Arsenal are a funny old team, eh? After labouring in the North London Derby, then huffing and puffing against a Leicester team with bodies behind the ball, they faced a confident Middlesbrough team and simply swotted them aside yesterday. I have to hold my hands up and admit I didn't see that coming. I assumed [...]
FA Cup Sunday. We're getting used to this, aren't we? That, and stupid non-traditional kick off times, coupled with having to pay for two subscriptions. This weekend I've wanted to watch a bit of FA Cup action and without BT Sport on my TV, I've been limited to Match of The Day. It'll only get [...]
So. Ermmm. The 7th of Feb wasn't great was it. BUT THE 10TH WAS. SO LETS TALK ABOUT THAT INSTEAD *weeps uncontrollably* It's incredible how quickly football changes. How your outlook on things can be quickly reversed with the swing of someone's boot. I've decided in the last few days that at least 40% of [...]
Regardless of the 95 odd minutes that ensued last night, if you can't enjoy the fact that three points were secured and the team got back to winning ways with a win against Leicester, then you need to have a think about taking up something new to fill the void where football once was in [...]
No time for losing ourselves in a metaphorical cave of melancholy made by a weekend derby defeat, as it's bottom of the league Leicester who make their way to The Emirates this evening. It's a game that you'd say should be the perfect type of match for us to play in such quick succession after [...]
I don't really feel like writing today's blog. I'm almost doing it this Sunday morning, purely out of habit rather than desire, because I feel like just forgetting yesterday's match even happened. The second that Harry Kane second goal went in, I got up from the heavily weighted Spud pub that I was in, walked [...]
I know I may be jinxing us all into a horrible afternoon and subsequent evening, should defeat befall The Arsenal this lunchtime, but having looked at the probable line ups today through a couple of sources, this is a Totteringham team that we really should be beating. We should have already served them up a [...]
At the weekend we managed to chalk up our fifth consecutive win, albeit against a very Pony and Trap Aston Villa side, so it would be very churlish to poo-poo your side when they score five (sexy) goals against a fellow premier league team. We've come up against equally poor sides and not given them [...]
I was in a good mood at the start of the weekend. I still kinda am, actually, but there's a few things that have made me ever-so-slightly 'harrumph' in the last 24 hours, if I'm honest. The first was upon listening to the always excellent Arsecast, in which I heard that Antony Taylor will be [...]
It's Ben today giving his thoughts on last weekend and the FA Cup in general. I'll be back tomorrow with a dissection of what Arsène said in his pre-villa presser. Chris We've been told in recent weeks that The FA Cup has been becoming secondary and it's losing it's appeal. Last weekend begged to differ. [...]
