You know how there are always divisions amongst fanbases on issues, right, and particularly among Arsenal fans? Well, today I fancy talking about Mesut Özil, who seems to be flavour of the month in terms of dividing people. But interestingly enough, it's not the Arsenal fanbase I'm looking at today, but the media. Because it's [...]
Bit of a delayed post from me today. I booked meself off for a day of rest, relaxation and recuperation with the missus, after running a half marathon yesterday. These ageing limbs certainly can't do what they did ten years ago, I can tell you.The after effects of said marathon can also be felt in [...]
I'm still buzzing about the result on Monday night. More so than I thought I'd be actually. Probably more so because I know there's a Wembley semi final that lies in wait and, although we can't be presumptive enough to assume we'll waltz our way into the final (see Wigan last season as a case [...]
Arsene's presser started with the bad news about Gabriel being out for three weeks, but injuries in an Arsenal squad - especially the infamous 'three weeks' ones - are as par of the course as an Arsenal player, as the new inductee song in front of the playing staff. It's a shame for Gabriel because [...]
I was going to hypothesise as to what Arsène might be saying in his mega early press conference (in terms of when the presser is versus when the game is) today, assuming there is one, but instead I think I'll take my train of thought down an individual player route today.Mesut Özil.Last night I Tweeted [...]
That, like Crystal Palace before it two weeks ago, felt like a big three points yesterday. There will undoubtedly be those that will look at the score line and simply shrug it off with an "it was only QPR", but we were made to sweat a bit for those three points, both in the first [...]
Much like Chelski and Tiny Totts are to us all metaphor ally speaking, I have a real pain in my neck this morning, which caused me no amount of irritation when trying to get to sleep last night. Honestly, it's like Jose Mourinho himself had pulled up a chair and started jabbing me in the [...]
With The Management in situ, blue skies overhead, as well as the ability to share some of the amber nectar before the game after a month off it, Arsenal duly delivered exactly what was needed on Sunday lunchtime with a serving of delicious three-pointage.It doesn't really matter that it was closer than we would have [...]
It's all rather quiet on this Tuesday morn, which is lovely given that there's a big game tomorrow and no doubt Arsène's presser at some stage today, so we'll get an update on who's available. We've already had Arsène's thoughts ahead of the visit of Monaco, in which he really goes out on a limb, [...]
I usually avoid any kind of football topics that aren't Arsenal related, but after seeing Jose Mourinho's less than subtle attempt to have more air time to push through his own personal agenda through the medium of Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday, I feel compelled to say something through my own soapbox platform, which is [...]
