This morning The Management asked if I thought Arsenal would win today. Usually I can give her a decent enough response based on what my gut is telling me, but today I simply couldn't, because quite frankly I have no idea. Two words keep reverberating around in my head: In theory. In theory we should [...]
To get my football fix every day, I usually have a quick peruse of a number of sites, including Sky Sports. But over the years the number of sites that i 'trust' to deliver information that isn't clickbaity has diminished. So can you imagine my disappointment when a non-Arsenal fan came to me in the [...]
So what news from the front line, aka the official site, ahead of this weekend's round of football? We'll certainly find out today at some stage as Arsène - clearly wanting the pain of a press conference out of the way as quickly as possible by doing it today - takes to the microphones to [...]
I know for the last few days I've been talking about wanting change and the predictability of Arsenal's latest season petering out, but I feel like I've noticed something that's a little different from the press, which is the increased volume of 'who replaces Wenger?' articles that appear to be swilling around. I don't know [...]
Ok, I'm out of phase one: anger, and having successfully navigated phase two: depression. Today, in terms of Arsenal, I've hit 'acceptance'. I am accepting of where we are as a club and what we have. It's a much nicer place to be in terms of my blood pressure, that's for sure. With 'acceptance' comes [...]
You still reeling? Or are you a stage ahead of me in our title challenge and are now in the 'acceptance' phase that probably, in reality, the title was never on. Damn Leicester, eh? Damn them not because they lost to United yesterday, but because they sewed a seed of hope in pretty much every [...]
I don't even know where to begin this morning. In fact, I almost don't want to begin, because after what I witnessed yesterday the malaise I have over the football club I love and support has almost completely enveloped me. I'm even at the stage where I've thought to myself that whilst the title was [...]
The life of an Arsenal fan is a life which is lived on an emotional rollercoaster. It's like being in the Grand old Duke of York's army; when we're up we're up, then when we're down we're really down. On Wednesday morning, having been 'up' since Sunday, we were promptly marched down, which given to [...]
I don't know whether it's because it's Friday, or because it's my annual company conference today in which I've been involved in a lot of prep and so therefore am quite excited about the fact that the stresses of it are almost over, but I don't feel as much of a neg towards Arsenal this [...]
I'm still struggling to properly rectify the decision-making of the manager this morning, after the debacle that was Tuesday night, but not really because of his team selection. As I said yesterday, I could kind of understand why Giroud might start, but in hindsight he should have stuck with a pacey front three to unsettle [...]
