Inspid was the first word that came to my mind after yesterday's display and I've already seen a number of Arsenal fans use it, so clearly I'm not alone in my view of how this Arsenal team failed again to show any kind of drive, any kind of belief and quite frankly looked like they [...]
Hello Saturday, my old friend, how are you feeling? Happy St George's Day to you, although you wouldn't really know it, what with nobody in England making a massive fuss over it. Or at least making it a national holiday. Hopefully well enough for you to grant me a relatively uneventful journey up to the [...]
Well wouldn't you know it, one minute you're an Arsenal fan thinking "season over, we won't win the league now", then the next minute Moneychester City have dispatched Chelski, Liverpool and City have a genuine chance of European league glory and suddenly the fourth place trophy doesn't even look like it might secure European football! [...]
Saturday's without football are like a car without wheels; fairly redundant and not exactly the most fun in the world. Today I'm going to see a mortgage adviser, get my hair cut, going for a run and then going to see my nan in hospital. I hate hospitals. But then I think about Abou and [...]
Mesut Özil is up for PFA player of the year. He's amongst a shortlist of five or six people - I didn't bother checking in much detail because I heard the only name I wanted to hear yesterday and his name was Mesut - and that he has made this list, I think is a [...]

So today we all wake up after Arsenal's title dreams unofficially died against West ham at Upton Park. Unlike Highbury, there was to be no 'last London derby game at ground' revenge we could extract on a very well organised West Ham team. Well, they were well organised for the second half, anyway. Because at [...]
An early kick off today means that in but a few hours, we will know if Arsenal's league title fate is all but over, or still flickering with life. A trip to Upton Park has rarely been so daunting: West Ham have dispatched nearly all of the top teams in the Premier League at home, [...]
It's Tuesday morning, I'm on my way into The Big Smoke, with the topic of conversation between myself and myself this morning being on false dawns and fabulous successes when it comes to young players. I can tell you one thing right now: I couldn't spot a superstar at a young age if I tried. [...]
Well, yesterday was a bit more fun, wasn't it? Four goals, dominant throughout, an Arsenal team with fluidity and movement and some very promising performances. Yessir, we can all be happy after a game like that, can't we? And yet, despite my pleasure at being able to actually watch Match of the Day yesterday evening, [...]
