I love it when i worryingly look at the international fixtures to see who's played from Arsenal, who's been broken and who's coming back with a severed torso, only to find that our players just haven't played. It's delicious. So when I see that Nacho was an unused sub, that Hector isn't even in the [...]
I thought yesterday was the archetypal 'routine' win for Arsenal yesterday which, given how tired I was feeling after a heavy night of booze and karaoke followed by an early get up for The Arsenal, is no bad thing. One set piece free kick against the woodwork in the first half aside, we controlled possession [...]
Ahh man I feel roughered this morning. That's rough and knackered combined, kids. I had many a drink last night and at 2am remembered that the broadcasting companies have ruined football with their ridiculous kick offs. And now I'm not appreciating the karaoke I did in my kitchen with my mates. Not even in the [...]
It's a trip to Belarus this evening for Arsène Wenger and his charges, as Arsenal line up against BATE Borisov and I think it's fair to say that with all the will in the world, this isn't a game in which we should be seeing too many players who will play on Sunday at noon. [...]
I wanted to broach a topic today that I sort of touched upon yesterday, relating to both Özil and Alexis and of course, there inevitable departures in either January or more likely May next year. I think the first of the contract rebels of the modern era was Flamini. I'm sure others will put me [...]
A win to set the week off is always a good thing. A win with a clean sheet is also very delightful. A win I. Which your star striker bags a brace is also something to savour. So on a relatively balmy night in North London yesterday evening, I'm pleased that it's just what was [...]
After a weekend in which every other Premier League team got their chance to showcase what they've got in their side, its us and West Brom tonight who face off against each other, in a fixture in which few will surely want in terms of timings. Let's face it - Monday night football is fun [...]
I wouldn't have described yesterday's victory against Doncaster Rovers as 'thrilling'. Nor would I put it down as 'comprehensive'. It was certainly a win and safe passage to the fourth round against Norwich at The Emirates, but it was hardly a humdinger of a cup tie, was it? As expected Arsène rotated his whole team [...]
Before one delves in to the why's and wherefore's of yesterday's victory against Cologne, I suppose the most important thing to note is that Arsenal did indeed get the victory we needed, in the end. But by golly, wasn't it hard going for us, eh? The night started off pretty grim before kick off anyway, [...]
I decided to take yesterday off from blogging, on account of a half marathon on Sunday, finished off by a booze evening thereafter. Shall we say that I was a little 'groggy' the next morning so I fancied a lie in. Of course from an Arsenal perspective little happened, unless you count the stories of [...]
