The delicious news of Coquelin, Rosicky and yes, even Welbeck

Yesterday Arsène delivered his injury news update via the official site and, quite deliciously, it included confirmation that everyone bar Santi and Jack are back in training. So that's Rosicky, Welbeck and ahead of schedule our midfield destroyed Francis Coquelin. I can't tell you how pleased I am. Well, I can, via this blog, but [...]

Heavy Metal vs Classical tomorrow at Anfield, but this time the symphony should be stronger than previous encounters

So, where better to start today, than the announcement that we'll face Burnley away from home in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Personally and for purely selfish reasons, I'd have fancied Burnley away, as I've got a mate up there and last season The Management and I had a decent road trip up [...]

Iwobi and Campbell star in compelling cup game

I found yesterday's game against Sunderland fascinating, I must say, looking back on the game in the cold light of a January's Sunday. Fascinating from before the first whistle was even sounded, because of the pre-match pressers of both gaffers, followed by the subsequent reality of the teams that they put out. In the build [...]

An Alexis precaution and a LANS flavoured cake

Arsène delivered an update on the status of the squads health yesterday and, to nobodies surprise, there wasn't really anything to update. Arteta, Rosicky and Alexis are the closest and none are available for the weekend. The real irritating one from that three is Alexis, but given Arsène mentioned that it was just precautionary, hopefully [...]

We’re doing the right things in January

As is always the way when you reach the middle part of a week in between fixtures, all seems to be relatively quiet in London Colney at the moment, which I have no real issue with to be honest. Last night The Management asked which day Arsenal are playing on this midweek, then seemed quite [...]

Arsenal don't sign 'ALL the players' shocker

You can tell this is the calm after the transfer storm that was Monday, because there ain't a lot going on right now, friend. I mean, when one of The Evening Standard's main Arsenal stories that I had a look on News Now this morning is one in which Petr Cech's day of signing is video [...]

Arsenal's FA Cup: a new dawn

Has there ever been a more comfortable and one-sided final? Have we ever seen Arsenal do it the easy away in a big game, with such verve and vigour? Does this happen to us? Arsenal are supposed to make our lives difficult, aren't they? Apparently not. Apparently there is an 'easy way' and all we [...]

My cup final. Your cup final. Arsenal's cup final. Make history.

This is it people. Cup final day. It's hard to effectively communicate the significance of today to anybody who isn't a football fan, or even isn't a fan whose team is in the final, but this is season defining. And I mean that with no sense of hyperbole at all. By 10pm tonight we will [...]
