Today feels like the first proper 'lully' day from a football perspective this summer. Before the World Cup there was build up but also we had the change in Arsenal manager, the swift arrivals of players and the feeling that this summer we actually have a 'plan' to the signings that are being made, followed [...]
I spend a lot of my time trying to convince The Management - and probably myself as well - that I don't really care about England or international football. And I suppose for the most part that's true; I don't tend to watch the friendlies, I won't make sure I'm near a TV when the [...]
In this past week I've talked about the importance of momentum, about how when we've even been anywhere near the top of the league at any stage, it's been because we've had a good start to the season and that has carried through until at least the midway point. Yesterday I talked about it being [...]
Yesterday my blog featured a few words and a picture of Joel Campbell, speculating that it's a clean slate for many and that players like Joel might think they have a chance with the new man at the helm, but having watched him in bits and pieces of yesterday's Costa Rica game against England I [...]
Morning folks. It was a bank holiday yesterday in the UK and as a result I simply couldn't be arsed to drag my sorry carcass out of bed to write a blog. But also there was a dearth of news that is available on Arsenal and so I just figured 'meh'. Then yesterday afternoon I [...]
On Wednesday we got ourselves a new manager confirmed and it's no surprise given what we now know about him that he's been at the training ground and going hardcore on swotting up on everything about the club. Meeting all the backroom staff, having a quick chat with Kos, starting to get an idea on [...]
Happy Friday to all, the first in the reign of Head Coach Emery, first of his name. We've seen he's now at the training ground taking it all in, wandering around and obviously introducing himself to all of the trees that only this time last week we had Arsène Wenger saying goodbye to individually. I [...]
Morning folks. Hope you're feeling good today, with just four days remaining until the start of the season, in which I've got to be honest it has absolutely flown by. I've rather enjoyed my time off. I'm not quite chomping at the bit yet though; probably because I'm unsure what to make of this Arsenal [...]
Victory in the 'Jose Treble' cup assured yesterday, our second trophy of pre season and a cast iron GUARANTEE that we will win the league, league cup, FA Cup and Europa League, all without dropping any points or conceding any goals. Or not. Before the game we were all clear that you can't read too [...]
It's Community Shield day today and although I'll be out and unlikely to be able to watch it, I'll be keeping a close eye on the game, because it is the final dress rehearsal before the real stuff next week. It'll be a tough game today. Chelsea will be ready for us and I am [...]
