Arsenal serve up the perfect Sunday lunch

I'm really liking the weekend's of football action in which we win, other teams at the top of the division drop points and momentum and high morale seem to be with us. I dared not to say it pre-game yesterday, but Aston Villa were the perfect team for us to play after a hard-earned qualification [...]

Villa preview: time to build momentum

Eugh...Christmas two-day benders...fun at the time but when you eventually wake up to smell the coffee, it ain't great, is it? That's where I'm at this morning, but if there's anything that can stir me from a day under the duvet, it's The Arsenal. A 1.30pm kick off away to Aston Villa on a weekend [...]

People listening to Mesut’s subtle undertones, Cech’s banging and Walcott’s buzz

There's so much to go through today, I don't even know where to start! How about the revelation that Cech's super-awesomeness and ability to make save-after-save appears to be entirely down to Rock Band, for which I'm sure the good folks at EA are delighted with, as they now have an angle for marketing in [...]

The great escape led by the charge of Campbell III

I've seen three different first team Campbell's in my time as an Arsenal supporter. Kevin was a decent forward, Sol was an immense centre half and now Joel, who I will admit I have been a clear sceptic of in the past, has stepped up in an important game and maybe what Arsène 'smelt' in [...]

Champions League rabbit out of a hat tonight, Arsenal?

Tonight is - if you believe Joel Campbell - the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. I get that, especially given that our Champions League future hinges on a 2-0 win or better score line, but whilst it might be important 'to date', I don't think we'll look back on it as [...]

One man must shine: Özil

We're about a day and a half away from beginning our Champions League knock-out match against Olympiakos and I for one, am excited. I'm excited because it really does all boil down to the performance on the night and for the first time in a few years of playing Olympiakos in Greece, the game actually [...]

Legislating for a lack of creatives isn’t easy at Arsenal

As far as weekend's go, in terms of our result and in context of results for other teams around us, we can all be quite happy with our lot this Monday morning as I type. Liverpool, City, United and the Spuds all dropped points. Sure, Leicester kept up their winning habits, but let's let them [...]

Arsenal make it hard work, but they do the business against the Mackems

That should have been a lot easier than it actually was, or looked like on paper, for those neutrals looking at their phones, papers, etc, on a Sunday morning and seeing how the match panned out. The truth behind the result is - as often is the case - a little different from what transpired [...]

No ifs, no buts, just three points please, Arsenal

Quite simply, this is a game in which Arsenal have to win, if we truly believe we have any shot at the title. Everyone's allowed a blip, it happens, but when the blip turns into a tidal wave of turgidness, then you're never getting near that shiny trinket with a gold crown on top. We've [...]

No news isn’t good news when it comes to Alexis and Santi

They'll be a press conference today, so I'll be fully expecting Arsène to stroll in, put his middle fingers up to the skies and declare that November can kiss his shiny white hide. After injuries and dropped points that really shouldn't have happened, he'll be keen to stress that we're still two from top spot [...]
