So Arsène's presser delivered an update on the much anticipated Coquelin injury situation yesterday and, perhaps having been burnt too many times with incorrect prognoses before, the manager was reluctant to give an exact timeframe on Le Coq's return. He said it would certainly be more than a month, and would most likely be more [...]
The team news from Arsène will be revealed at some point today ahead of the Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb, but there's only one real piece of news we're all nervously awaiting: the immediate fate of Francis Coquelin. Perhaps foolishly, I pushed myself in to believing that it would not be as bad as [...]
Where to even begin with the shower of the proverbial that we witnessed from Arsenal yesterday, eh? I mean seriously, I have no idea where to even start. Nothing went right. We played terribly. Then, even with most of the 90 minutes of tripe we had to sit through, we still get handed a lifeline [...]
Please forgive me if I end up jinxing the outcome of today's game, but this match today feels very much like the Swansea game of a few weeks ago, in which we had some very difficult moments but ended up winning comfortably away in South Wales. I'm not saying that I think we'll win today [...]
Thank R.Kelly it's Friday. I'm certainly ready for the weekend I can tell you. A bit of booze, lie-ins and more importantly, The Arsenal. I suspect Arsène and his charges will be making their way up to some West Midlands based hotel today at some stage, because he got his presser out of the way [...]
If Thursday truly is the 'new Friday', then I shall embrace it like a sibling I am very fond of, for it brings us one day closer to the weekend and Arsenal. And with Arsène most likely to have his presser this morning, we'll also begin the countdown to the West Brom game in earnest [...]
As the French national anthem belted out in Wembley stadium last night, I could not help but be proud of the fact that through such unspeakable acts of violence, people can come together to show solidarity in support of the French people. It was lovely to see two nations so often opposed as we and [...]
With the friendly game to take place at Wembley tonight most probably being the centre of attention for most of the world and its media, it is perhaps inevitable that from an Arsenal perspective there is some involvement. I suspect we'll see Giroud and Koscienly take their place in the team at some point, whilst [...]
Decided to take a few days away from blogging over the weekend. With what happened on Friday night, which I found out about on Saturday morning, totally took me away from any thoughts of writing. I had my parents over for the weekend and as we watched the news on Saturday morning, it didn't even [...]
Nothing is fun about this morning for me. Yes it's Friday, for which I am thankful, but that I drag myself in to work after a boozy night in which I needed to be at a work function, supporting an organisations awards in which my company get involved in, is particularly vexing for me this [...]
