I am a completely irrational football fan. Specifically, I am a complete irrational Arsenal football fan and if I'm completely honest, after the first weekend of football I was dreading anything but a positive outcome from yesterday's game against Crystal Palace. That in itself doesn't sound too irrational to you, I'm sure, but when I [...]
So Happy Saturday to you. It's one in which we have to wait a little bit before we get to avenge the defeat last weekend. Sure, we took a bit of a surprise sucker punch from Slaven Bilic's West Ham, but it was only our first game of of the 2015/16 season (match preview from the guys [...]
Today is the very definition of 'muggy', with my clothes sticking to me and general uncomfortableness being the feeling for today it seems. I also seemed to have stepped on to an artists impression of Victorian London, because there's fog everywhere, so all I need now is Sherlock Holmes to solve a crime for me [...]
The fallout from the weekend's game still appears to be reverberating around the social media sphere, with Arsenal fans still disappointed with the opening weekend's result, but time will hopefully heal. It just takes a little longer when you have no frame of reference i.e. It's the first game of the season and you don't [...]
Ohh Arsenal...why do you do it to us? All that excitement. All the talk. All the waiting and hope for an amazing season, deflated in the space of 90 minutes. Yes, it's only 90 minutes and there's a lot more football to be played, but that match yesterday was a bit of a travesty if [...]
Here we are. After all the summer waiting, anticipating and hoping, we've arrived at the start of the Premier League season with the first weekend. It's a bit of a funny one though, because we're not playing tomorrow, so it only really half feels like the Premier League starts in earnest today. The up side [...]
The official dot com site must be as excited about the return to football as us lot, because despite the fact that Arsène's presser isn't until a little later this morning, we have a veritable smorgasbord of stories to pour over before Le Boss even takes centre stage. Thankfully, they're all positive, unlike the news on [...]
The Arsenal murmurs at the moment appear to surround the potential lengthy absence of Wilshere through injury and if it is as bad as being rumoured - out until approaching the New Year - then there is real cause for concern for everyone. Not so much for the squad, because I think we have the players [...]
I've noticed quite a trend developing in young players who go out on loan - sign a new deal first, then get shipped out. It's obviously to protect the club their contract is owned by, retaining the players value, but it does surprise me that it happens so often. We had Joel Campbell last January [...]
Rafa Benitez is obviously a little worried that Karim Benzema's head is going to be turned by the mighty Arsenal. It's the only explanation for the repeated denials that he's going nowhere. But you know Rafa, as Arsène used to find out, sometimes it's better to let an unhappy player go elsewhere to fulfil his [...]
