Glass half empty or full?

Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off.  Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]

The real ballot, some squad rotation and babies with beretta's

Regardless of where any bodies political allegiances lie after the UK general election, for a big chunk of Arsenal fans, they'd probably have given up voting rights for the most important ballot success this week: the FA Cup Final ticket allocation allowance today. Good luck to all of you who are in it to win [...]

Exploit the width against Hull's formation

Today the good lord Bergkamp could see fit to bless upon us the day of St Totteringham, in which we celebrate the mathematical certainty that Arsenal will finish above the other team in North London in the Premier League. Ideally a draw yesterday coupled with an Arsenal win would have made this weekend just about as good [...]

Hull touch, Welbeck settled and more balance needed

I didn't watch the game between Hull and Liverpool last night, only checking in this morning to find that the scousers end of season collapse is now in full swing, but that was a bit of a touch for us wasn't it?  In more ways than one, actually, because victory over Liverpool gives Hull a [...]

horrendous scenes in Italy and Mesut's high midi-chlorian count

If you could have written a more horrible ending to an England match, would it have been far off from seeing a host of Totteringham players celebrating a goal from the nation with which you were born? That's what I and many other English-born Arsenal fans had to endure last night, as Andros 'The Saviour' [...]

Drinking in success and the different styles in which we adopt now

These are the blogs that I started this site to write. It's victories like today that make the daily musings and nonsensical ramblings feel glorious in the extreme. Sometimes there's nothing better than savouring victory against a highly ranked opponent on their own turf. Sometimes you just have to drink it in, savour every drop [...]

'Obvious' klaxons, Giroud's award and Welbeck's form an issue for Theo

It's all rather quiet on this Tuesday morn, which is lovely given that there's a big game tomorrow and no doubt Arsène's presser at some stage today, so we'll get an update on who's available. We've already had Arsène's thoughts ahead of the visit of Monaco, in which he really goes out on a limb, [...]

Gritty three points

I don't know why, but yesterday's game with Crystal Palace felt like a really big result, in the context of our Premier League season. There were many people I spoke to during the week who were pretty convinced that we were going to go to Selhurst Park and sweep aside a Palace side who have [...]

Palace: negate the pace out wide and play the more technically gifted

So we're back in league action today and it's a tricky game at Selhurst park in which the media seem to be all voting for us as their picks for victories this weekend. It's nice to know what supposed 'neutrals' think when looking at games and who should win, but as usual I'm not as [...]
