I hope that whatever team is chosen tonight, we see more energy and urgency than our last outing in this competition, because anything other than a win against Olympiakos would be nothing short of a disaster. It's only now, as we reach game week 2 of the Champions League, that we realise the importance of [...]
There's no time for basking in victory right now, the games are coming thick and fast and tomorrow night the team will look to make it three wins in a row by trying to overcome Olympiakos. I must say I do love it when Arsenal play so often, but it doesn't leave you much room [...]
Having not had the chance to even watch a scrap of yesterday's highlights, I don't exactly feel best placed to comment on yesterday's performance, but hangover aside I shall persevere regardless. Apologies for any brevity caused by my lack of knowledge on the game. I did follow it via the Arseblog live blog, as well [...]
I really hope the team are riding high today after Wednesday's North London Derby victory. Today is the last of our back-to-back-to-back-to-back away games and a win today feels like it could be really splendid, don't you know. A win today means we go into the midweek game on another high and then if we [...]
With Arsène yet to even announce any kind of team news for tomorrow (as I type - first thing Friday morning), I feel like a pilot flying through thick, soupy fog without any of my instruments to guide the way. There's a very good chance this blog will crash in to some sort of opinionated [...]
I feel I owe you an apology. I said yesterday that the game last night didn't really mean as much as a league game and that I was pleased that I didn't have the same nervous rumblings in my stomach that I usually got. I lied. In my defence, I think I lied to myself [...]
Quick aside from today's match preview blog: The FA seeing fit to accept the mistakes of their officials, whilst rightfully banning a clear cheat? Has some sort of sense been seen at The Association's HQ? Or was it just some sort of glitch in the Matrix? Whatever it was, justice has been done and we've [...]
It seems like this week has been dubbed National 'sh*t on Arsenal fans from a great height' Week, after the couple of bits of news that emerged yesterday and this morning. Firstly, the FA, who have seen fit to charge Gabriel with improper conduct for not leaving the field of play quickly enough on Saturday. [...]
This weekend just gone I spent in Northumberland with The Management's family and, travelling back from the North East via car gives you plenty of time to think. Inevitably my thoughts centred around the Arsenal and whilst I listened to United beat Southampton and the subsequent radio phone-ins, I was able to ponder over the [...]
It's very difficult to make a proper assessment on the teams performances after yesterday's defeat, what with the clear injustice that transpired at Stamford Bridge n'all, pretty much ending the contest before the halftime whistle had even been blown. Perhaps we have Gabriel to thank for that, but in truth, he was merely the 'patsy' [...]
