If I was to try to to do the keyword tagging and search engine optmisation of the Arsenal team manifested in physical form today, the one word I would lace throughout any team talk or mindset or thoughts going through each players mind would be: concentration, non-complacency. These are the two things that we must [...]
There's still another three days before Matchday is upon us and, perhaps unsurprisingly, all is quiet. So quiet, that talk about Cazorla wanting to return to Spain has seen a ripple of interest across the tinternet. Santi grew up near Real Oviedo and has said he'd like to go back there one day before he [...]
Today's game is certainly an interesting one. One the one hand you have an Arsenal team in a rich vein of form, coupled with a Burnley team in 19th position and having scored just 14 goals all season.But on the other hand you had an Arsenal team that have made a nasty little habit of [...]
What a glorious day I have awoken to in my London suburb. The sun is shining, The Arsenal are riding the crest of a form-inspiring run, Arsène has the pick of the sweet shop with his selection choices ahead of our trip to Burnley.Even Koscienly might be back for the game. Laurent Koscienly who limped [...]
What's all this talk about Jack Wilshere then, eh? As I trudged my way home from work yesterday evening, stopping only momentarily to offer a cursory nod of thanks to the free newspaper dispenserer, I noticed that the back pages were partially awash with talk about Wilshere possibly facing an exit from Arsenal with Juventus, Man [...]
Happy Easter Saturday in which let's all be completely honest with each other, unless we get a win this lunchtime, won't make this festive season a fun one.Liverpool come to town and it's a Liverpool team in which Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana will no doubt have miraculously recovered from the injuries that conveniently left [...]
Match day today and a 3pm kick off too. That's two weekend's in a row. The TV companies obviously have forgotten about Arsenal in the league. Good, hopefully we'll get more of that. Well, I say good, but I'm actually a little cheesed off about this fixture, because I normally go up north to see [...]
Arsene's presser started with the bad news about Gabriel being out for three weeks, but injuries in an Arsenal squad - especially the infamous 'three weeks' ones - are as par of the course as an Arsenal player, as the new inductee song in front of the playing staff. It's a shame for Gabriel because [...]
I don't know why, but yesterday's game with Crystal Palace felt like a really big result, in the context of our Premier League season. There were many people I spoke to during the week who were pretty convinced that we were going to go to Selhurst Park and sweep aside a Palace side who have [...]
So we're back in league action today and it's a tricky game at Selhurst park in which the media seem to be all voting for us as their picks for victories this weekend. It's nice to know what supposed 'neutrals' think when looking at games and who should win, but as usual I'm not as [...]
