I had a race against time to get down for the match, after spending Christmas up north with The Managements family, so didn't manage a pre-game blog. But it's always a worthwhile journey when Arsenal win, so I'm glad I got up early and I'm even more glad we won, after the poor performance on [...]
Good gloyven, I didn't know I could eat and drink so much, such was the merriment from yesterday. I think I must have consumed my own body weight in Christmas dinner and cashew nuts. It's a good job I have nothing to do today other than get nervous about the game this evening, which perhaps [...]
The dust may still be settling on Monday night's brilliant victory, but it's good to hear that players like Big Per aren't getting too carried away. He was interviewed after the game and rolled out the footballing cliché of taking it 'game-by-game' and just focusing on the next match, rather than any title talk. Good. [...]
Okay, so here's the thing: I'm gonna level with ya. The first part of today's blog is written in a slightly inebriated haze and post-match big game glow. It's delivered to you because I think we saw a mature Arsenal team that has delivered a statement to the rest of the league that guess what, [...]
In this craziest of crazy seasons, where everybody can beat everyone (including Watford smashing the Scousers), consistency will be king. Those teams who can put together a winning run like - gulp - Leicester are doing at the moment, will find themselves within touching distance of the title. Tonight we're up against a title rival [...]
Well, I learned something about my own ability to predict football results yesterday, which was that I really shouldn't bother. After yesterday's blog I had made some assumptions and whilst the only result I categorically predicted was the United one (which I got wrong), I also thought both Spurs and Leicester would drop points, which [...]
Today's an interesting day, because it still feels like we're so far away from Arsenal's game, yet it's a weekend in football in which we'll all be paying a lot of attention. Leicester travel to Everton in a game in which you have to wonder whether they will finally come unstuck. Much like how we [...]
Well, well, well, my how the 'mighty' mighty have fallen so quick, so fast and so hard, eh? I wonder if, at the end of season party when all of the back-slapping and self-congratulating had finished, the chortle from the speech about how there is a team who only play in calendar years (the jibe [...]
Tonight is - if you believe Joel Campbell - the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. I get that, especially given that our Champions League future hinges on a 2-0 win or better score line, but whilst it might be important 'to date', I don't think we'll look back on it as [...]
As far as weekend's go, in terms of our result and in context of results for other teams around us, we can all be quite happy with our lot this Monday morning as I type. Liverpool, City, United and the Spuds all dropped points. Sure, Leicester kept up their winning habits, but let's let them [...]
