I need you to do something for me over the next few days. I need you to not get your hopes up too much about United being fatigued when they play us on Sunday. Yes, yes, yes, I know they have a lot of injuries at the moment, which is forcing them in to very [...]
In many ways I am your archetypal football fan, in that I'll wax exceedingly lyrical over my team when they win, yet when they are defeated I often find myself chastising the players and the manager for their performance. But today I find myself ill at ease, because I've got both emotions to show from [...]
I'm excited for today's game, I can tell you, and not just because the team are testing themselves against arguably the best club side in the world. Nope, I'm also exciting because as far as I'm concerned, this game and the one at the Nou Camp in a couple of weeks' time are 'freebies' in [...]
What a start to a week. Post Hull I lost my wallet (complete with two Arsenal season tickets in) and spent the best part of yesterday evening searching for it to no avail. Then I head to the tube line this morning with an emergency Pay As You Go Oyster card (The Management's) only to [...]
Yesterday's 0-0 home draw with Hull may have had an almost entirely rotated XI, but the failings of the team to dispatch an equally rotated Hull City side, had a lot of familiarity about it. Arsène decided - rightly in most people's opinions I think - to ensure that players were fresh for Barcelona and [...]
I hope the planets aren't seemingly aligning for us to give us a false sense of security. What I mean by that is three fold: Hull City's hectic fixture scheduling Steve Bruce has already admitted he's going to have to rotate his squad for those players who haven't played much recently. He's bidding for a [...]
Can I admit to having an opinion that I have had for some time, that I find suddenly wavering in the light of some new evidence that I've come across? I've long held the belief that Olivier Giroud gets a hard time by a section of our fanbase. He's just not some peoples cup of [...]
With the fallout from the Leicester City game still taking place, I found myself reliving some of the dramatic moments yesterday by taking in a few blogs and watching a new video of the game at the weekend with somewhat of a decent production value and a little bit of dramatic music thrown in too. [...]
So here we are. We've arrived at the biggest game of the season for Arsenal and unlike anyone would have predicted, it's a home match against Leicester. That could very well define our season. We've all been talking about it all week with friends, family, people we know online, people at work, Arsenal fans and [...]
In this - quite frankly mad - season, it seems strange that with us eight points from the top of the league, there still remains hope. But Leicester's win at the Etihad has done exactly that, strangely, because if it was City, Chelski or United that had just established such an assailable lead, we would [...]
