It appears I must have some sort of political sway at Arsenal HQ, because after my plea for the Bielik deal to be announced, low and behold the young fella turns up on the official site as a confirmed signing. I do find it interesting that young plays - boys really - that come from [...]
I wanted to spend a little bit of time today to talk a of an unsung hero. A player who has been an almost ever-present in the Arsenal team this season, yet rarely do I take to social media and see his name mentioned. I'm sure the manager has referenced him before at some stage [...]
Well that wasn't quite what we expected yesterday, was it? I mean, victory against the Champions, on their own turf? Ok, who are you and what have you done with the real Arsenal? I'm still actually quite stunned to be honest with you. Somebody obviously decided that the 'Big book of footballing certainties' was torched, [...]
It's Sunday, the time of prayer in the Christian world, to which I too am offering up some prayers to the football gods for this afternoons game. I am praying for a win or even a draw, because let's face it, our chances seem slim giving our history, the form of the champions, our patchy [...]
Arsene was in fine form yesterday at the pre-match presser, wasn't he? Laughing with the hacks, joking about their constant reminders on our form against the top teams, even giving a completely straight and direct answer to the questions about signing the young Legia Warsaw midfielder Krystian Bielik. All yes' as far as that transfer [...]
As we lurch ever closer to this weekend's game against Moneychester City, the build up is already beginning by the media online, talking up 'classics' and how this weekend's game will compare to encounters between the two games. I have to say I don't really remember too many 'classics', if I'm honest, because we were [...]
So, Yaya's Sanogone then, eh? (I'm afraid that's the best you'll get from me first thing on a Wednesday morning) A loan move to Crystal Palace sees our much maligned young centre forward get an opportunity for more game time by playing for the guy who loves a Frenchman, Alain Pardieux. It's a good move [...]
It's The Management's birthday today, which means much celebrations are in order and a decent slice of cake at some stage, I'm sure. It's all pretty rosy in the Arsenal garden too, isn't it? One thing that is positive about not having a midweek game is that the post victory warmth that washes over you [...]
After over a month in which I've frequented The Emirates, that performance and result yesterday was just the tonic required for a first home league game of 2015. Everything about yesterday went exactly how it should always be, in the ideal world of a Gooner, with a relatively very early goal, complete control of the [...]
Blimey am I not a fan of these Sunday 1.30pm kick offs. It's a ruddy pain in the derrière if I'm completely honest. After all, Sunday's should be solely for sleeping in and recovering from any said hangover that one might have. Particularly if Arsenal have won from a 3pm kick off on a Saturday. [...]
