I must process to you, dear friend, that when Wojciech Szczesny first started to break into the Arsenal team, I thought we had a goalkeeper for life, if not at least the next ten years. He appeared to have all of the correct attributes to make it as one of the best. He was at [...]
We're on a countdown to a cup final week this weekend, which has been made a little easier thanks to the Bank Holiday in England, because it means a shorter working week. The day off also enabled me to fill my Monday with all manner of things to do, which meant I didn't have to [...]
Well that's it for the Premier League for another season and what a way to finish the season. A hat trick from an unexpected source, a wonder goal for Jack that hijacks goal of the season by Arsenal fans (don't you just love our club's online presence?) on Match of the Day, as well as [...]
Happy Saturday to you and your kin. My weekend started early due to some annual leave I've been soaking in for the last few days, but at least there's been some football - albeit some pretty semi-shocking football on Wednesday - to keep me busy. I've been through my thoughts on the midweek action and [...]
A little holiday away from work awaits yours truly here after today's London grind, so apologies if the timing of the blogs get a little wayward, a bit like a loose Fabregas kick into the centre of a group of players inside a penalty box I suppose. What a bit of madness that was, eh? [...]
Yesterday's proverbial 'game of two halves' gave us just what we needed - enough to effectively secure third on Wednesday night with one of two outcomes - but more importantly, showed a bit more resilience than I have seen in an Arsenal team at Old Trafford for a long time, FA Cup game a couple [...]
Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off. Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]
The phrase 'let your football do the talking' has never been more obvious than after a defeat like Monday's one to Swansea, because the website is littered with post match fallout from Wenger, Wilshere and Mertesacker. It's kind of funny actually, because in the last six weeks or so there's been practically nothing from the [...]
After the winning streak that we've had in the last couple months, I find myself somewhat at a difficult place, because for all the criticism that I want to give the manager for what I believe we're totally the wrong tactics to deploy against a Swansea team who came for a point and went home [...]
Liverpool's draw with Chelski mathematically secured the top four for us yesterday, but on a day where QPR were supposed to be giving it the last hurrah by at least holding Momeychester City to a draw at he Etihad, I was expecting better than a 6-0 thrashing. For us, in terms of trying to get [...]
