Has there ever been a more comfortable and one-sided final? Have we ever seen Arsenal do it the easy away in a big game, with such verve and vigour? Does this happen to us? Arsenal are supposed to make our lives difficult, aren't they? Apparently not. Apparently there is an 'easy way' and all we [...]

Exploit the width against Hull's formation

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 [...]

Context more frustrating than the result

On the face of it, with the other results which all went in our favour this weekend barring Moneychester City, a draw against the eventual champions isn't the worst result in the world. However, as I find myself composing my thoughts the morning after the game, I can't help but be somewhat frustrated with the [...]

horrendous scenes in Italy and Mesut's high midi-chlorian count

If you could have written a more horrible ending to an England match, would it have been far off from seeing a host of Totteringham players celebrating a goal from the nation with which you were born? That's what I and many other English-born Arsenal fans had to endure last night, as Andros 'The Saviour' [...]

stern test importantly navigated

That, like Crystal Palace before it two weeks ago, felt like a big three points yesterday. There will undoubtedly be those that will look at the score line and simply shrug it off with  an "it was only QPR", but we were made to sweat a bit for those three points, both in the first [...]

Palace: negate the pace out wide and play the more technically gifted

So we're back in league action today and it's a tricky game at Selhurst park in which the media seem to be all voting for us as their picks for victories this weekend. It's nice to know what supposed 'neutrals' think when looking at games and who should win, but as usual I'm not as [...]

Santi or Alexis: player of the season so far?

Chelski, eh? A deplorable club with a racist captain and selection of racist fans. But did we expect anything else? It's like somebody telling you that politicians don't always tell the truth. No sh*t Sherlock. Anyway, the less time spent on that odious team the better, so let's talk about something I've been thinking about [...]

Boro: A tight encounter with concentration key

FA Cup Sunday. We're getting used to this, aren't we? That, and stupid non-traditional kick off times, coupled with having to pay for two subscriptions. This weekend I've wanted to watch a bit of FA Cup action and without BT Sport on my TV, I've been limited to Match of The Day. It'll only get [...]
