I so much more enjoy writing a post match review after a victory. Monday mornings become so much more palatable! So it is that we all get to start this working week with the sweet smell of victory metaphorically permeating our nostrils this morning, having gone to Leicester and delivered an impressive performance against a [...]
Before I talk about the game Arsenal are playing today, can I just take this opportunity once again to bemoan the absolute travesty that is the state of refereeing in the Premier League right now. Yesterday's game between West Brom and Brighton involved an incident in which a referee - Lee Mason - decided to [...]
I'm struggling to properly put my feelings in to proper context this morning, with regards to yesterday's defeat to Man City at home, because I have a mixture of disappointment and acceptance of what we all watched. When I write about Arsenal in a post match review of what went on I tend to view [...]
Before this game began I looked at Benfica, looked at some of the players they had - the likes of Ottamendi and Verthongen as well as Rafa and Everton - and I was bemoaning our bad luck in drawing quite a high profile team in the first knockout round of this competition. This morning I [...]
Nothing like a bit of intermittent internet problems to start off ones day, eh? It’s amazing how reliant we are on these little black/white boxes that pump invisible connectivity to all parts of our houses and when that goes temporarily we feel lost and bereft. So it’s a bit of old school blogging from my [...]
I don't know whether or not it is because I have the rest of my Sunday ahead of me and therefore plenty of other things to occupy me ahead of the game at 4.30pm later this afternoon, or that I have a stinking hangover and therefore my thought priorities are being monopolised by finding a [...]
Happy Tuesday folks. Well, as happy as it can be when you're locked away at home under lockdown, or a variant of depending on where you live, with Arsenal also losing games adding to the general malaise. And drama. Let's not forget drama, because it doesn't seem to be a day going by without there [...]
It's match day people! How we feeling? Excited? Nervous? Terrified? I must admit to you that I have a nervous excitement about today. The Wolves game may have repeated on me like a bit of dodgy cucumber, but that first half felt good, like it could be the start of something. New beginnings and all [...]
I have woken up this morning and I am still mad about the result last night. There were certainly things in which we could have done more to avoid the defeat to Wolves at Molineux last night, but I am finding it almost impossible not to think about this game and look at the details [...]
You can't win 'em all. Sometimes you have to accept that and yesterday's draw against United, whilst being at home, was definitely one that I'd say "I'll take that" given the circumstances. And those circumstances were that we had a number of injuries, we faced a side who have picked up lots of points and [...]
