours I keep forgetting Arsenal are playing Crystal Palace tonight. It goes to show just how much this season is paling into insignificance already. Part of me thinks it's a good thing, because I'm not going to get worked [...]
Isn't it just so very Arsenal that when all seems lost and there is little to play for, the team finds a level of character from deep within it, to pull off a victory away from home against a high-flying Chelski who have been bulldozing most teams and beat Man City at the weekend? Perhaps [...]
Well folks, this feels like it could be pretty much it tonight, what it all boils down to and should the worst happen this evening and we sh*t the bed against Unai Emery's Villareal then the season is essentially finished in all but name. It feels like last chance saloon for Mikel and his charges [...]
One day to go until the real nerves kick in, eh? And I do mean REALLY kicking in, because it feels like this game has become even more essential in terms of the potential future of Arsenal; another Sliding Doors moment for the whole team, manager and everyone associated. There were even some pretty spurious rumours [...]
Before I get into the usual ramblings, have a look at these little beauties from a mate of mine Gav - Arsenal-related beer mats. Kinda funky. There's no update on team news ahead of today's pretty meaningless game away at Newcastle today and given the fact that the club is on a social media blackout [...]
Phew. That was a relief to see that Man City are still in control when it comes to the Man City Cup, the cup which essentially proves that if you have enough money you can build a squad to rotate that is better than other squads. But the most important thing at all was that [...]
I will get to the football that was played last night, eventually (and unfortunately), but first of all there should be only one place to start today's Arsenal-related musings and that is with the protest yesterday. Estimates between 2,000 to 3,000 fans were there outside the ground yesterday and in bringing together that many people [...]
It feels a little bit odd to be talking or even thinking about ACTUAL football after the last few days that we've had, but ACTUAL football there is on the horizon, with a game tomorrow night against Everton at The Emirates. And a game in which there will be fans there. Not in the stadium [...]
