Woke up this morning like: "Yep, still in the Arsenal interlull" Man, for a team that regularly winds me up and has me vowing to put less emotional investment in them, they sure do manage to rope me back in with alarming regularity. I suppose that's a good thing: it shows the fondness I have [...]
If results go the way that I'd expect today, by the time we're all singing Auld Lang Syne at midnight, we could have a distance of 12 points to make up on Chelski to win the league before we play Palace tomorrow at 4pm. Sadly, I'm not full enough of Christmas/New Year hope that Stoke [...]
After Jack Wilshere was quoted admitting he's not sure if he'll play for Arsenal again, I've been thinking over the last day or so: What would it take for him to play for Arsenal again? It's an interesting question because I don't think it's as black or white as some people make out. Some suggest [...]
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 [...]
Having had a little wander over to Arseblog news this morning, I see that Santi has been talking about the fact his new deal runs out at the end of the season, with Spain or Arsenal being another option for another year or two. I think I speak for most Gooner's here when I say: [...]
Happy Monday to you and yours. I hope it's a good one. The Algarve remains blisteringly hot and I've taken to eating peaches for breakfast. Speaking of peaches, it was an absolute one which saw Shkodran Mustafi be an unused sub for their 3-0 away victory against Norway yesterday, wasn't it? It would just feel [...]
The signings of Mustafi and Perez were finally over the line yesterday and, as the sun began to set in the UK, both were pictured on the official site wearing the famous red and white of The Arsenal. It's feels good, doesn't it? It gives a buzz to the fans, but if you believe what [...]
Welcome to Tuesday, which in my head, is actually a Monday because of the bank holiday. Don't worry, it's definitely Tuesday. I checked. Twice. And it seems as though the end of the transfer window will be greeted with confirmation on the two deals that Arsène pretty much confirmed on Saturday, so I'd expect to [...]
I don't know about you, but this week - footballistically speaking - certainly feels like it's dragging on, as we're still only at Wednesday and I'm still a little raw from the opening day defeat. I'm trying to remember if it's always been like this at the beginning of the season. I think it might [...]
It's amazing what little actually goes on, football-wise, in the summer months and. Now that the number of games in the Euros is reduced to four to be played tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was almost completely wiped out for me through illness, as I slept for most of the day, but it was [...]
