Happy Saturday to you super awesome people. hopefully it's one in which you can keep yourself busy, what with the whole 'no Arsenal' getting in the way n'all. For me it's one in which I've got half a day of some chores, then it's a bit of egg chasing observation with a couple of mates [...]

Stability is a place called Arsenal these days. With the announcement that Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla have both renewed their contracts with a four and three-year deal respectively, we have seen two of the recently unanswered questions be unequivocably dealt with by the club. In terms of keeping the continuity of the squad together, only the inking of [...]

This is it people. Cup final day. It's hard to effectively communicate the significance of today to anybody who isn't a football fan, or even isn't a fan whose team is in the final, but this is season defining. And I mean that with no sense of hyperbole at all. By 10pm tonight we will [...]

So who'da thunk that FIFA were a corrupt collection of cheating no-good-for-nothing's, eh? Then, quelle surprise, who'da thought that Sepp would persist with the FIFA elections to ensure his dictatorship remains for another however many years, by not postponing the election process after this latest set of troubles? Well, everybody, actually. Even Arsene had his [...]

result doesn't matter, but with Wembley on the horizon, the performance does

I really feel like keeping this blog to one line reading: "For an analysis of last night's game, see the Swansea game, only Sunderland didn't have the killer touch that the team from Wales had" It felt exactly the same, almost, didn't it? I mean, you had a team who essentially decided that the perfect [...]

Sunderland preview: Breaking down a defence again

A lovely midweek game to keep us occupied tonight, how thoughtful of The Arsenal to get so far in the FA Cup and ensure this fixture was moved to a midweek, where we would have something to talk about. And that something appears to be how likely Arsene is to shuffle his deck a little [...]

United preview: play with width and stretch an average back four

United at Old Trafford. A game in which historically has had extreme significance, but in very recent times has not been as intense as the early Arsene Wenger years. Neither side is competing for the league for one thing, which inevitably results in a reduction of the pressure, but at least both teams have something [...]

Permutations, as St Totteringham's draws ever nearer

So it appears that it's not just football in which there are some 'boring boring' tactics used, as Floyd Mayweather decided that yesterday he'd rather celebrate the equivalent of a 0-0 to beat Manny Pacquiao by winning on points in what I am reading from people on social media, was more of a snugglefest from the American. I'm [...]
