Yesterday's proverbial 'game of two halves' gave us just what we needed - enough to effectively secure third on Wednesday night with one of two outcomes - but more importantly, showed a bit more resilience than I have seen in an Arsenal team at Old Trafford for a long time, FA Cup game a couple [...]
United at Old Trafford. A game in which historically has had extreme significance, but in very recent times has not been as intense as the early Arsene Wenger years. Neither side is competing for the league for one thing, which inevitably results in a reduction of the pressure, but at least both teams have something [...]
Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off. Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]
The phrase 'let your football do the talking' has never been more obvious than after a defeat like Monday's one to Swansea, because the website is littered with post match fallout from Wenger, Wilshere and Mertesacker. It's kind of funny actually, because in the last six weeks or so there's been practically nothing from the [...]
After the winning streak that we've had in the last couple months, I find myself somewhat at a difficult place, because for all the criticism that I want to give the manager for what I believe we're totally the wrong tactics to deploy against a Swansea team who came for a point and went home [...]
Liverpool's draw with Chelski mathematically secured the top four for us yesterday, but on a day where QPR were supposed to be giving it the last hurrah by at least holding Momeychester City to a draw at he Etihad, I was expecting better than a 6-0 thrashing. For us, in terms of trying to get [...]
Regardless of where any bodies political allegiances lie after the UK general election, for a big chunk of Arsenal fans, they'd probably have given up voting rights for the most important ballot success this week: the FA Cup Final ticket allocation allowance today. Good luck to all of you who are in it to win [...]
It's Election Day here in the UK and with most of the country can't honestly tell the difference between the parties duking it out, the winner of this popularity contest will probably be the person with the greatest personality. Arsène Wenger for President people. It's quiet on the Arsenal front. Quieter than a fox in [...]
Securing the return of St Totteringham's Day milestone was just the start. Now we enter the crucial part of the season in which when we look back over the summer we either go 'this was the beginning of New Arsenal' or 'meh'. Progress has been made - the players all know that and have spoken [...]
Much like Easter, I do prefer it when St Totterigham's Day is bought forward in the calendar, as it enables us to enjoy it more I think. It was nice for the authorities to see fit to grant a national bank holiday in honour of the occasion. I spent my St Totteringham's Day in the [...]
