So no real upsets from yesterday's round of matches, saving plucky Spuds earning themselves a money-spinning and lucrative draw against title chasers Leicester City, or Oxford beating a woefully out-of-form Swansea. Actually, the fact that the Tiny Totts have another fixture to cram in to their schedule is probably a good thing from our perspective, [...]
I think the possible team today is one of the most fascinating we've had in quite some time. It's the third round of the FA Cup, we're at home to Sunderland, with a manager in Sam Allardyce who has already suggested he will rotate a number of his players for the game today. At home [...]
Arsène delivered an update on the status of the squads health yesterday and, to nobodies surprise, there wasn't really anything to update. Arteta, Rosicky and Alexis are the closest and none are available for the weekend. The real irritating one from that three is Alexis, but given Arsène mentioned that it was just precautionary, hopefully [...]
Thierry has been interviewed for The Arsenal magazine this month and yesterday the official site out some snippets of what he said online. He is my favourite player of all time at Arsenal, which I know will seem like sacrilege to those of you who appreciate Dennis, Rocky and Liam Brady, but for me it was [...]
I don't know whether it's acceptable or not to be happy that Liverpool saw a couple more players go down with hamstring injuries yesterday evening against Stoke. I don't wish injury on anybody really, even those who are the morally bottom-of-the-barrel footballers who might deserve it through their on or off field antics, but the [...]
It's the first day back in to the office for me today, having had 11 days off for Christmas and despite the fact that 2016 is already four days old, this is when I start to look ahead to 2016 and think about what I want to achieve. It's also the time in the year [...]
Some times you've just got to take an ugly win when it comes along. Yesterday, up against a resilient Newcastle United team, that's exactly what Arsenal did. It felt like a bit of an arduous afternoon, didn't it? Perhaps the Arsenal players were so happy to be playing at a 'normal' time - i.e. Saturday [...]
It's the first game of 2016 for The Arsenal today and at this time of the year, everybody is naturally looking at fresh beginnings, at opportunities and at making resolutions they will have kicked in to touch by mid February at the latest. The resolution I am hoping from the players and the manager are [...]
It's the last day of 2015 and as many people do, it's a good opportunity to look back on what has happened in people's lives, as well as what has happened at The Arsenal. It's hard to argue that the team haven't really been consistent over the course of the year. Sure, there have been [...]
So, it has been confirmed that we will be top of the league come New Year's Day, after the two City's - Leicester and Manchester - failed to score and ended with a 0-0 stalemate. It's the best possible result that we could have hoped for, in truth, because a Moneychester win would have put [...]
