As expected, Arsène addressed the media ahead of this weekend on Thursday rather than Friday, with the team travelling oop norf today at some stage. No doubt Alexis will be with them, having told Le Boss that he's ok via text. Ahh texting, remember that? The thing that we all used to do before Whatsapp, [...]
Alexis Sanchez really is something else, isn't he? For the last week all we've heard is how broken he is, how his heavy strapping is keeping his hamstring from twanging like an old banjo, yet last night he managed 84 minutes and two goals. What a machine. It just highlights to everyone how much of a [...]
So, those pesky Chilean's have confirmed that Alexis will be playing for Chile tonight which whilst could leave some to being happy because his injury isn't as bad as first seemed, given the strapping on his leg You'd suspect they are patching him up and hoping for the best rather than him fully recovering. I'd imagine [...]
So some football stuff happened this weekend, but nothing that would interest you remotely, so I might as well talk about how I love cheese. Right? That good for you? Probably not. The successful delivery of my cauliflower cheese in my Sunday lunchtime roast is hardly the most riveting story in the world. Pretty much [...]
After Jack Wilshere was quoted admitting he's not sure if he'll play for Arsenal again, I've been thinking over the last day or so: What would it take for him to play for Arsenal again? It's an interesting question because I don't think it's as black or white as some people make out. Some suggest [...]
With no proper football taking place this weekend, I don't know about you, but I'm still stewing on the missed opportunity that was the North London Derby. It's fairly obvious it was a missed opportunity too. Everything I've read talks about how Tottenham will have been happier with the point, how they have shown that [...]
I told you I hated North London derbies. Yesterday was no exception. Worry before, nerves during, and in the case of yesterday's result it was disappointment after. The disappointment isn't because we completely outplayed a Tottenham team who don't concede many, but more that we didn't show our potential in a big game at home [...]
I don't know about you, but I hate North London Derbies, because they cause too much nerves and often too much stress. The build up is fraught with terrible "what if" scenarios and sharing a birthday with one isn't exactly my idea of grand day of celebration. We always seem to be playing them at [...]
Arsène Wenger always has, and always will be, the master of his own way. I bet he wakes up at the beginning of each week and decides when his press conference will be, lifting his phone only to tell somebody at the club to 'make the necxessafy arrangements'. It's the only explanation for the press [...]
So, it turns out, that it's not just Arsenal that November hates this season. There's no historical evidence to suggest that the Spuds have a traditionally tough time during this particular month, but after one game they're experiencing the same level of blood-pressure heightening fury, that we've been dealing with for years. They lost yesterday [...]
