Howdy Gooners, looking forward to another match day? I find this game a fascinating one to predict the team line up you know, because unlike in the league in which a core of 13 or 14 players maximum are realistically going to feature, tonight's game could have almost anybody starting. There will inevitably be some [...]
Forget hyperbole of Wayne Rooney being 'back' after he scored a hat trick against an underwhelming Club Brugge yesterday evening, today is all about the Group Stage proper and finding out who we'll see rocking up at the Emirates from Seltember. We're in Pot 2, which means that we'll certainly not face Real Madrid, Porto, [...]
Not for the first time this season Liverpool were the beneficiaries of yet more dodgy officiating, yet for the first time this season, we were the beneficiaries of a superb Petr Cech display. Which would probably be the story of the game if you asked me to describe it in a paragraph or less. The [...]
Did you ever get told by your mum to ignore the chants of other boys/girls? To brush away callous name-calling with a simple rendition of "sticks and stones"? And did you find it really difficult to understand why your mother didn't tell you to open up a can of whoopass on the individual in question? [...]
Happy Saturday to you and yours. Me and mine are spending it doing the square root of naff all, on account of an impending venture to the Algarve next week. There's a haircut, new house key cut and potentially a bit of back garden lawn cut, but that's about it. In Arsenal land, the only [...]
I'm going to resist the urge to vent towards the pathetic nature of the FA's charge of Jack Wilshere, for getting closer to the fans by singing songs, or the over sanitisation of modern day football and footballers as a result. Instead, I'm going to plough on with my thoughts on how this season's defence [...]
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 [...]
With the Crystal Palace game about 30 hours away, all of the focus turns back towards the Premier League today with Le Boss' press conference ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park. We've already had an injury update from the manager, confirming that Ramsey is three days in to a three week rehab programme, as [...]
It appears I must have some sort of political sway at Arsenal HQ, because after my plea for the Bielik deal to be announced, low and behold the young fella turns up on the official site as a confirmed signing. I do find it interesting that young plays - boys really - that come from [...]
