You know how the phrase 'the calm before the storm' relates to something bad about to happen? Well I hope that today's complete dearth of anything interesting Arsenal-related does not follow the same path, because there is right now, literally nothing worth talking about. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in transfer guff at [...]
Being an Arsenal fan has always been a rollercoaster of emotion, but right now at this moment in time, it feels like we're going through some kind of extreme. After our victory against Everton on Saturday, Leicester followed it up by scraping by a pretty poor Palace side, whilst the Spuds swept away a Bournemouth [...]
Yesterday's defeat of Chelski at the hands of Everton adds some more gloss to the possbility of winning the FA Cup and with United and West Ham due to play after we have lined up against Watford, the world's oldest footballing knockout competition now carries added significance, going in to today's game at The Emirates. [...]
I need you to do something for me over the next few days. I need you to not get your hopes up too much about United being fatigued when they play us on Sunday. Yes, yes, yes, I know they have a lot of injuries at the moment, which is forcing them in to very [...]
It's another matchday, another FA Cup round, another early kick off and another game against Hull City. Anything feel a bit, y'know, familiar to you? Perhaps it's a good omen. After all, in the last two years, when we've beaten Hull City in the cup, we've 100% guaranteed ourselves a trophy. So a win today [...]
Can I admit to having an opinion that I have had for some time, that I find suddenly wavering in the light of some new evidence that I've come across? I've long held the belief that Olivier Giroud gets a hard time by a section of our fanbase. He's just not some peoples cup of [...]
So here we are. We've arrived at the biggest game of the season for Arsenal and unlike anyone would have predicted, it's a home match against Leicester. That could very well define our season. We've all been talking about it all week with friends, family, people we know online, people at work, Arsenal fans and [...]
In this - quite frankly mad - season, it seems strange that with us eight points from the top of the league, there still remains hope. But Leicester's win at the Etihad has done exactly that, strangely, because if it was City, Chelski or United that had just established such an assailable lead, we would [...]
So after all the hype, all the over-the-top Sky Sports blustering, all of the pomp and everything being turned yellow, the transfer deadline day (no, I'm not capitalising it) turned out to be what it is every season: an exercise in how to get overexcited. I've got to tell you, I was glad we weren't [...]
There's something comforting about a good, old-fashioned, 3pm FA Cup tie, isn't there? It's quintessentially English, I find, with bad weather normally thrown in to the mix too. We've certainly ticked all of today's boxes, as well as a a game against a lower league opposition in Burnley, who will probably be a Premier League [...]
