Well I must say I thoroughly enjoyed parts of yesterday's game. I say 'parts' because the ridiculous nature of the games being played at 6pm in away ties means that I was just finishing work as the match kicks off. I can also assure you that attempting to watch the game whilst hurtling along a [...]
It's a trip to Belarus this evening for Arsène Wenger and his charges, as Arsenal line up against BATE Borisov and I think it's fair to say that with all the will in the world, this isn't a game in which we should be seeing too many players who will play on Sunday at noon. [...]
I wanted to broach a topic today that I sort of touched upon yesterday, relating to both Özil and Alexis and of course, there inevitable departures in either January or more likely May next year. I think the first of the contract rebels of the modern era was Flamini. I'm sure others will put me [...]
A win to set the week off is always a good thing. A win with a clean sheet is also very delightful. A win I. Which your star striker bags a brace is also something to savour. So on a relatively balmy night in North London yesterday evening, I'm pleased that it's just what was [...]
After a weekend in which every other Premier League team got their chance to showcase what they've got in their side, its us and West Brom tonight who face off against each other, in a fixture in which few will surely want in terms of timings. Let's face it - Monday night football is fun [...]
Howdy folks. Whatcha been up to this weekend? You certainly haven't been filling it with Arsenal delight because we're the Monday night crew which, whilst cool because it starts your working week off with some football, is also a little ducky because it means you have to sit through every other team. And what we [...]
Not content with a lie in after Thursday night's squad rotation game against Doncaster, Arsène was back in to London Colney yesterday to give his pre-match presser to those bleary-eyed hacks who had travelled in following their deadlines for copy the night before. First and foremost came the team news and it's a good job [...]
I wouldn't have described yesterday's victory against Doncaster Rovers as 'thrilling'. Nor would I put it down as 'comprehensive'. It was certainly a win and safe passage to the fourth round against Norwich at The Emirates, but it was hardly a humdinger of a cup tie, was it? As expected Arsène rotated his whole team [...]
It's the super-awesome-mega-important-one-you-definitely-want-to-win cup tonight! You know the one I mean. They named it after a Thai goat or something. The one where the draw is done in the middle of the Himalayas so that the Asian fans don't have to get up so early, because that's a really important draw for them to see, [...]
Poor old Welbz. If what is to be believed from the The Telegraph yesterday, it could mean a month on the sidelines for a player who it's fair to say, has had the most unlucky time with injuries since signing. It's almost as if joining Arsenal condemned a fit player to some kind of injury [...]
