The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
Apparently there's some sort of international tournament starting today. I'll be darned if I know what it is, because my gaze is locked firmly on what happens at London Colney today and then Stamford Bridge tomorrow. Oddly, there hasn't been any team news to come out from yesterday like there normally is, so I'm guessing [...]
Doesn't time fly when you're having fun, eh? This particular phrase has definitely struck a chord with me this morning, as I find myself back on the Metropolitan line train and slowly ambling myself towards my grey prison in central London for my first day back to work after a break in the sun. I [...]
Not for the first time this season Liverpool were the beneficiaries of yet more dodgy officiating, yet for the first time this season, we were the beneficiaries of a superb Petr Cech display. Which would probably be the story of the game if you asked me to describe it in a paragraph or less. The [...]
I am a completely irrational football fan. Specifically, I am a complete irrational Arsenal football fan and if I'm completely honest, after the first weekend of football I was dreading anything but a positive outcome from yesterday's game against Crystal Palace. That in itself doesn't sound too irrational to you, I'm sure, but when I [...]
Today is the very definition of 'muggy', with my clothes sticking to me and general uncomfortableness being the feeling for today it seems. I also seemed to have stepped on to an artists impression of Victorian London, because there's fog everywhere, so all I need now is Sherlock Holmes to solve a crime for me [...]
Hello hello you wonderful peers of mine. I hope you're not too caught up in your own inner torment and moroseness as we hit the halfway point in the week. The bad taste of a weekend defeat may still be lingering like a little morning breath (despite having brushed your teeth to within an inch [...]
This morning I read Mr Positive himself, Paul Merson, talking about this weekend's Community Shield. He's predicting an Arsenal win, which is nice, irregardless of the context of the game or whether either side can truly be as 'up for it' as a Premier League game. But that's not what drew my attention to write [...]
Whilst hearing the news yesterday about Mattieu Flamini and his probable departure this summer (to Bastia or Galatasaray, depending on who you believe), I began to ponder Arsène's next move in the fabled 'DM' position. It's an interesting one because there is no simple hard and fast answer. There are so many different options open [...]
Honestly. I love our fanbase for the variety and volume of Arsenal fan that there is, but sometimes we all need to take a deep breath and chill the eff out, because life truly is too short. Yesterday one of the Arsenal lads in my office called out from his desk that Schneiderlin had finally [...]
