Premier League action today for The Arsenal and, for me, there are just three requirements today: Win Don't lose Don't draw The latter particularly. I'm getting pretty fed up with draws this season and whilst I know the context of some of the early ones, as well as some of the ones latterly, we really [...]
Spent the weekend at an AirBnB which had it's own sauna, cinema room, jacuzzi and pool this weekend, so when I woke up yesterday having watched the game on m iPad, I couldn't really be arsed to pen any thoughts. Why ruin a perfect Sunday ahead by re-living the memory, eh? A new week also [...]
Tricky one, this one today, because Bournemouth are no mugs. As Arteta said, Antonio Iraloa has created a well-drilled, well-coached, progressive passing (they’re seventh in the league on progressive passing numbers just behind us, Liverpool, Brighton, City and The Scum) team who have not had some of the results they - and a few - [...]
As somebody who didn't stay up until 3.30am this morning to watch the Arsenal versus Bournemouth friendly game that went on in the early hours of the morning (UK time), it's very difficult for me to make a proper assessment. I'll level with you; I haven't even seen the two goals scored in the 1-1 [...]
Yesterday I spoke about the importance of not taking Bournemouth too lightly. There had been a few Arsenal fans that I'd seen who had been talking about needing to bring up the goal difference against a team on the beach, but teams like Bournemouth are dangerous because there is no pressure and they can play [...]
Another day, another 'cup final' for The Arsenal and I have to tell you, they all seem to get more intense with each passing week. I thought Wolves was bad. Then I thought Chelsea was worse. The NLD was horrible in the build up, so how do I feel EVEN MORE nervous now than I did [...]
For me personally yesterday was almost the most perfect sporting day I could have hoped for. First and foremost, which will take up the bulk of today's blog for obvious reasons, was the 4-0 away win over Bournemouth that Arsenal delivered to us on that most precious of things: A Saturday 3pm kick off. But [...]
Here we are at Match day again, as this busy period hots up, just as we're getting updates from Arteta on how many players are not available for the next game! He was in front of the press yesterday and at first it didn't sound too great a prognosis on the players who would travel [...]
Happy Tuesday people. Have you fully recovered from the weekend's emotional high? Or are you still drinking in all levels of content? I think mine is just about starting to wear off, but mainly because we're just over 48 hours until we are on to our next game away to Sporting Lisbon, a match which [...]
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 [...]
