I think we'll be seeing a press conference today, despite the fact that we don't play until Monday, so itll be interesting what Arsène makes of the weekend's action. I don't know about you but it does feel like in 2017 we seem to be playing more 'catch up' on games right at the end [...]
Well. There's only one place to start today, isn't there? What. A. Goal. Take a bow Olivier Giroud, because you ain't scoring another one of those in your lifetime son, not in a competitive match environment anyway. It was majestic and although I couldn't be at the game to see it in person, the audible [...]
If results go the way that I'd expect today, by the time we're all singing Auld Lang Syne at midnight, we could have a distance of 12 points to make up on Chelski to win the league before we play Palace tomorrow at 4pm. Sadly, I'm not full enough of Christmas/New Year hope that Stoke [...]
It's still two days before the team play and quite frankly, the football couldn't come quickly enough, because it hasn't at all felt like a packed schedule so far. We've played one game in about two weeks. So I'm looking forward to seeing how we get on against Palace. Arsène gave an update on the [...]
Yesterday evening The Management and I went out for an evening stroll in the crisp London air and after discussions about returning to work, I was given one of the greatest gifts one could get as a working man: an extra days leave. Well, I am seeing it as that, because I didn't realise that [...]
This is going to be a challenging blog to write today. Challenging in the sense that I suspect at times I'm going to come across as angry. As The Management often says to me though: I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed. So the challenge is conveying a person who is not angry. I really am [...]
Well wouldn't you know it, one minute you're an Arsenal fan thinking "season over, we won't win the league now", then the next minute Moneychester City have dispatched Chelski, Liverpool and City have a genuine chance of European league glory and suddenly the fourth place trophy doesn't even look like it might secure European football! [...]
Saturday's without football are like a car without wheels; fairly redundant and not exactly the most fun in the world. Today I'm going to see a mortgage adviser, get my hair cut, going for a run and then going to see my nan in hospital. I hate hospitals. But then I think about Abou and [...]
I am a completely irrational football fan. Specifically, I am a complete irrational Arsenal football fan and if I'm completely honest, after the first weekend of football I was dreading anything but a positive outcome from yesterday's game against Crystal Palace. That in itself doesn't sound too irrational to you, I'm sure, but when I [...]
Today is a very important game. Today The Arsenal need three points, because only then will we all breathe a sigh of relief and start talking about the possibility that last weekend's defeat to West Ham was a 'blip' and this Arsenal team can challenge for the league. Quite simply: Premier League winners don't lose [...]
