There's no time for basking in victory right now, the games are coming thick and fast and tomorrow night the team will look to make it three wins in a row by trying to overcome Olympiakos. I must say I do love it when Arsenal play so often, but it doesn't leave you much room [...]
In yesterday's blog I spoke about how the start of the Champions League proper yesterday evening felt like the start of the new season, full of hope and expectation, with all of the positivity that comes with it. So isn't it just the most 'Arsenal' thing to do to go and repeat the same mistakes [...]
So it's the first game of our Champions League campaign for this season and I have to say, it feels nice not having to say that in August, knowing that we are going through a two legged affair just to progress to the group stages proper. But before I go on about The Arsenal, I [...]
Howdy fellas and ladies, hope you're feeling fine and dandy on a Tuesday, wherever you may roam. Let's start today with some words about Mesut. Mainly because I like talking about him. The way he plays football is effortless and ever since we signed him, whenever there's an article or an interview with him, I [...]
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 [...]
Winning the Champions League is hard. We've never done it and we're a club who has won almost anything you can win in football, often multiple times, so whilst it's always interesting to see who we'll get in the Group Stages of the Champions League, it didn't really bother me too much. The truth is, [...]
Forget hyperbole of Wayne Rooney being 'back' after he scored a hat trick against an underwhelming Club Brugge yesterday evening, today is all about the Group Stage proper and finding out who we'll see rocking up at the Emirates from Seltember. We're in Pot 2, which means that we'll certainly not face Real Madrid, Porto, [...]
I'm not usually one to talk about what other clubs are doing, but the sheer trolling nature of the Pedro saga means I feel compelled to write something, because it is funny. Well, it would be if it was someone other than Chelski getting the player. If Pedro headed over to Dortmund at the last [...]
Very quick rant: when do you ever see such an over-reaction to a player leaving a club like Steven Gerrard? He's been a wonderful player for Liverpool, but the fact every manager in the Premier League has been asked a question about him, the fact there has been interviews everywhere on his story, as well [...]
So it appears that it's not just football in which there are some 'boring boring' tactics used, as Floyd Mayweather decided that yesterday he'd rather celebrate the equivalent of a 0-0 to beat Manny Pacquiao by winning on points in what I am reading from people on social media, was more of a snugglefest from the American. I'm [...]
