Football can’t always be free flowing, exhilarating, dominant with goals galore. Football is often a low scoring sport and even some of the best Arsenal teams I’ve ever witnessed have had some pretty drab affairs. So having sat through an unimpressive 1-0 win over a less than average FC Zurich side yesterday in the passenger [...]
Yesterday I had a lot of fun. Hella fun. And it all started with The Arsenal. I’ve never got up at 6am, trudged across town, got to an Arsenal bar to watch the game at 7am before, but if the result could be the same as what we got yesterday at home to Forest, then [...]
In San Francisco at the moment so if you are a regular reader of these here ramblings you’ll know it’s going to be a little random and sporadic when I post, as well as being at random times compared to what I normally do. Being away and busy has taken my mind off of The [...]
This evening could very well see Arsenal secure top spot in the Europa League Group stages with a win or a draw against PSV in Eindhoven and with Arsenal looking a little leggy at the weekend as a result of the volume of games (in my opinion), the game must represent somewhat of a conundrum [...]
Decided to Google 'Arsenal news' this morning to see what the chatter was online. Wish I hadn't have bothered. It was all talk about potential transfer signings in January. I mean, come on, we're still in October for Christ's sake. Talking about potential signings now is like when supermarkets start putting Christmas items on the [...]
There's no doubt that this morning there will be plenty of frustrated Gooners waking up and slightly stewing on the result that we had yesterday at St Mary's against Southampton. After last season where we lost with pretty much their only attempt at goal, yesterday afternoon's game was one that I thought we would see [...]
With some more results yesterday going our way (Liverpool loss to Norwich and Chelsea and United dropping points), the opportunity for Arsenal to go even further from the chasing pack - City aside - in the Champions League spaces, is clear and obvious today. It’s a trip to a ground that has hardly been a [...]
Happy Saturday you wonderful people. It might be an Arsenal-less one, but hopefully you can find enough enjoyable other things in your life to have a good one nonetheless. The good news from an Arsenal perspective today is that Gabriel - the big one at centre half - confirmed that he’s signed a new deal [...]
Just after the final whistle had blown last night I described the 1-0 win over PSV as a ‘3-0 win masquerading as a 1-0’ and the more and more I’ve thought about it, the more this feels like exactly what Arsenal delivered yesterday. We were totally dominant from start to finish and probably deserved two [...]
It's match day, it's p*ssing it down, but I'm as excited as always to have The Arsenal playing this evening. Sure, it may be at a slightly irritating time - what with it being a 6pm kick off and therefore straight after work, but it is still an Arsenal match and that means hopefully an [...]
