Morning folks and welcome to Wednesday. Having to go old school on the blog today, because the desktop version of the site seems to have gone down, so until that is up and running, I’m penning some thoughts from the iPhone, so please excuse the inevitable typos and predictive text change words in to other [...]
Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]
With Arsenal not playing until tomorrow afternoon, it is expected to be a quiet one from an Arsenal news perspective, I expect. Although because the team played on Thursday night in Lisbon, there will inevitably be some questions over some of the absentees for that game, because apparently there's been an illness bug going around [...]
Given that the away goals rule no longer counts for anything, a scoring draw away from home doesn't really mean as much as it used to, which is only annoying when your team has indeed bagged a score draw in the away leg. Of course with us not in the competition last year I didn't [...]
Obviously the vast proportion of today's blog is going to talk about The Arsenal, but it'd be mad for me not to mention the absolute humbling United got at Anfield yesterday by the hands of Liverpool. It's hilarious to see all of the United fans proclaiming the potential for a quadruple (not loads to be [...]
Wow. Wowsers. Wow-wee. Wowingtons. What a finish to a football match. That will live long in the memory. It will go down in Arsenal folklore. It will be seen by some as 'the moment' and in the context of this season, it could be huge for Arsenal, huge for this title race. When a game [...]
Happy Friday folks. How are we all doing? Do you know, with all of the joy of the Arsenal game on Wednesday, I completely forgot that there were FA Cup games going on and as a result I completely missed that the Scum got knocked out to Sheffield United. Hahaha. I remember ready a messaged [...]
After 30 minutes of the game yesterday I glanced over to the touchline. Sean Dyche was there in his technical box, stood still, arms folded, looking on. I couldn't see his face from where I sit, but I could make a pretty educated guess as to what the expression was: pleased. He'd sent his charges [...]
Happy match day folks. A midweek match day in the premier League. And what an opportunity we have that sits before us. An opportunity to go five points clear at the top. An opportunity for revenge against a side that beat us just a few short weeks ago. An opportunity for us to start saying [...]
Morning folks, how we all doing? Looking forward to tomorrow night's slugfest against Everton? Because let's face it, it will be a slugfest. It will be a gruelling, grinding, low-blocking, frustration of an evening as Everton try to double up on our wide forwards, they camp on the edge of their own box with bodies, [...]
