So we're two games in to the new season and already the hope and sporations of a new season appear to be in the sh*thouse, after a performance that seemed vintage Arsenal 2011 - 2016. Once again it was Stoke, once again we fell apart defensively, once again there are questions about the manager's decisions, [...]
Match day two for The Arsenal and it's that usually most feared of trips to Stoke that we have to intend with later on this evening. I think I speak for everyone when I say that this is one of those games that you just don't look forward to. I think it's because there's always [...]
Arsène's doing his press conference in just over an hour from when I start writing today's Wednesday blog. It's the first time I can remember him having a Wednesday press conference ahead of a Premier League game on the Saturday and I can only conclude one of the following: He wants to get on the [...]
Well that was just flipping bizarre. How do you analyse that game last night? How can you make any kind of assessment that makes any kind of sense of what transpired yesterday evening, then use it to work out whether we're basically in the sh*t this season, or whether we'll be alright? I guess the [...]
Well that's one shiny and oh so important trophy safely tucked away in the cabinet for another season, as Arsenal conspired to lose to Sevilla but still win the Emirates Cup due to the bizarre system of points scoring based on goals that is in place. The 2-1 defeat to Sevilla saw us pick up [...]
It's the Friday calm before the 'storm' ahead of another pre season tour game tomorrow against that horrible lot from West London tomorrow. Like we didn't see enough of them last season. Now we have to deal with them in the summer too. And their fans will be extra buoyed by the Morata signing, which [...]
Aaaand we're off for pre season with some actual football to speak of! Yessir, yesterday Arsenal played against Sydney FC and its was a decent line up in both halves, with just a smattering of young players who ended up being some of the more interesting talking points it seems. Of course everyone's going to [...]
They're in Australia, they're posing for pictures and soon they'll be running out on to the turf for the first game of the summer, which means that yep, pre season is well and truly underway. Which means the new season is officially on countdown. Lacazette has been pictured training and Arsène has confirmed that he [...]
In the words of the late Freddie Mercury, "its finally happened, its finally happened..." Yep, Alexandre Lacazette is finally a Gooner, with the first major signing of the season complete and I don't know about you but I am happy and relieved that we've moved so quickly to do this. No mess, no fuss, no [...]
Alright? Wednesday. Middle of the week territory. Far away from either the good memories of last weekend or the hopeful ones of the weekend ahead. The only punctuation of real excitement there is can be had through football and in today's world we live in that means finding out the exact minute that Alexander Lacazette [...]
