Bit of a delayed post from me today. I booked meself off for a day of rest, relaxation and recuperation with the missus, after running a half marathon yesterday. These ageing limbs certainly can't do what they did ten years ago, I can tell you.The after effects of said marathon can also be felt in [...]

how big a factor will fatigue be?

It's West Ham today and I have to say, I am intrigued as to who Arsène picks in the first XI come 3pm. It's an interesting dilemma that he faces; on the one hand he'll have confidence-high players who will be on top of the world after breaking the hoo-doo that enveloped the team when visiting [...]

all is well

Liverpool and Chelski out, City all but gone against Barca and Arsenal remain the only hope for British success in the Champions League.How did that happen?I'm not complaining though. Certainly not as much as Chelski players were, apparently, last night. I've seen plenty of friends comment on the antics of the West Londoners, but I'm [...]

self-fulfilling confidence profacy

I'm still buzzing about the result on Monday night. More so than I thought I'd be actually. Probably more so because I know there's a Wembley semi final that lies in wait and, although we can't be presumptive enough to assume we'll waltz our way into the final (see Wigan last season as a case [...]

Drinking in success and the different styles in which we adopt now

These are the blogs that I started this site to write. It's victories like today that make the daily musings and nonsensical ramblings feel glorious in the extreme. Sometimes there's nothing better than savouring victory against a highly ranked opponent on their own turf. Sometimes you just have to drink it in, savour every drop [...]

Özil the sound engineer, needs a Shirley or Gloria

I was going to hypothesise as to what Arsène might be saying in his mega early press conference (in terms of when the presser is versus when the game is) today, assuming there is one, but instead I think I'll take my train of thought down an individual player route today.Mesut Özil.Last night I Tweeted [...]

stern test importantly navigated

That, like Crystal Palace before it two weeks ago, felt like a big three points yesterday. There will undoubtedly be those that will look at the score line and simply shrug it off with  an "it was only QPR", but we were made to sweat a bit for those three points, both in the first [...]

Ollie's recapturing of form good for us

Much like Chelski and Tiny Totts are to us all metaphor ally speaking, I have a real pain in my neck this morning, which caused me no amount of irritation when trying to get to sleep last night. Honestly, it's like Jose Mourinho himself had pulled up a chair and started jabbing me in the [...]

Tasty three points and chances taken. This time

With The Management in situ, blue skies overhead, as well as the ability to share some of the amber nectar before the game after a month off it, Arsenal duly delivered exactly what was needed on Sunday lunchtime with a serving of delicious three-pointage.It doesn't really matter that it was closer than we would have [...]

An arm around the shoulder or slap around the chops?

Arsene faced the media yesterday and, probably as you'd expect, he was reasonably defiant after an appalling game in midweek. He didn't rule us out of a 'miracle' as Big Per has put it, but equally he didn't retract some of the criticism for the team from Wednesday. It's the right thing to do, because [...]
