Returning player Christmas cheer; lazy journalism with ‘lazy’ Mesut tag

It's Christmas Eve, I've already begun The Fattening, and yesterday we had Arsene give an update on the latest team news ahead of West Brom at home on Boxing Day. And after a pretty stinky time of late, it appears there was a bit of Christmas cheer to be had from the press conference, in the [...]

Arsene’s margins are fine re: contract; players WILL come in during the summer

Well then, what shall we talk about today, then? Maybe what Arsene said during his presser yesterday? Oh, alright then. Team news is that Mesut is back and after looking like he was going to smash Henry's record, he still needs two more assists just to equal it. It's not been from the want of [...]

Action needed after Welbeck news

Poor old Danny Welbeck. From regularly available, fully fit Man United player, to crocked and barely on the pitch Arsenal player. It seems the injury curse of wearing the cannon on your shirt has struck again.  Nine months. Jeez. I'm sure you're feeling as deflated as I am, but that will be nowhere near as [...]

The ‘Top Trump’ was the win, but there are still too many unanswered questions for Arsenal

Did you ever play the popular card game "Top Trumps"? Well, regardless if you did or didn't, there was always one card that pretty much beats any other card in the whole deck. I have the Marvel version of the game and I think it's the Incredible Hulk. Well, the reason I'm bringing this up [...]

Let’s re-instate mobility to the forward three against Norwich

At present I find myself typing today's blog from a hotel room in Dubai. It means I won't get to the game today, but I will be watching it from a Sports Bar round the corner. Why is any of this significant? Well, I've been to Dubai before just once, in May 2012. I missed [...]

Insipid Arsenal and Arsene’s baffling selection decisions at Sunderland

Inspid was the first word that came to my mind after yesterday's display and I've already seen a number of Arsenal fans use it, so clearly I'm not alone in my view of how this Arsenal team failed again to show any kind of drive, any kind of belief and quite frankly looked like they [...]

No more home bankers against teams like West Brom

Normally I'd be opening today's game with 'ahh matchday, that glorious of things' or something similarly positive, ahead of a midweek trip to the Emirates. But whilst I'm happy to be getting there once again, and whilst it means my day has something to look forward to come the end of it, there's part of [...]
