Does Stoke’s Arsenal hoodoo end today?

Morning Gooners. You alright?  I had Nepalese last night. It's essentially curry. But with goat. And every dish on the menu says it's 'thoroughly enjoyed by the ghurkas'. Those ghurkas love everything, it seems. Except Stoke City. I bet if you placed a Ghurka in the middle of the township of Stoke, they'd probably turn [...]

‘Small miracles’ and majestic Arsenal men

By |2017-05-19T20:07:14+01:00December 7th, 2016|Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Attack, Champions League, Match Review|0 Comments

Wellety, wellety, wellety. Welly, welly, welly. Wellington. Wellington. Wellington. Didn't expect that from the last round of Champions League matches in our group, did we? No-siree we didn't. But we got what I think Arsène had described as a 'small miracle' and both the Arsenal team put out yesterday, as well as the Ludogorets team [...]

Incorrect team set up is spared blushes by Ollie G

What is it about Old Trafford? What is it about Jose Mourinho? Both seem to bring out the worst - performance-wise - in Arsène Wenger teams. Yesterday was a painful game to watch. It was 45 minutes of tedium followed by 45 minutes of under performance from Arsenal players, which was only spared by a [...]

Arsenal must overcome an Old Trafford psychological barrier

I don't know whether it's because it's early in the morning and I'm still tired, having had a few jars in the city last night and not returning home until 1am, but as I write this pre match preview blog I don't feel as nervous as I usually do about today's away trip to Old [...]

Arsène: don’t gamble, just win

As expected, Arsène addressed the media ahead of this weekend on Thursday rather than Friday, with the team travelling oop norf today at some stage. No doubt Alexis will be with them, having told Le Boss that he's ok via text. Ahh texting, remember that? The thing that we all used to do before Whatsapp, [...]

Alexis survives! Shame that Mourinho does too though

Alexis Sanchez really is something else, isn't he? For the last week all we've heard is how broken he is, how his heavy strapping is keeping his hamstring from twanging like an old banjo, yet last night he managed 84 minutes and two goals. What a machine. It just highlights to everyone how much of a [...]

Bus parking – do we need to be worried at Arsenal?

I was a little too worse for wear yesterday to blog, having consumed quite enough spiced rum on the Saturday evening, so I decided I'd wait until the inevitable affect effects had run their course and blog today on Saturday's game.  I suppose there's also an element of the match itself having been a bit [...]

A bizarre victory against Swansea, but a victory nonetheless

Well lads and lasses, I don't know about you, but I have absolutely no idea what to make of yesterday's game. I don't know if I should be a little worried about the way in which we handed Swansea a few lifelines, or happy about the fact that at times we were breathtaking and ultimately [...]

Ghosts of Swansea past need to be erased for title belief

By |2017-05-19T20:08:05+01:00October 15th, 2016|Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

It's match day! Hoorah! Proper football is finally back! Yippee!  As you can tell, I'm rather excited that Arsenal are back in action today, after what has felt like the longest interlull in a long, long, time. It's Swansea at home for a three o'clock kick off and whilst I can't be there to see [...]
