The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
So it's the first game of our Champions League campaign for this season and I have to say, it feels nice not having to say that in August, knowing that we are going through a two legged affair just to progress to the group stages proper. But before I go on about The Arsenal, I [...]
Although I didn't bother to watch any of the international games on yesterday, I have had a quick look at which of the games included key Arsenal players and, after a quick glance online, it appears everybody is safe. For now. By all accounts, Mesut Ozil sounds like he had an effective game for Germany [...]
Completing the most awesomest of weekend fixtures not involving Arsenal yesterday, Manchester United's defeat to Swansea means that aside from an all-conquering Moneychester City (I'll come to them in a bit), we pretty much clawed back ground on any of the 'big' clubs that we dropped points to by losing to West Ham on the [...]
It just simply wouldn't be an Arsenal result if we didn't make something harder than it should have been, would it? The overwhelming feeling from this here Gooner is one of relief, but also thanks to other results, the 1-0 victory over Newcastle looked even more juicier come 7.30pm. Defeats to Chelski and Liverpool, as [...]

Not for the first time this season Liverpool were the beneficiaries of yet more dodgy officiating, yet for the first time this season, we were the beneficiaries of a superb Petr Cech display. Which would probably be the story of the game if you asked me to describe it in a paragraph or less. The [...]
With Chelski and City both picking up the wins that I expected they would yesterday, it adds a wee bit more pressure on us to perform this evening against a Liverpool team who will be buoyed by their own results, if not the way in which they played in those games. Liverpool represent a serious [...]
Today is a very important game. Today The Arsenal need three points, because only then will we all breathe a sigh of relief and start talking about the possibility that last weekend's defeat to West Ham was a 'blip' and this Arsenal team can challenge for the league. Quite simply: Premier League winners don't lose [...]
Hello hello you wonderful peers of mine. I hope you're not too caught up in your own inner torment and moroseness as we hit the halfway point in the week. The bad taste of a weekend defeat may still be lingering like a little morning breath (despite having brushed your teeth to within an inch [...]
