Now THAST is how you kick off a summer tour as a football club. Forget about the fact that the MLS All Stars have had just a few days of training together, forget about the fact that they are a composition of the best players from the American 'Soccer' League, this was an emphatic Arsenal [...]
In yesterday's blog I wrote about how I wanted Arsenal to lay down a marker in anticipation for next season. I referenced the first win of the Invincibles run, which was an end of season 6-1 hammering of Southampton and I said that I hoped that the lads would go out there and deliver a [...]
Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]
There are some days where I really just don't feel like writing about football or, specifically, about The Arsenal. Today my friends, is one of those days, for sure. I even fired up my laptop this morning and instead of logging on to the site and starting to type away, I started to go through [...]
When this season is finished and we all start to assess how it has gone, there will be loads of really positive things to say about Mikel Arteta’s side. Sure, we’ll probably have some regrets like the Everton game away, or that we didn’t make more of the Southampton at home (and away too, probably) [...]
Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]
Well, that’s that then, title done and the little hope we had of maybe ending our 19 year wait for a title has evaporated right in front of my very eyes at the Emirates on an utterly atrocious night - from a defensive point of view - for The Arsenal. Southampton had scored 24 goals [...]
Quite often when I write my daily ramblings I just start typing without really knowing what the title of the blog will be. Usually it just comes to me as I draw my final conclusions. But today is different in that I've started with the title and I'm working my way from there. That's because [...]
Todays ramblings from me will be a slightly different take on the 2-2 draw at Liverpool yesterday. That’s because I’m viewing it through the prism of not having watched the game, as I was with The Management’s family having an Easter dinner and so I physically couldn’t watch the game. But I did check in [...]
Ahh man am I hungover. I got to Highbury & Islington tube station at around 12.35 - about an hour earlier than I normally do - so I could watch the City versus Liverpool game. What a waste of time that was. I hope the Scousers are that rubbish when they play us, although I [...]
