Unai faced the media yesterday and as usual never really said anything of interest, also not confirming whether Cech will play his last game of the season tomorrow against Brighton. I'd like to say that Brighton will have nothing to play for if they are safe, but Palace didn't, which didn't stop us from absolutely [...]
I thought last night's game against Valencia worked out well in the end, considering where we were on the 12th minute, a goal down and looking as ropey as ever at the back. But let's give some credit to 'home team Arsenal' - a very different proposition to 'away team Arsenal' - because they bounced [...]
Howdy folks. Was travelling yesterday so I didn't really have much time to compile thoughts on the Brighton game but really, how many people want to read about the dross that we were served up on the south coast though? It was pretty turgid stuff throughout and even though we drew with Brighton, it felt [...]
Morning folks. Happy Boxing Day and also more importantly happy match day! This is a big one today because this Arsenal team is creaking under the weight of injuries and with a possible eight players missing from the first team, we're at a time in the season when the games come thick and fast and [...]
Happy Christmas Eve to you all and despite the fact Leicester did us a favour on Saturday, clearly it was too much to ask Everton not to be a complete shambles against Tottenham yesterday. You watch, when we go to Goodison they'll suddenly turn in to Pep's Barcelona, as opposed to the walking crash that [...]
When The Management walked into the lounge yesterday at around 4pm and asked "how did they get on?" In reference to Arsenal's dismal 2-1 defeat away to Brighton, I think she was a little taken aback by my nonchalant "they lost. Meh. Do you fancy watching Blade Runner?" response. Her response pretty much summed it [...]
A night of karaoke and beer/rum has essentially obliterated my Sunday morning, so I think I'll keep today's pre match blog rather short, because from when I'm typing now kick off is about two hours away and the team news will be put by the time I've fried up my bacon and egg as the [...]
I thought yesterday was the archetypal 'routine' win for Arsenal yesterday which, given how tired I was feeling after a heavy night of booze and karaoke followed by an early get up for The Arsenal, is no bad thing. One set piece free kick against the woodwork in the first half aside, we controlled possession [...]
Ahh man I feel roughered this morning. That's rough and knackered combined, kids. I had many a drink last night and at 2am remembered that the broadcasting companies have ruined football with their ridiculous kick offs. And now I'm not appreciating the karaoke I did in my kitchen with my mates. Not even in the [...]
It's Ben today giving his thoughts on last weekend and the FA Cup in general. I'll be back tomorrow with a dissection of what Arsène said in his pre-villa presser. Chris We've been told in recent weeks that The FA Cup has been becoming secondary and it's losing it's appeal. Last weekend begged to differ. [...]
