Every time Thierry Henry pauses for dramatic effect. An angels heart skips a beat and one of those Lad accounts on twitter dies. I spent the early part of Sunday afternoon hanging off every word of what the delicious Frenchman had to say. It reminded me of having an new colleague at work. They have [...]
This country I reside within is beings severely punished at the moment. How else can you explain the ridiculously cold weather that we're having to endure? I mean really, 2'C? Madness! I tell you who else is mad: Arsène Wenger, that's who. I think the present cold snap has frozen his transfer deflector shields, because [...]
It appears I must have some sort of political sway at Arsenal HQ, because after my plea for the Bielik deal to be announced, low and behold the young fella turns up on the official site as a confirmed signing. I do find it interesting that young plays - boys really - that come from [...]
Morning you lot, I hope you're enjoying your Wednesday and are just happy that we're slowly but surely making our way through this working week. All's still quiet on the Western front, which means no signings announced, not even a 17-year-old who the club has confirmed has had a medical. I mean what's going on [...]
I wanted to spend a little bit of time today to talk a of an unsung hero. A player who has been an almost ever-present in the Arsenal team this season, yet rarely do I take to social media and see his name mentioned. I'm sure the manager has referenced him before at some stage [...]
Well that wasn't quite what we expected yesterday, was it? I mean, victory against the Champions, on their own turf? Ok, who are you and what have you done with the real Arsenal? I'm still actually quite stunned to be honest with you. Somebody obviously decided that the 'Big book of footballing certainties' was torched, [...]
It's Sunday, the time of prayer in the Christian world, to which I too am offering up some prayers to the football gods for this afternoons game. I am praying for a win or even a draw, because let's face it, our chances seem slim giving our history, the form of the champions, our patchy [...]
So it seems the deal to bring Krystian Bielik to Arsenal is all but completed and by some stage this weekend we'll possibly get confirmation of it. Although we all know that Arsenal like to tease us by eeking out a transfer announcement, so don't be surprised if it doesn't happen until the middle of [...]
As we lurch ever closer to this weekend's game against Moneychester City, the build up is already beginning by the media online, talking up 'classics' and how this weekend's game will compare to encounters between the two games. I have to say I don't really remember too many 'classics', if I'm honest, because we were [...]
So, Yaya's Sanogone then, eh? (I'm afraid that's the best you'll get from me first thing on a Wednesday morning) A loan move to Crystal Palace sees our much maligned young centre forward get an opportunity for more game time by playing for the guy who loves a Frenchman, Alain Pardieux. It's a good move [...]
