Well didn't we get away with it yesterday, with Burnley doing us an almighty favour and holding Chelski to a 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, which means Top four is still in our shaky hands. I didn't expect anything from a Burnley team that are pretty much safe but by drawing away it means that [...]
Happy Easter Saturday to you. I do like Easter Saturday. Despite not being particularly religious, I do - for the sake of the in-laws family - observe the 'no booze' rule on 'Good-but-should-be-called-rubbish Friday' and being up in the North East I always find myself craving a beer. So yesterday was a tough one. But [...]
Can I admit something to you? I really couldn't give a monkeys about the pre season friendly games. Sorry, but there, I said it. I mean it's not that I don't appreciate their value to fans that don't get to see The Arsenal every odd week like I do, but because I do and because [...]
I haven't exactly had the time to actually watch the game yet due to work travel commitments, so today's blog is a little bit of a 'helicopter view' of what I think it means to us to have beaten United on our own patch yesterday. It's big. Real big. Potentially season defining big. It is [...]
Morning all and welcome to 2019. As always the start of the new year brings with it hope and promise for a special year ahead and as Arsenal fans we'd probably look at 2018 as one we'd like to put behind us too. Let's be honest, 2018 wasn't an amazing one for us. We saw [...]
Morning folks. Happy Boxing Day and also more importantly happy match day! This is a big one today because this Arsenal team is creaking under the weight of injuries and with a possible eight players missing from the first team, we're at a time in the season when the games come thick and fast and [...]
It's always nice to kick off the Christmas period with a win and having dispatched a very physical Burnley side yesterday it feels like I can enjoy at least the start of my holiday. It was always going to be a tough game against a side who are known for their stubborn resistance and after [...]
Three weeks ago I was looking at this fixture as an opportunity for Arsenal to potentially continue a good run, to be chasing down the couple of teams ahead of us, to be looking up and wondering whether we'll sneak in to that fourth spot. It's amazing what a week of football can do at [...]
After a week in which many teams have European football there's often a tendency for the games to be a little flat. We used to see it back in the day of the Champions League attendance we had. Perhaps that could be labelled at a few teams at the top of the division this weekend, [...]
Today is a blog of, ultimate lunch, frustration I'm afraid. It's frustration because that wonderful winning run that we've been on came to an end away to Crystal Palace, but also it's frustration about the way in which it happened. There were a a few factors involved in the way I feel this morning: The [...]
