Yesterday the protracted saga of Alexis Sanchez leaving the Arsenal - which let's not forget has gone on for essentially a year since it became clear he wasn't interested in signing a new deal - was concluded and I for one am glad that the 'saga' in itself is over. And in return Arsenal went [...]

We've all been watching this game enough by now. We've all seen this before a few times and therefore we all know at what stage we're at in the process. The manager's have done their little bit of talking. The club's have done their bit of talking. No fees have been agreed yet, so we [...]
The tedium of the Alexis saga appears to be moving into its final phases and having been entwined emotionally to it for the best part of 12 months, Arsenal fans will soon get the relief of it finally being over and by god, I'll be glad when it does happen. I won't be glad when [...]

Yesterday we hit December, which means I can officially go FULL CHRISTMAS CHEER, starting yesterday with the decorations going up in the house and Home Alone on in the background. I love this time of year. Everyone seems to be much happier. So what I - and by extension you - could really do without, [...]

Yesterday's win against United felt good, didn't it? It had a performance that had us remembering that this collective of players are in fact capable of pulling off performances that can add a touch of sparkle to the weekend's proceedings. Forget about the fact Mourinho had talked up his own teams failings, forget about his [...]
