Morning folks - hope you're all well? Haven't been behind my computer since Wednesday last week, as I was holidaying in Rome and eating way too much pasta and pizza to think about penning thoughts whilst away on my travels, but am back behind my laptop today for a first day back at work and [...]
I feared last night's game. I feared the intensity of Palace, I feared them hitting us on the counter, I feared the pressure getting to our players, I feared that one or two sub par performances could cause us issues. We didn't get one or two though. We got a full 11 poor performances. Last [...]
Well we're rounding the corner of the interlull and by golly, hasn't this felt like a longer than usual one, eh? It really has dragged on and I for one cannot wait until the weekend. Actually, scrap that, I cannot wait for next Monday, because that is when The Arsenal play. I went for my [...]
Howdy folks and welcome to another working week. Monday's are always made a little more easier after The Arsenal get a win and despite the fact that the Scum also beat West Ham to move to within three points of us, I am still in confident enough and happy enough mood. Don't get me wrong, [...]
If you have read my ramblings for long enough you'll know me well enough by now to know that I try my hardest to not really focus on other teams in my daily musings. They are of little interest to me and besides, nobody really wants to come to an Arsenal blog and talk about [...]
I'm going to stray in to territory where I'm not exactly 100% comfortable or an expert in today. This is my disclaimer to let you know that what I'm now about to say is based on my opinion and so is both open to interpretation, bias, as well as potential factual inaccuracy, although if so [...]
It was a shame that Wolves couldn't at least muster a draw against West Ham yesterday, but if I'm going to look at the up side, it means a bit more daylight between us and them, with us five points clear of Wolves with two games in hand. West Ham knocked us out of fifth [...]
Can we have a quick chat about referees? I feel I read blogs, watch videos and listen to podcasts of Arsenal fans, with all of us collectively having to repeat the phrase "Now, this isn't a conspiracy, but..." as a caveat when we speak about referees. We have to qualify any statement before going in [...]
That was a big, BIG, result last night for The Arsenal. Make no mistake about it, it was hard fought, hard earned and even with a fair dose of perceived injustice for us, that felt like it could potentially have a bearing on our season. If somehow we manage to keep our best players on [...]
Yesterday we finally heard from Aubameyang after his move to Barcelona was signed, sealed and delivered to the people of Catalonia, with the striker opening up about his exit. As you'd expect it was all his variation of the events that unfolded, but he didn't tell us too much in terms of what went down, [...]
