I hate trotting out footballing cliches but, as I made my way home with the old man yesterday from The Emirates, it was hard to describe yesterday's win against Swansea as anything other than the proverbial 'game of two halves'. The first was one of laboured, predictable passing that had the inevitable sucker-punch from pretty [...]
I always get nervy when there are games like today. Hey, I'm an Arsenal fan, so I get nervy about pretty much every game these days, but I feel like games like today leave a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach and I don't really like it. its when the chips are so [...]
It’s a little difficult to say without having watched yesterday’s game in its entirety due to family commitments, but having watched a couple of highlights on yesterday’s 5-2 victory at Everton, I feel relatively confident in saying that it was the best performance of the season by the players up at Goodison. In fact, given [...]
A Saturday without The Arsenal always feels a little empty but, today, I’m kind of ok with it. I’m up north visiting The Management’s family ahead of an annual family meal tomorrow and although I am a traditionalist who would want for nothing more than every team playing at 3pm on a Saturday, I can’t [...]
Morning Gooners. Y’all alreet? It’s the Europa League for us tonight and it’s another away trip, this time to Red Star Belgrade, who feel like the sort of side you’d always have to play in computer games of the 80s and 90s in European competition. A former very decorated club, that name has drifted from [...]
As soon as the last gasp winner was thrashed home by Tom Cleverly to give Watford their first win at home against us in donkeys years, I switched off the TV, went in to the kitchen and finished making food. I then had a thoroughly enjoyable evening where football wasn't the topic of conversation for [...]
I don't really know what to make of tonight's game. There's part of me that looks at the form we were in before the international break and think that yes, we're on a good run and we should beat Watford, but even though that is the case there are a couple of nagging doubts I [...]
Morning folks. Lots of juicy Arsenal stuff to talk about today, so let's get right down to it, starting from where I left off yesterday which was that Arsène confirmed what Özil's agent said which was that talks were going well. of course we'd hardly expect the manager to say "it's a faaaaaacking shambles actually. We [...]
Morning all and welcome to a brand new Thursday. It's a Thursday in which contracts are the hot topic and top of the agenda and that's not least because of the tale of two contract undertones that sit behind the two big stories emanating from yesterday: Calum Chambers has signed a new deal Özil' agent [...]
Apparently it's not just Arsenal who are hit with the injury curse of the international break. Yesterday Sadio Mane was hit with the confirmation that he'll be out for six weeks for Liverpool. Devastating news for Liverpool. Although six weeks leaves him handily placed to return in mid December and have a couple of games [...]
