Where does one even start after a performance like last night? It was maddeningly bizarre and ultimately a classic example of how infuriating Arsenal make us all as fans. Let's start with the actual outcome though, shall we? A 3-3 draw when you are supposedly hunting down a team who have won 13 on the [...]
Monday's do suck sometimes, don't they? Usually when you don't feel at your fighting best and after a lovely relaxing evening with The Management, complete with a bit of booze and Christmas turkey and crackers, I find myself a little achey and tired as I begin today's travel to work. Gawd only knows how footballers [...]
Good ol' Arsène and his Thursday press conferences. They make compiling my thoughts so much easier, especially when there's a Saturday game, because it means I can talk about what he said at the presser on the Thursday, then focus on being apprehensive about the game on the Saturday. Sunday then becomes a true day [...]
Ahh, that sweet, sweet smell of fresh ink on a key Arsenal players contract. Smells good, doesn't it? I know we're all waiting with baited breath on Özil and Alexis to commit their long futures to the club, but the fact that Hector Bellerin has also put pay to the rumours that both City and [...]
As expected, Arsène addressed the media ahead of this weekend on Thursday rather than Friday, with the team travelling oop norf today at some stage. No doubt Alexis will be with them, having told Le Boss that he's ok via text. Ahh texting, remember that? The thing that we all used to do before Whatsapp, [...]
So by the sounds of it, this international break is already starting to claim Arsenal players for its own, after Hector Bellerin was rumoured to be out for at least the next month with an ankle injury. To be fair to the Spanish under-21 team, it does appear as though the knock was sustained during the [...]
With no proper football taking place this weekend, I don't know about you, but I'm still stewing on the missed opportunity that was the North London Derby. It's fairly obvious it was a missed opportunity too. Everything I've read talks about how Tottenham will have been happier with the point, how they have shown that [...]
Arsène Wenger always has, and always will be, the master of his own way. I bet he wakes up at the beginning of each week and decides when his press conference will be, lifting his phone only to tell somebody at the club to 'make the necxessafy arrangements'. It's the only explanation for the press [...]
A Thursday morning press conference before a Saturday 3pm game? It's almost as if Arsene was as bored with the international break, so decided to drop a line to the press team to bring forward the presser by his normal Friday morning job, just so he could put this dreaded period behind him snd save [...]
I must say that this season, Theo Walcott has done a bang up job in proving some of his doubters thus far, hasn't he? He's improved his overall game, is looking the player we should have seen six years ago and when you read stories like this you can only be pleased that we have a [...]
