It's the countdown to the start of the season now, and I don't know about you, but I'm really feeling it. The anxiety of getting over the line from last season is gone. We're champions. We're the ones with the gold badge on the arm. We're the club that everyone is looking at and aiming to [...]
I've been off the blog for a week, as the Management and I went to an Italian wedding and then toured Umbria, but back this weekend - and what a lovely thing to come back to yesterday, eh? Before I left for Italy, I was starting to feel like my daily musings were getting a [...]
Morning all - how we all doing after yesterday's late Community Shield drama, eh? I thought it was a very interesting display in the end; plenty for us to chew over and whilst it wasn't exactly a barnstorming game, it was a fascinating one that will have had all of the tacticos salivating over two teams [...]
I'm going to let you 'in behind the curtain' a little here and level with you, these words were written yesterday (Saturday), as I knew that I would be rather hungover and probably in no mood to sit at my computer and tap away at the keyboard for 20 minutes whilst trying to prepare myself [...]
I'll be dammed if the cat didn't decide to sit on my chest at 4am this morning and aggressively purr into my face for about 45 minutes. So I'm up at 6.20 to let the little bugger out and I thought I might as well start typing some Arsenal related waffle a little earlier than [...]
We all know it’s a glorified friendly, but yesterday’s penalty shootout victory against Liverpool is still a nice little bonus to start the season and against a team with more prep time and who are clear favourites to win the league again, it was nice to see us competing throughout the game. We were spritely, [...]
Match day for The Arsenal! Alright, it is only the Community Shield and ok, it’s Liverpool. But a match day is a match day and this is one in which I don’t have the usual nerves or fear of what a result will do to our season. That’s because, frankly, it doesn’t matter. As Arteta [...]
Morning party people, hope you’re all well and happy Friday to you and yours, which is happy because... FOOTBALL’s BACK TOMORROW! Ok, it’s a friendly and ok, it’s against a Liverpool side who will probably batter us with our midfield. But at least it’s something to talk about and with that we also got Mikel [...]
Another day brings with it another set of spurious rumours that Arsenal are linked with, along with a clutch of players that everyone seems to know everything about, which I'll get to in a second. But first, at least we know one fact from yesterday, which is the details of the Community Shield, which takes [...]
Victory in the 'Jose Treble' cup assured yesterday, our second trophy of pre season and a cast iron GUARANTEE that we will win the league, league cup, FA Cup and Europa League, all without dropping any points or conceding any goals. Or not. Before the game we were all clear that you can't read too [...]
