I've got to be honest and tell you that the nerves have already started for tomorrow's North London Derby. It always starts at least two days before the actual game and by the time I reach the day before I'm already thinking about the potential outcomes, both positively and negatively. I make myself more nervous [...]
I'm really not sure what to make of yesterday's 5-1 hammering to Bayern Munich. I mean, obviously we played poorly and obviously our Champions League qualifications are hanging by the tiniest of threads, but it was a strange game because at times in the second half we looked good. Heck, Ollie G even weighed in [...]
Well didn't that all go according to plan, eh? As I suspected yesterday, Watford approached the game with the caution and solidity that you'd expect from a newly promoted side with a reputation building for compact defending and long balls to bring out of defence, so perhaps it was inevitable that the first half was [...]
I am the proud owner of an Arsenal season ticket. I pay the lowest possible amount you can pay for a season ticket, which is just over £1,000 per season, to which I have paid there or thereabouts for the last couple of years. Am I happy about having to fork out more than any [...]
Arsène Wenger has built has various Arsenal teams with key attributes that include technical quality, quick passing and movement and a precision in their play that - when it works - is breathtaking and what football should be all about. For the first 20 minutes of yesterday's game that is exactly what we were treated [...]
That, last night, was a disgrace. Everything was wrong about yesterday. The mangers decision to play Ospina, the lethargy in the team performance, the slow build up, all of it was appalling and I hope the players are having a serious word with themselves today. Before a goal was even scored, my colleagues for the [...]
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 [...]
What did we learn from yesterday's games? That plenty of teams will be as to compete with each other, and this season will be a tough one because of the money in the Premier League improving the quality of a lot of squads. Spuds drawing to Leicester, United being frustrated at home, this season is [...]
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 [...]
Alexis Sanchez will be a happy boy today, after chipping the winning penalty to see Chile win the Copa America, so after a season of somewhat success at Arsenal just gone (and I say 'somewhat' not because of his personal success, or the teams, but I get the feeling the squad are all happy with [...]
