It's another matchday, another FA Cup round, another early kick off and another game against Hull City. Anything feel a bit, y'know, familiar to you? Perhaps it's a good omen. After all, in the last two years, when we've beaten Hull City in the cup, we've 100% guaranteed ourselves a trophy. So a win today [...]
Well. Where to start after yesterday's drama, eh? Sometimes in football, the greatest ever goal that can be scored, is one that comes in the dying embers of a match when your opponent has no time to respond whatsoever. It's like your favourite meal followed by your favourite movie all wrapped up into one second [...]
I've spent all week gradually working myself up with permeatations and speculative predictions in my mind on how the league will pan out for all four teams at the top, but we're now getting closer to the actual action, so my numb feeling I mentioned earlier in the week has gone full Red Admiral in [...]
Yesterday Arsène delivered his injury news update via the official site and, quite deliciously, it included confirmation that everyone bar Santi and Jack are back in training. So that's Rosicky, Welbeck and ahead of schedule our midfield destroyed Francis Coquelin. I can't tell you how pleased I am. Well, I can, via this blog, but [...]
Arsène delivered an update on the status of the squads health yesterday and, to nobodies surprise, there wasn't really anything to update. Arteta, Rosicky and Alexis are the closest and none are available for the weekend. The real irritating one from that three is Alexis, but given Arsène mentioned that it was just precautionary, hopefully [...]
As is always the way when you reach the middle part of a week in between fixtures, all seems to be relatively quiet in London Colney at the moment, which I have no real issue with to be honest. Last night The Management asked which day Arsenal are playing on this midweek, then seemed quite [...]
Nothing is fun about this morning for me. Yes it's Friday, for which I am thankful, but that I drag myself in to work after a boozy night in which I needed to be at a work function, supporting an organisations awards in which my company get involved in, is particularly vexing for me this [...]
Ahh Friday. Full of promise of a weekend of enjoyment, full of Arsenal and everything a home 3pm Saturday afternoon kick off and full of fallout from an Arsène Wenger press conference. For it is he, the man with which so much irritation appears to be directed, who has caused much consternation amongst some Arsenal [...]
Although I didn't bother to watch any of the international games on yesterday, I have had a quick look at which of the games included key Arsenal players and, after a quick glance online, it appears everybody is safe. For now. By all accounts, Mesut Ozil sounds like he had an effective game for Germany [...]
In the post-international boredom haze that we're currently wading through, there's nothing like a boot in the proverbial balls by the England manager, stating that Danny Welbeck will probably be out for around six months. I'm pretty sure Arsene and some people at the club will have rolled their eyes on that one. The England [...]
