This feels like an incredibly steep hill for the team to climb tonight. In fact, whilst not impossible, it does feel like the kind of bill that you'd probably walk around if you had the chance. Bayern Munich on their own patch are a formidable opponent to say the least, but given that we have [...]
I watched yesterday's game through an iPhone stream at my parents house and if I'm completely honest, had I not have watched it at all and just seen the Match of the Day highlights, I'd probably have been a lot less stressed. But what I witnessed yesterday felt like something I haven't seen for about [...]
Hello again my fellow Arsenal friends. I hope this Saturday finds you well? Are you excited for today's game? I know I am. I'm excited because Arsenal currently have their tails up and performances have been very good both defensively and offensively of late. We'll need to have another very high level of intensity and [...]
I love hindsight. It offers so much and asks so little. It is a wonderful gift and a soothing relaxant after an evening of the 'now' can build such tension. Hindsight has allowed me to utter such a phrase: What a glorious night of football under the floodlights. Hindsight, as well as the bundled 'header' [...]
Ahh Monday's, the vindictive and evil brother of the lethargic Sunday, how much more tolerable you seem to be when The Arsenal have had a good game. I suppose, given that you are also followed by a matchday Tuesday as well, that I should find you a little bit more agreeable. It almost feels like [...]
The one good thing about playing on a Wednesday night followed by a Saturday, I suppose, is that it does give you an opportunity to wash the nasty taste out of your mouth after a stinging defeat. Of course, much like 'hair of the dog' works wonders, if we lose again against Chelski today, it [...]
So it's the first game of our Champions League campaign for this season and I have to say, it feels nice not having to say that in August, knowing that we are going through a two legged affair just to progress to the group stages proper. But before I go on about The Arsenal, I [...]
Today will be an interesting test for the team because, as Arsène described at his pre-game presser in Singapore, both Everton and Stoke were really up for their game and there were plenty of 'committed' tackles going in. You hear things like that and the first thing you think of as a fan is "I [...]
I'm going to resist the urge to vent towards the pathetic nature of the FA's charge of Jack Wilshere, for getting closer to the fans by singing songs, or the over sanitisation of modern day football and footballers as a result. Instead, I'm going to plough on with my thoughts on how this season's defence [...]
Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off. Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]
