This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]
Well now, I must confess, I didn't expect to get such a comfortable afternoon for the Arsenal players in West London yesterday, that's for sure. Fulham were a side difficult to play against, especially on their own ground, with a week off and us having travelled to Portugal to play midweek too. This felt like [...]
Happy Saturday you wonderful people. It might be an Arsenal-less one, but hopefully you can find enough enjoyable other things in your life to have a good one nonetheless. The good news from an Arsenal perspective today is that Gabriel - the big one at centre half - confirmed that he’s signed a new deal [...]
Nine wines out of ten, four points clear at the top of the league, meaning that whatever happens in midweek with other results, we'll still go in to the weekend top of the league by match day 12. We are now over the quarter way point in the season and we have amassed the same [...]
Morning folks - hope you are all well. Before the usual match review stuff today, it is worth taking a moment to celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, who died yesterday aged 96. I am certainly no royalist or major fan of the Royal Family, but she has always been a [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday! Get in there! I'm particularly excited because I'm going to blow up the big paddling pool I have and lie in it for large swathes of this weekend in my back garden, like some kind of beached whale. Bring. It. On. What I don't want to hear at all [...]
What was Thursday's objective has now been shifted to tonight, with it feeling like the season pretty much rests on what this young Arsenal team does tonight at St James' Park. With the Scum bundling their way over the line at home to Burnley with yet another penalty, it moves them two points clear of [...]
It's not even 48 hours since the NLD and, strangely, I think I'm getting over it a lot quicker than I thought I would. Don't get me wrong, it stung, badly. But I suspect the fact we still have it 'in our hands' for now, as well as the fact there is a game so [...]
What vital win that was yesterday. Arsenal knew that they needed to get a result against a Tottenham side that had been given a leg up with Leicester undertaking massive rotation and basically throwing their match at the Toilet Bowl Stadium. The Scum had gone a point clear of us and a draw or defeat [...]
I tell you what, after the shocking January we had on and off the pitch, I was glad to get a bit of respite from The Arsenal in early February. My frustration was palpable in my house on 1st Feb and so having a bit of time away from football - apart from blog every [...]
