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 [...]
Ahh Friday. Full of promise of a weekend of enjoyment, full of Arsenal and everything a home 3pm Saturday afternoon kick off and full of fallout from an Arsène Wenger press conference. For it is he, the man with which so much irritation appears to be directed, who has caused much consternation amongst some Arsenal [...]
Doesn't time fly when you're having fun, eh? This particular phrase has definitely struck a chord with me this morning, as I find myself back on the Metropolitan line train and slowly ambling myself towards my grey prison in central London for my first day back to work after a break in the sun.

Arsene spoke yesterday after the window had 'slammed shut' - to coin a hyperbolic phrase - and he referenced the [...]
So here we are. Freedom. The night after the madness stopped and the quiet will soon envelope us. For now there is still the echoes of yesterday's Deadline Day still ringing in our ears and online, with many people taking to Twitter and other social media platforms, as well as texting fellow gooners, outraged at [...]
Well here we are folks, finally after a whole summer of much anger, irritation and frustration from many Arsenal fans, after today we get to put all of the to one side and concentrate on just the football. It's the dreaded 'Transfer Deadline Day' and if I'm completely honest with you, for the last couple [...]
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 [...]
