The team news from Arsène will be revealed at some point today ahead of the Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb, but there's only one real piece of news we're all nervously awaiting: the immediate fate of Francis Coquelin. Perhaps foolishly, I pushed myself in to believing that it would not be as bad as [...]
Where to even begin with the shower of the proverbial that we witnessed from Arsenal yesterday, eh? I mean seriously, I have no idea where to even start. Nothing went right. We played terribly. Then, even with most of the 90 minutes of tripe we had to sit through, we still get handed a lifeline [...]
I've got to be honest and tell you that the nerves have already started for tomorrow's North London Derby. It always starts at least two days before the actual game and by the time I reach the day before I'm already thinking about the potential outcomes, both positively and negatively. I make myself more nervous [...]
I watched yesterday's game through an iPhone stream at my parents house and if I'm completely honest, had I not have watched it at all and just seen the Match of the Day highlights, I'd probably have been a lot less stressed. But what I witnessed yesterday felt like something I haven't seen for about [...]
I don't like this particular fixture that we've got today. It was this same fixture about this time last year that I was almost banned from watching The Arsenal with family members around, because of the profanities that I was firing in the direction of the flat screen, as everybody was around celebrating my birthday. [...]
Well now, none of us truly believed that a game at home against Everton, did we? I mean this is The Arsenal, we never make it easy for ourselves, so we were always going to have a bit of nail biting that needed to be done. It was a cagey affair from the off. From [...]
The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
Can I admit to being a little bit selfish when it comes to the football fixtures? What I mean by that is that because I am a season ticket holder - and very privileged I feel to be in that position - I want all of the home games to be Saturday 3pm kick offs [...]
I hope that whatever team is chosen tonight, we see more energy and urgency than our last outing in this competition, because anything other than a win against Olympiakos would be nothing short of a disaster. It's only now, as we reach game week 2 of the Champions League, that we realise the importance of [...]
With Arsène yet to even announce any kind of team news for tomorrow (as I type - first thing Friday morning), I feel like a pilot flying through thick, soupy fog without any of my instruments to guide the way. There's a very good chance this blog will crash in to some sort of opinionated [...]
