It's Thursday of week one of the new year and my, hasn't it flown by, eh? We're already on the countdown to the FA Cup third round and it's a home tie to Newcastle that we start to draw our attention to. However, with the lack of team news - some of which will no [...]
I didn't bother to watch any football yesterday (no Arsenal, no bother) but at 10pm last night as the news was on I thought I'd have a flick through my Twitter feed. And blow me down if I don't see a load of Arsenal fans talking about the 1997/98 run that won us the league. [...]
Welcome to another match day folks and this, I have to say, has always been a frustrating one for me. Brighton and Hove Albion entertain us at 6pm on their turf and it’s been quite an unhappy hunting ground for us recently. Last season they shafted us in the last minute with a sucker punch [...]
The volume of games might be coming thick and fast, but so too appear the rumours of who we might be after when the window opens in four days time. Do we all have the energy for it though? In the last few months a lot of the joy was sucked out of my football [...]
Holy moly I’d forgotten just how good winning feels like. having spent the last three months watching Arsenal lurch from one defeat to the next, it felt like this barren run of dreadful performances was going to go on forever, but last night we were treated to a totally different Arsenal performance to the ones [...]
Boxing Day and match day. There was a time where I’d be pretty excited to have a bit of The Arsenal on at Christmas, but I’ll be honest with you, I’m not feeling overly confident and given that it’s been literally months since we won a Premier League game, the prospect of beating Chelski seems [...]
Happy Christmas Eve to you and your family. And what better way to celebrate Christmas Eve than with a little gift of football gossip that will have most Arsenal fans very pleased about indeed. It appears that Shkodran Mustafi's agent has been in Barcelona this week to negotiate a deal to have him join the [...]
In isolation this game is a bit of a 'meh' one that you can just put in a box and move on with your life. Man City win this competition every year, they are miles better than us, they have players who will punish teams very easily. But the problem we have at the moment [...]
Tonight Arsenal play Man City in the League Cup and surely I’m not alone in thinking: Meh. I mean sure, I want Arsenal to win and sure, it would be great for morale, but with a few players out through injury and a hectic Christmas period that will see us play Chelski on Boxing Day, [...]
I really believed yesterday's game was going to be the change in fortunes. I thought we'd get a reaction from the players and that we'd come away from Goodison Park from it. I had a funny feeling about the game and I tried my best to exude the positive vibes throughout the day in some [...]
