The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
Apparently there's some sort of international tournament starting today. I'll be darned if I know what it is, because my gaze is locked firmly on what happens at London Colney today and then Stamford Bridge tomorrow. Oddly, there hasn't been any team news to come out from yesterday like there normally is, so I'm guessing [...]
In yesterday's blog I spoke about how the start of the Champions League proper yesterday evening felt like the start of the new season, full of hope and expectation, with all of the positivity that comes with it. So isn't it just the most 'Arsenal' thing to do to go and repeat the same mistakes [...]
So it's the first game of our Champions League campaign for this season and I have to say, it feels nice not having to say that in August, knowing that we are going through a two legged affair just to progress to the group stages proper. But before I go on about The Arsenal, I [...]
Howdy fellas and ladies, hope you're feeling fine and dandy on a Tuesday, wherever you may roam. Let's start today with some words about Mesut. Mainly because I like talking about him. The way he plays football is effortless and ever since we signed him, whenever there's an article or an interview with him, I [...]
In an age of hyperbole, even more so with social media making everything in this world of needed 'ASAP', it's quite often important not to go too overboard when making statements in an online forum. So when I begin my blog today with the statement "this could be a defining period for our season", I [...]
Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, you're never going to win, are you? Yesterday I witnessed an Arsenal team absolutely dismantle Stoke City, yet when the Match of the Day team had their attempt at 'analysis', it seemed like they were giving a little more of a dig than praise for the performance. The [...]
So here we are. That wonderful of rare things: a 3pm kick off. You can have your Friday nights under the lights, shove your Saturday early evening kick-offs, take all the 'Super Sunday's' you want. I'm a traditionalist at heart with some things and the 3pm kick offs are my not-so-guilty pleasure.It's The Orcs today [...]
Ahh Friday. Full of promise of a weekend of enjoyment, full of Arsenal and everything a home 3pm Saturday afternoon kick off and full of fallout from an Arsène Wenger press conference. For it is he, the man with which so much irritation appears to be directed, who has caused much consternation amongst some Arsenal [...]
Although I didn't bother to watch any of the international games on yesterday, I have had a quick look at which of the games included key Arsenal players and, after a quick glance online, it appears everybody is safe. For now. By all accounts, Mesut Ozil sounds like he had an effective game for Germany [...]
