Ray’s half full glass and Laurent’s defence of Arsene

I like Ray Parlour. He's Arsenal through-and-through and always seems to look at life as if the glass is half full, rather than half empty, which is a very nice trait to have. Especially as a footballer and especially as an Arsenal fan. He's been quoted on the Sky Sports website talking up our chances of [...]

Frustration with the fates, but Arsenal need to overcome the psychological battle, too

This fixture has become the one in which more frustration exists than ever before and it's been like that over the last ten years or so because it doesn't matter in what position the two teams are in, Chelski usually come out on top, or at least without defeat. It doesn't matter if they're flying high [...]

Fans for a day, Vieira no love Wenger and trolling gets its comeuppance

With another day to go before we line up against Chelski, today is all about looking at others and praying for results to go our way. Most of my family on my Dad's side are West Ham fans, so is my brother, so they've always kind of been my 'second team' if there could be [...]

Champions League malaise isn’t enough to keep me from Premier League excitement

This season is crazier than Will Ferrell, hepped up on goofballs, riding a unicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. Everything is weird and no more so can it be signified than the game I watched yesterday in which the current Champions lumbered their way around the pitch against a team who were relegation [...]

Chelski preview: hair of the dog

The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]

Complacency costs careless Arsenal

In yesterday's blog I spoke about how the start of the Champions League proper yesterday evening felt like the start of the new season, full of hope and expectation, with all of the positivity that comes with it. So isn't it just the most 'Arsenal' thing to do to go and repeat the same mistakes [...]

Awesome weekend of results, but does it matter?

Completing the most awesomest of weekend fixtures not involving Arsenal yesterday, Manchester United's defeat to Swansea means that aside from an all-conquering Moneychester City (I'll come to them in a bit), we pretty much clawed back ground on any of the 'big' clubs that we dropped points to by losing to West Ham on the [...]

Building momentum is all the start of the season is about: this league is a tough one

What did we learn from yesterday's games? That plenty of teams will be as to compete with each other, and this season will be a tough one because of the money in the Premier League improving the quality of a lot of squads.  Spuds drawing to Leicester, United being frustrated at home, this season is [...]

Days of dictatorial managers are dead

I'm not usually one to talk about what other clubs are doing, but the sheer trolling nature of the Pedro saga means I feel compelled to write something, because it is funny. Well, it would be if it was someone other than Chelski getting the player. If Pedro headed over to Dortmund at the last [...]
