Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, which will probably be the last of the regularly released rambling utterances from yours truly on here, because in about 13 hours from writing this I'm off to New Zealand for a few weeks. I'll try to get a few blogs and thoughts penned in during that time, but [...]
Turns out that going Invincible isn't for everyone, eh? Well, if you're going to play that high a line against any Premier League side whilst down to ten men, then you absolutely get what you deserve. But I'll speak no more about them today I think, instead reflecting on what it means for us, because [...]
You'll have to bear with me today on the usual ramblings, because it was the mother-in-laws birthday yesterday and the whole family was down from the north for a meal. I thought I'd be able to slink off for the second half but that was not the case, so today's perception on the game last [...]
Morning folks. Hmm. That was a...frustrating....evening, methinks. In the immediate aftermath when I was annoyed that we'd lost to an RC Lens side that brought a decent level of press and a fanbase who were obviously super 'up for it' as a night in the Champions League that they hadn't had for 21 years (I [...]
Well that was like rolling back the years last night, wasn't it? What I mean by that is that it was Arsenal back in the Champions League, the music blaring, the light show, but also, the kind of performance we used to routinely take for granted. That felt like the kind of game that we [...]
There's no other place to start today other than that super ending to a dramatic day and it is yet another injury time winner - or couple of winners - that sent us all in to dreamland at the Emirates against Man United. I'll go through the chronology of the day yesterday in a bit, [...]
Had a bit of a heavy one in Richmond yesterday evening for a friends birthday party, so today’s ramblings will probably be more incoherent than usual, but let’s give it a go at previewing today’s game at the Emirates against United, shall we? Firstly, some form of prediction. I think we’ll get a draw today. [...]
In what is for me a, well, 'quirky' situation as a London based Arsenal fan, we play tomorrow, but actually for our fans in the West, it is actually today. Which makes my ramblings for today a...I guess...match preview of some sort? It's all a bit odd but I guess for those fans Stateside who [...]
Pre game yesterday the nerves had returned. I was in the pub talking to the lads and I had the not-very-nice feeling that there could be a banana skin being placed before us in the shape of Chelsea. They had some injuries, they were woefully out of form, they had a manager in Frank Lampard who clearly [...]
Ahh man am I hungover. I got to Highbury & Islington tube station at around 12.35 - about an hour earlier than I normally do - so I could watch the City versus Liverpool game. What a waste of time that was. I hope the Scousers are that rubbish when they play us, although I [...]
