Yesterday I did a piece on how important I thought it was that Santi was given a few more years at Arsenal, given his impact on the team, and the result was pretty much universal for all Gooner's that they wanted him to stay and the club should do what's needed. I don't know if [...]
Having had a little wander over to Arseblog news this morning, I see that Santi has been talking about the fact his new deal runs out at the end of the season, with Spain or Arsenal being another option for another year or two. I think I speak for most Gooner's here when I say: [...]
I didn't get to watch the Arsenal Legends vs Milan Glorie yesterday afternoon, as I was out and about in Portugal with The Management, but I've had a look at the highlights on the official site and I must say, I was quite impressed with the standard of play that was on show from both [...]
Ok, plenty of trips to wade through this morning, so let's have at it. By tripe, I mean transfer giff-gaff, media bluster, journo hyperbole and all that jazz. Firstly to BILD, who have been interviewing our German maestro which has been translated by the English speaking press, quoting him as saying that he'd jump at [...]
I'm not really a massive fan of the use of 'memes', I have to say. I mean, occasionally I've gone on to one of those 'meme generator' things to send someone an email, but I don't really do it on a regular basis. Perhaps it's because it takes me more than thirty seconds to source [...]
Having seen the unfancied Italians see off the very much fancied Belgian's last night, my first thoughts (perhaps inevitably) were towards supposed 'big name' players not performing, as well as the hype that surrounds them going in to international tournaments. I find internationals competitions a very strange bubble of football when it comes to players [...]
With the story of Mourinho still dominating the press pages (he would want it no other way), there is little else that the nationals are interested in, so they've put down their rainbow coloured invention pens, focusing on the North for now. I hope that it is the same for the rest of next season. [...]
With Monreal the man of the moment, having just signed a new deal with the club, it seems churlish of me to talk about anything other than our Basque left back. Of course I am pleased and delighted that one of our most consistent performers of the season will be at the club with a [...]
Time is indeed a great healer, you know, because after disappointment of not collecting maximum points against that lot, I find myself much more at ease than I thought I would. After all, we have just come through a difficult week and still find ourselves level on points with Moneychester City, with the international break [...]
Not that we ever needed to be given a clear indication of the bromance between Mesut and the Flamster, but we got treated to 'exhibit A' on the official site yesterday, with Özil waxing lyrical about his partner in crime. Specifically, about his performance and two goals against the Spuds, which were both beauts you [...]
