It's nearly here folks, time is almost upon us and although it's not the FA Cup final but the seminar Wembley, I'm still mega excited. Imagine what I'll be like tomorrow when it actually comes around to kick off?We have already had the prologue from Arsène; possibly eager to cocoon the players in a hotel [...]

If ever you needed an example of how unfortunately, some Arsenal fans are more concerned with off the field matters than on, you only  needed to see some of the ridiculous comments on social media yesterday after it was announced that Klopp would be leaving Dortmund at the end of the season.Rather than express surprise [...]

There's still another three days before Matchday is upon us and, perhaps unsurprisingly, all is quiet. So quiet, that talk about Cazorla wanting to return to Spain has seen a ripple of interest across the tinternet. Santi grew up near Real Oviedo and has said he'd like to go back there one day before he [...]

Sick sense of football gods humour; fitting the most confident players in

With all the hubbub surrounding our win against Burnley, followed by the hope killed by another Chelski scabbing of three points at the hands of a goalkeeper, I haven't even thought about the defeat of the Spuds to an Aston Villa team managed by Mr Gilet and all-round footballing genius Tim Sherwood. Super Timmy's charges [...]

Play the game and not the occasion

Today's game is certainly an interesting one. One the one hand you have an Arsenal team in a rich vein of form, coupled with a Burnley team in 19th position and having scored just 14 goals all season.But on the other hand you had an Arsenal team that have made a nasty little habit of [...]

Arsène's happy, we're happy, Mesut's great (Bobby says so)

What a glorious day I have awoken to in my London suburb. The sun is shining, The Arsenal are riding the crest of a form-inspiring run, Arsène has the pick of the sweet shop with his selection choices ahead of our trip to Burnley.Even Koscienly might be back for the game. Laurent Koscienly who limped [...]

What's all this talk about Jack Wilshere then, eh? As I trudged my way home from work yesterday evening, stopping only momentarily to offer a cursory nod of thanks to the free newspaper dispenserer, I noticed that the back pages were partially awash with talk about Wilshere possibly facing an exit from Arsenal with Juventus, Man [...]

Eurgh, midweek drinking (combinations of ale, red wine, Sailor Jerry and Port are not to be trifled with, fyi) accompanied by an early get up and train journey into the city for work, don't exactly make for the happiest Chris on this here earth, I can assure you. I've got that 'punched in the face' [...]

I know what you're thinking. Stop it. Don't do it to yourself. Stay realistic. You and I both know it won't happen. It can't happen.Can it? No, definitely not, regardless of how Moneychester City keep seeming to be willing to let us get the tiniest glimmer by losing or drawing games they should be winning. The [...]

Happy Easter Saturday in which let's all be completely honest with each other, unless we get a win this lunchtime, won't make this festive season a fun one.Liverpool come to town and it's a Liverpool team in which Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana will no doubt have miraculously recovered from the injuries that conveniently left [...]
