It's still two days before the team play and quite frankly, the football couldn't come quickly enough, because it hasn't at all felt like a packed schedule so far. We've played one game in about two weeks. So I'm looking forward to seeing how we get on against Palace. Arsène gave an update on the [...]
I like Ollie G. I think I'm even appreciating him more now that we have an option in Alexis that has been so good at times this season. He's finally found a place in the team which, whilst probably not as much fun for him, works well for us as a squad. So I'm pleased [...]
In yesterday's match preview I said that a thumping win would be great, but after the previous couple of games, all we really needed was a win and three points. And that's exactly what we got, so I'm a relieved gooner this morning, safe in the knowledge that we at least managed to tread water [...]
So, ol' Pards has been sacked by Palace, eh? Normally this kind of news wouldn't be drawing too much attention from your humble narrator here, but given who's been linked with a move to Palace as his replacement, I'll admit to it averting my attention. If Allardyce gets the job, it means We'll have Pulis [...]
I don't know if it's because there's no football on this weekend meaning that we've had to endure that unpalatable taste of a poor performance for longer than usual, or whether it's the fact that it's the last working week before Christmas, but it really has dragged for me. It's self-inflicted though. Whenever Arsenal lose [...]
Happy Wednesday to you. Hope it's a good one where you are. Me, I've still got a couple more days of work to go before the festivities can commence, so I'm still in work mode unfortunately. What I am doing though, is starting the process of eating like an absolute glutton, which means plenty of [...]
Alright? How you feeling today? Still reeling from the sheer lack of application from our players on Sunday? I sort of am. To tell you the truth, I'm quite glad we've got a bit of a wait before the next game, because it'll hopefully allow absence to make the ol' heart grow fonder. It's fair [...]
I don't like having to write thoughts like this after a game like yesterday, but you can't exactly call yourself a daily blogger, if you tap out when you have to endure performances like yesterday. Because tapping out was pretty much what the players did against Man City, wasn't it? That was a shameful performance. [...]
I've been doing a bit of the old Christmas boozing of late, so have had a few days away from composing some morning thoughts, but I find myself in a bit of need to talk about Arsenal again this morning, because today's game against City really is a massive one. As expected, Chelski picked up [...]
Yesterday I said that Arsenal needed to nullify the threat of Lukaku in order to secure the points away to Everton. What I neglected to mention is that they also needed to put in the required performance to deserve a victory. Perhaps I've taken that for granted recently. We'd been unbeaten since the start of [...]
