I'm excited for today's game, I can tell you, and not just because the team are testing themselves against arguably the best club side in the world. Nope, I'm also exciting because as far as I'm concerned, this game and the one at the Nou Camp in a couple of weeks' time are 'freebies' in [...]
What a start to a week. Post Hull I lost my wallet (complete with two Arsenal season tickets in) and spent the best part of yesterday evening searching for it to no avail. Then I head to the tube line this morning with an emergency Pay As You Go Oyster card (The Management's) only to [...]
Yesterday's 0-0 home draw with Hull may have had an almost entirely rotated XI, but the failings of the team to dispatch an equally rotated Hull City side, had a lot of familiarity about it. Arsène decided - rightly in most people's opinions I think - to ensure that players were fresh for Barcelona and [...]
It's another matchday, another FA Cup round, another early kick off and another game against Hull City. Anything feel a bit, y'know, familiar to you? Perhaps it's a good omen. After all, in the last two years, when we've beaten Hull City in the cup, we've 100% guaranteed ourselves a trophy. So a win today [...]
I hope the planets aren't seemingly aligning for us to give us a false sense of security. What I mean by that is three fold: Hull City's hectic fixture scheduling Steve Bruce has already admitted he's going to have to rotate his squad for those players who haven't played much recently. He's bidding for a [...]
As a football fan (Arsenal specifically but what I'm about to talk about can probably apply to every football fan), you always want to be able to find comfort in the words of the players in your team, as well as the manager. If the team are talking about confidence, if they are talking up [...]
Can I admit to having an opinion that I have had for some time, that I find suddenly wavering in the light of some new evidence that I've come across? I've long held the belief that Olivier Giroud gets a hard time by a section of our fanbase. He's just not some peoples cup of [...]
With the fallout from the Leicester City game still taking place, I found myself reliving some of the dramatic moments yesterday by taking in a few blogs and watching a new video of the game at the weekend with somewhat of a decent production value and a little bit of dramatic music thrown in too. [...]
Well. Where to start after yesterday's drama, eh? Sometimes in football, the greatest ever goal that can be scored, is one that comes in the dying embers of a match when your opponent has no time to respond whatsoever. It's like your favourite meal followed by your favourite movie all wrapped up into one second [...]
So here we are. We've arrived at the biggest game of the season for Arsenal and unlike anyone would have predicted, it's a home match against Leicester. That could very well define our season. We've all been talking about it all week with friends, family, people we know online, people at work, Arsenal fans and [...]
