With the friendly game to take place at Wembley tonight most probably being the centre of attention for most of the world and its media, it is perhaps inevitable that from an Arsenal perspective there is some involvement. I suspect we'll see Giroud and Koscienly take their place in the team at some point, whilst [...]
Nothing is fun about this morning for me. Yes it's Friday, for which I am thankful, but that I drag myself in to work after a boozy night in which I needed to be at a work function, supporting an organisations awards in which my company get involved in, is particularly vexing for me this [...]
Last night I had a little smile to myself. I was thinking about the outrage when Arsène waved away the overtures of a Fabregassian return to the club and the player himself admitted that Arsène had told him that he wouldn't take up the option on the Spaniard, because we had Mesut Özil, with whom [...]
Now, admittedly the following thoughts for today are based on opinion, rather than in depth research. I write this blog whilst on my way to work travelling in on the Metropolitan Line tube and occasionally it goes in and out of signal, so the ability for me to undertake lengthy statistical analysis is somewhat mitigated. [...]
What on earth do you make of that game yesterday? I don't even know where to start if I'm honest. I don't k is whether to express relief that the team managed to salvage a draw, or frustration that we looked so leggy and at times disinterested, or at least a little clueless and out [...]
Here we are folks. Derby day. The most worrying day of the year as far as I'm concerned. Derby day has the potential to delight or disappoint in equal measure. A win against that lot down the wrong end of the Seven Sisters Road puts us in a superb position going in to the international [...]
I've got to be honest and tell you that the nerves have already started for tomorrow's North London Derby. It always starts at least two days before the actual game and by the time I reach the day before I'm already thinking about the potential outcomes, both positively and negatively. I make myself more nervous [...]
I really hope that Per Mertesacker hasn't been taking PR lessons from Djourou or Denilson, because as I flicked across to Arsenal.com to see what was going on, I saw two articles featuring him in the aftermath of the Bayern defeat. Can't they all just go into media lock down? I like it when that [...]
I'm really not sure what to make of yesterday's 5-1 hammering to Bayern Munich. I mean, obviously we played poorly and obviously our Champions League qualifications are hanging by the tiniest of threads, but it was a strange game because at times in the second half we looked good. Heck, Ollie G even weighed in [...]
With the Bayern game taking place on Wednesday, the team find themselves with little opportunity to regale themselves with the memories of the fabulous win at the weekend, instead having to put it behind them in favour of a look ahead to a Wednesday night fixture against Bayern. Sure, Joel can be happy with his [...]
