Yesterday's proverbial 'game of two halves' gave us just what we needed - enough to effectively secure third on Wednesday night with one of two outcomes - but more importantly, showed a bit more resilience than I have seen in an Arsenal team at Old Trafford for a long time, FA Cup game a couple [...]
United at Old Trafford. A game in which historically has had extreme significance, but in very recent times has not been as intense as the early Arsene Wenger years. Neither side is competing for the league for one thing, which inevitably results in a reduction of the pressure, but at least both teams have something [...]
Very quick rant: when do you ever see such an over-reaction to a player leaving a club like Steven Gerrard? He's been a wonderful player for Liverpool, but the fact every manager in the Premier League has been asked a question about him, the fact there has been interviews everywhere on his story, as well [...]
Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off. Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]
After the winning streak that we've had in the last couple months, I find myself somewhat at a difficult place, because for all the criticism that I want to give the manager for what I believe we're totally the wrong tactics to deploy against a Swansea team who came for a point and went home [...]
Regardless of where any bodies political allegiances lie after the UK general election, for a big chunk of Arsenal fans, they'd probably have given up voting rights for the most important ballot success this week: the FA Cup Final ticket allocation allowance today. Good luck to all of you who are in it to win [...]
Much like Easter, I do prefer it when St Totterigham's Day is bought forward in the calendar, as it enables us to enjoy it more I think. It was nice for the authorities to see fit to grant a national bank holiday in honour of the occasion. I spent my St Totteringham's Day in the [...]
Today the good lord Bergkamp could see fit to bless upon us the day of St Totteringham, in which we celebrate the mathematical certainty that Arsenal will finish above the other team in North London in the Premier League. Ideally a draw yesterday coupled with an Arsenal win would have made this weekend just about as good [...]
With all the hubbub surrounding our win against Burnley, followed by the hope killed by another Chelski scabbing of three points at the hands of a goalkeeper, I haven't even thought about the defeat of the Spuds to an Aston Villa team managed by Mr Gilet and all-round footballing genius Tim Sherwood. Super Timmy's charges [...]
What's all this talk about Jack Wilshere then, eh? As I trudged my way home from work yesterday evening, stopping only momentarily to offer a cursory nod of thanks to the free newspaper dispenserer, I noticed that the back pages were partially awash with talk about Wilshere possibly facing an exit from Arsenal with Juventus, Man [...]
