I love hindsight. It offers so much and asks so little. It is a wonderful gift and a soothing relaxant after an evening of the 'now' can build such tension. Hindsight has allowed me to utter such a phrase: What a glorious night of football under the floodlights. Hindsight, as well as the bundled 'header' [...]
A night under the lights to save our Champions League season against the German champions and recent history tormentors. What more could you ask for on a random Tuesday in October? It wasn't meant to be this way. We were supposed to have collected six points and be looking like a draw in one of [...]
Ahh Monday's, the vindictive and evil brother of the lethargic Sunday, how much more tolerable you seem to be when The Arsenal have had a good game. I suppose, given that you are also followed by a matchday Tuesday as well, that I should find you a little bit more agreeable. It almost feels like [...]
Well didn't that all go according to plan, eh? As I suspected yesterday, Watford approached the game with the caution and solidity that you'd expect from a newly promoted side with a reputation building for compact defending and long balls to bring out of defence, so perhaps it was inevitable that the first half was [...]
The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
Quite a lot to get through, after an eventful day yesterday, eh? First and foremost, the AGM and I'll make this relatively brief because a) I wasn't there, and b) it has precious little to do with what is on the pitch and more about what is happening in the boardroom. Or not happening, apparently, [...]
I am the proud owner of an Arsenal season ticket. I pay the lowest possible amount you can pay for a season ticket, which is just over £1,000 per season, to which I have paid there or thereabouts for the last couple of years. Am I happy about having to fork out more than any [...]
Seems I jumped the proverbial gun yesterday with regards to the end of the international break, but thankfully now we all know that the dreaded 'interlull' is behind us after last nights matches, we can start to worry fully about who will play against Watford and what form they will come into the game on. [...]
I think it's safe to come out now, isn't it, after all the international friendlies and Euro qualifiers are done right? I took the horrendous decision to watch the majority of a disjointed and unimportant dead rubber between England and the might that is Lithuania, which is two hours of my life I'll never get [...]
Ok folks, we're over the worst of it now, you can start preparing for the proper football this weekend, as the international break will soon be a distant memory, thankfully. Another set of matches yesterday saw the North Irish have a pretty good day of it in the football and the egg chasers had plenty [...]
