Arsène delivered an update on the status of the squads health yesterday and, to nobodies surprise, there wasn't really anything to update. Arteta, Rosicky and Alexis are the closest and none are available for the weekend. The real irritating one from that three is Alexis, but given Arsène mentioned that it was just precautionary, hopefully [...]
As is always the way when you reach the middle part of a week in between fixtures, all seems to be relatively quiet in London Colney at the moment, which I have no real issue with to be honest. Last night The Management asked which day Arsenal are playing on this midweek, then seemed quite [...]
So, it has been confirmed that we will be top of the league come New Year's Day, after the two City's - Leicester and Manchester - failed to score and ended with a 0-0 stalemate. It's the best possible result that we could have hoped for, in truth, because a Moneychester win would have put [...]
It's all very quiet at the moment. Perhaps you would expect this though, given the fact we play on Monday, which is why we see only the occasional titbit of information from the official site. Today's informational advent calendar chocolate equivalent is Jack Wilshere for me (I say 'for me' because it was probably released [...]
As far as weekend's go, in terms of our result and in context of results for other teams around us, we can all be quite happy with our lot this Monday morning as I type. Liverpool, City, United and the Spuds all dropped points. Sure, Leicester kept up their winning habits, but let's let them [...]
Time is a good healer. I feel less peturbed about the lacklustre performance on Sunday now than I did yesterday. I'm still - nor do I ever will be - at the stage where I'm spinning this in to a more positive outlook like Arsène did when he said "at least we didn't lose", but [...]
The team news from Arsène will be revealed at some point today ahead of the Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb, but there's only one real piece of news we're all nervously awaiting: the immediate fate of Francis Coquelin. Perhaps foolishly, I pushed myself in to believing that it would not be as bad as [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
