Players feel the same boosts as us with transfers, but you need to get it right

It's all very quiet at the moment. Perhaps you would expect this though, given the fact we play on Monday, which is why we see only the occasional titbit of information from the official site. Today's informational advent calendar chocolate equivalent is Jack Wilshere for me (I say 'for me' because it was probably released [...]

Clean sheets are for all; the Ox needs to go back to what he’s good at

Doesn't Petr Cech just sound like one of the nicest people in football. Never a bad word to say about anybody and, having worked under Jose Mourinho twice, he would have plenty of reason to spill the odd bit of bile, in the mould of his one-time manager. But no, he's just a happy chap, [...]

Champions League malaise isn’t enough to keep me from Premier League excitement

This season is crazier than Will Ferrell, hepped up on goofballs, riding a unicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. Everything is weird and no more so can it be signified than the game I watched yesterday in which the current Champions lumbered their way around the pitch against a team who were relegation [...]

Villa preview: time to build momentum

Eugh...Christmas two-day benders...fun at the time but when you eventually wake up to smell the coffee, it ain't great, is it? That's where I'm at this morning, but if there's anything that can stir me from a day under the duvet, it's The Arsenal. A 1.30pm kick off away to Aston Villa on a weekend [...]

People listening to Mesut’s subtle undertones, Cech’s banging and Walcott’s buzz

There's so much to go through today, I don't even know where to start! How about the revelation that Cech's super-awesomeness and ability to make save-after-save appears to be entirely down to Rock Band, for which I'm sure the good folks at EA are delighted with, as they now have an angle for marketing in [...]

The great escape led by the charge of Campbell III

I've seen three different first team Campbell's in my time as an Arsenal supporter. Kevin was a decent forward, Sol was an immense centre half and now Joel, who I will admit I have been a clear sceptic of in the past, has stepped up in an important game and maybe what Arsène 'smelt' in [...]

Champions League rabbit out of a hat tonight, Arsenal?

Tonight is - if you believe Joel Campbell - the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. I get that, especially given that our Champions League future hinges on a 2-0 win or better score line, but whilst it might be important 'to date', I don't think we'll look back on it as [...]

Legislating for a lack of creatives isn’t easy at Arsenal

As far as weekend's go, in terms of our result and in context of results for other teams around us, we can all be quite happy with our lot this Monday morning as I type. Liverpool, City, United and the Spuds all dropped points. Sure, Leicester kept up their winning habits, but let's let them [...]

Arsenal make it hard work, but they do the business against the Mackems

That should have been a lot easier than it actually was, or looked like on paper, for those neutrals looking at their phones, papers, etc, on a Sunday morning and seeing how the match panned out. The truth behind the result is - as often is the case - a little different from what transpired [...]
