Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. We are less than a week away from it all being over and I am starting to get excited. The thought of three months away from having to shout at my TV because young men in their 20s and 30s can't make me happy on a football pitch makes [...]
Isn't it just so very Arsenal that when all seems lost and there is little to play for, the team finds a level of character from deep within it, to pull off a victory away from home against a high-flying Chelski who have been bulldozing most teams and beat Man City at the weekend? Perhaps [...]
I will get to the football that was played last night, eventually (and unfortunately), but first of all there should be only one place to start today's Arsenal-related musings and that is with the protest yesterday. Estimates between 2,000 to 3,000 fans were there outside the ground yesterday and in bringing together that many people [...]
Football is bloody bonkers sometimes. Yesterday's game away to West Ham was an example of that and I'll be honest with you, I have no idea how to properly judge what we all witnessed yesterday. That's because when I usually analyse how I feel with The Arsenal it usually falls in to quite a binary [...]
My my my. We really are something, aren't we, eh? Clock ticking down, time running out, 11 minutes plus stoppage time to turn what would have been a disappointing draw away to Olympiakos in Athens and up steps forward two unlikely goalscorers with two super goals to put us in control of this two-legged tie. [...]
You can't win 'em all. Sometimes you have to accept that and yesterday's draw against United, whilst being at home, was definitely one that I'd say "I'll take that" given the circumstances. And those circumstances were that we had a number of injuries, we faced a side who have picked up lots of points and [...]
Morning all. Perhaps a slightly provocative headline for today's blog, but waking up this morning and just before I went to bed last night, that's what went through my mind when I tried to give the overall game some kind of one sentence analysis. Arsenal progressed through to the next round of the Carabao Cup [...]
Well, it's a good job that Arsenal made a signing yesterday, becasue I got my dates muddled up and thought we were playing Leicester City tonight in the Carabao Cup! Welcome to Icelandic goalkeeper Runar Alex Runarsson to The Arsenal! The 25-year-old joins us from Dijon where he had fallen down the pecking order behind [...]
I don't really know in which direction to go with for today's Friday musings. I feel like it's a little to early to go full match preview and start talking about the game tomorrow and, as I've already talked about how I'm feeling and how nervous I am, as well as how many weird nervous [...]
That was a disgrace of a performance last night. It was an example in arrogance and this morning I am still pretty raw with rage from what I saw last night. Because what I saw was an Arsenal team that broke one of the fundamental laws of any kind of competition: Never underestimate your opponent. [...]
