I wouldn't have described yesterday's victory against Doncaster Rovers as 'thrilling'. Nor would I put it down as 'comprehensive'. It was certainly a win and safe passage to the fourth round against Norwich at The Emirates, but it was hardly a humdinger of a cup tie, was it? As expected Arsène rotated his whole team [...]
It's the super-awesome-mega-important-one-you-definitely-want-to-win cup tonight! You know the one I mean. They named it after a Thai goat or something. The one where the draw is done in the middle of the Himalayas so that the Asian fans don't have to get up so early, because that's a really important draw for them to see, [...]
Poor old Welbz. If what is to be believed from the The Telegraph yesterday, it could mean a month on the sidelines for a player who it's fair to say, has had the most unlucky time with injuries since signing. It's almost as if joining Arsenal condemned a fit player to some kind of injury [...]
Yesterday evening I didn't get to watch the game as I was out with The Management doing other things; like enjoying myself. I think it's fair to say I've dodged a bullet on that one because by all accounts, it didn't make for fun viewing and had I spent some of my hard-earned cash to [...]
Bloody heck it's freezing today. Frost on the cars, family jewels heading north, it's one of those days you want to be on holiday with a log fire and nothing but which crappy 80s movie to watch next. Certainly not on a tube heading in to London for a shift at 7am. Plus, I don't [...]
Today Tony Adams hits the grand old age of 50 and I've got to tell you, it makes me feel old, because I vividly remember him as the rock of our defence, so to here him hit his half century makes me feel a little bit worn. I remember him charging through the middle of [...]

When it comes to football, I like to think of every conceivable way in which Arsenal can gain an advantage, against every current and future opponent. Which is why I always look out for upcoming opposition matches, to see if there is any injuries, suspensions, or even poor form that I can hold on hope [...]
I managed to squeeze my way in to the ground yesterday for the League Cup game against Reading, but only after I'd queued to get a paper ticket printed (the one minute it took to print the ticket set me back a cool additional 'admin' charge - I'd love to earn that kind of money [...]
I think I've said this before, but I do like going to the League Cup games, because to me they represent an Arsenal match with less pressure and worry than a usual league game. Or FA Cup game. Or Champions League match. It's an opportunity to see a few of the rotated players in action [...]
