It's the waiting that kills ya, I'll tell ya that much, because this working week has already dragged and it's only Wednesday.With no Arsenal on during midweek, the footballing options were limited to listening in on how the Championship is going, versus enduring the Champions League. With no Arsenal representation there, there's no way I'd [...]
Eurgh, midweek drinking (combinations of ale, red wine, Sailor Jerry and Port are not to be trifled with, fyi) accompanied by an early get up and train journey into the city for work, don't exactly make for the happiest Chris on this here earth, I can assure you. I've got that 'punched in the face' [...]
Happy Easter Saturday in which let's all be completely honest with each other, unless we get a win this lunchtime, won't make this festive season a fun one.Liverpool come to town and it's a Liverpool team in which Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana will no doubt have miraculously recovered from the injuries that conveniently left [...]
Whilst trying to treadmill my consumed daily calories off yesterday lunchtime, I listened to the excellent Arsecast Extra from Monday and aside from the usual humour from the two hosts, there was one interesting question that a listener posed. It was one in which was a toughie to be asked on the spot, asking whether or [...]
Aaron Ramsey has a confession to make: he loves a bit of Coq behind him. Speaking to the official site, I think this was the second or third time that he has specifically referenced Francis Coquelin for singled out praise, talking about how much ground he covers and how many tackles he wins. It's no surprise [...]

I guess that's why it's a sport that demands so much attention from so many people across the globe. Take yesterday's game for us against Newcastle, for example, in [...]
Much like Chelski and Tiny Totts are to us all metaphor ally speaking, I have a real pain in my neck this morning, which caused me no amount of irritation when trying to get to sleep last night. Honestly, it's like Jose Mourinho himself had pulled up a chair and started jabbing me in the [...]
With the Crystal Palace game about 30 hours away, all of the focus turns back towards the Premier League today with Le Boss' press conference ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park. We've already had an injury update from the manager, confirming that Ramsey is three days in to a three week rehab programme, as [...]
Don't shoot the messenger here, but just before I woke up this morning, I was in Berlin about to watch Arsenal play in the Champions League final. We'd beaten Monaco and Basle and in the semi final we'd played Norman Booth under-11s (they were the best team in my youth league and won every game [...]
So. Ermmm. The 7th of Feb wasn't great was it. BUT THE 10TH WAS. SO LETS TALK ABOUT THAT INSTEAD *weeps uncontrollably* It's incredible how quickly football changes. How your outlook on things can be quickly reversed with the swing of someone's boot. I've decided in the last few days that at least 40% of [...]
