Three lovely, juicy, delicious points. Don't you just love them? It doesn't matter who the team is, or how much form they do or don't have, I always have nerves that we're going to bugger up a result. It's funny because if you looked at all of the games Arsenal have played over the last [...]
What's this? Two 3pm kick offs after each other? How novel, eh? It's bloody typical that last week I couldn't bask in the glory of a traditional 3pm kick off at home, on account of being abroad, as well as this week's game on account of it being away. And I am up in Northumberland [...]
It's press conference day today, which means hopefully we'll get some answers to questions that have bemused us over the last week, like: What has Xhaka done to you? What is the nature of your relationship with Francis Coquelin? Do you know where Debuchy is? Can you you go the entire press conference without using [...]
I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to writing this blog today. Having spent a large part of the summer in the transfer doldrums, then seeing our start to the season completely disrupted by injuries and the failure to adequately prepare for the season openers, the tone of my writing hasn't been [...]
A 3-1 victory over Chivas de Guadalajara yesterday was just the ticket for the Arsenal squad. We all know these games are about building up fitness, about preparation for the long Premier League season, but winning is fun and seeing that Arsenal won again in the States yesterday was good on my tired eyes as [...]
I like Thursday's. Not as much as Friday's, but Thursday's still have faint whiff of the weekend about them and as far as I'm concerned, that's a-ok with me. Usually you start to get stories coming out of Arsenal on a Thursday too, even in the pre-season summer lull, stuff always feels like it's about [...]
Big news coming out yesterday evening from Bolton, with Rob Holding set to sign for over £2million, eh? As usual, my timeline on Twitter was filled with varying degrees of 'meh', but the reality is that Arsenal have always made these kind of signings under Arsène. They're sort of the standard model for Le Boss [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety, how about the Welsh team, eh? Blasting their way in to the semi-finals with an Aaron Ramsey-inspired performance, no less. I didn't watch all of the game, only sporadic intervals, but what I did see was a Belgium team that were struck by the same afflictions that plagued England and those Welshies [...]
Shaquiri wonder goal aside, didn't yesterday feel like the worst day so far of the Euro's? For me it certainly did. Not only did I have to sit through some of the most mind-numbingly dull football one could ever imagine, but the team's that'd I'd decided to temporarily shift my allegiance to all failed in [...]
Well, it looks as though my assumptions based on the Vardy situation were a bit off, eh? You'd have to say so, after Arsène was interviewed on Chinese TV suggesting that the striker will most likely stay at Leicester. It'll be a bizarre decision if it happens, but if that's the case then I'm not sure [...]
