Whilst trying to treadmill my consumed daily calories off yesterday lunchtime, I listened to the excellent Arsecast Extra from Monday and aside from the usual humour from the two hosts, there was one interesting question that a listener posed. It was one in which was a toughie to be asked on the spot, asking whether or [...]
Match day today and a 3pm kick off too. That's two weekend's in a row. The TV companies obviously have forgotten about Arsenal in the league. Good, hopefully we'll get more of that. Well, I say good, but I'm actually a little cheesed off about this fixture, because I normally go up north to see [...]
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 [...]
Arsene's presser started with the bad news about Gabriel being out for three weeks, but injuries in an Arsenal squad - especially the infamous 'three weeks' ones - are as par of the course as an Arsenal player, as the new inductee song in front of the playing staff. It's a shame for Gabriel because [...]
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 [...]
FA Cup Sunday. We're getting used to this, aren't we? That, and stupid non-traditional kick off times, coupled with having to pay for two subscriptions. This weekend I've wanted to watch a bit of FA Cup action and without BT Sport on my TV, I've been limited to Match of The Day. It'll only get [...]
Well what a weekend of FA Cup football we have witnessed, eh? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, with a host of 'big' teams crashing out to supposed inferior opposition. And at home too. Chelski, Spuds and City were all sent packing and the form team and surprise package this season - [...]
Well what have we hear? Good news and returning players from injury? Is that cause for optimism I see galloping over the horizon, heading towards us at a rate of miles per hour? Sort of, I guess, because until we win some back-to-back games, which seems as likely as a Ched Evans apology right now, [...]
Wow, we're full of exciting and wonderful Arsenal news today, aren't we? Item one on the agenda is that any player caught smoking is apparently being given the punishment of having to train with the youth team by Arsene Wenger. Woah....hold on there AW, are you sure you want to do that? After all, when [...]
Where do you even start with a performance like yesterday? How do you dissect something that was so turgid, it doesn't matter which way you look at it, you're not going to like what you see? What I saw yesterday, the first day of 2015, was an old familiar sight that I'd hoped could be [...]
