I love that I have a surrogate team for international competitions. I am proud that I've got a little bit of German heritage in me and that when all else fails, usually, I can at least trust on that little bit of Deutsch in mein blut to keep international tournaments interesting through the years. Not [...]
Welp, the fixtures are out and the football karma gods clearly had a look at my plea for us to get a relatively serene start in terms of calibre of opposition, then kick that hope right in the nuts. That's because from 14th August until the beginning of October we have six football matches and [...]
Morning folks. I don't normally make a habit of signposting people in a different direction to another part of the internet at the beginning of my usual daily ramblings, but I was particularly impressed with this week's Arsecast, in which Andrew and James had a chat about transfers, what's on the horizon (or not as [...]
Isn't it just so very Arsenal that when all seems lost and there is little to play for, the team finds a level of character from deep within it, to pull off a victory away from home against a high-flying Chelski who have been bulldozing most teams and beat Man City at the weekend? Perhaps [...]
Morning folks. Forgive me if I'm still not the cheeriest man on the planet in today's blog, but whilst we all love it when Arsenal win football matches, it is hard for me to be too effusive about a 3-1 victory over a (now) relegated team who still caused us more problems than you'd expect. [...]
Ahh man....my head hurts...four hours at the pub yesterday afternoon and a tomahawk steak for dinner and I have all the meat sweats and head pains. What I could really do with now is a bit of greasy food and then an Arsenal lunchtime win. I really don't want my brain to hurt more because [...]
I'm sure there are some morning's where Mikel Arteta wakes up and thinks to himself: "eugh, I have to do a presser today" I bet after comprehensive victories like Thursday night, yesterday was NOT one of those days. So over he must have sped to London Colney to deliver his virtual conference to the assembled [...]
Well now folks, this is it, pretty much, for this season, by my reckoning. Fail to perform tonight hand get a win (or a high scoring draw) and Arsenal go out to a team who have just had it confirmed that they have a racist captain and who never really offered much at The Emirates [...]
And now we play the waiting game....That game of course is every Arsenal fan collectively holding our breaths as we wait patiently for either the club, or Arteta, to give us an idea on who is fit and who isn't ahead of a massive game against Slavia Prague tomorrow night. He'll have to tell us [...]
In the grand scheme of things the result tonight probably doesn't really matter too much against Sheffield United. Of course we want to win, but winning will neither cement a position in a part of the league we want to be at, nor will it enable us to climb the league to any significant amount. [...]
