The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
I Actually managed to sit through a whole 90 minutes of an England game last night, made all the more impressive by the fact that it was a dead rubber and only one Arsenal player was starting: Theo. Thankfully it was worth tuning in, just so that Theo could show Harry Kane what clinical finishing [...]
Not that we ever needed to be given a clear indication of the bromance between Mesut and the Flamster, but we got treated to 'exhibit A' on the official site yesterday, with Özil waxing lyrical about his partner in crime. Specifically, about his performance and two goals against the Spuds, which were both beauts you [...]
Arsène Wenger has built has various Arsenal teams with key attributes that include technical quality, quick passing and movement and a precision in their play that - when it works - is breathtaking and what football should be all about. For the first 20 minutes of yesterday's game that is exactly what we were treated [...]
Well, if it isn't the return of 'Prickly Arsène' in the press conference, who we hadn't seen since at least 2013 I'm sure? We all knew there'd be metaphorical blood spilt when Arsène went in front of the media coyotes, because they would be sniffing for blood and he looks very much like a wounded [...]
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 [...]
Apparently there's some sort of international tournament starting today. I'll be darned if I know what it is, because my gaze is locked firmly on what happens at London Colney today and then Stamford Bridge tomorrow. Oddly, there hasn't been any team news to come out from yesterday like there normally is, so I'm guessing [...]
In yesterday's blog I spoke about how the start of the Champions League proper yesterday evening felt like the start of the new season, full of hope and expectation, with all of the positivity that comes with it. So isn't it just the most 'Arsenal' thing to do to go and repeat the same mistakes [...]
Howdy fellas and ladies, hope you're feeling fine and dandy on a Tuesday, wherever you may roam. Let's start today with some words about Mesut. Mainly because I like talking about him. The way he plays football is effortless and ever since we signed him, whenever there's an article or an interview with him, I [...]
Although I didn't bother to watch any of the international games on yesterday, I have had a quick look at which of the games included key Arsenal players and, after a quick glance online, it appears everybody is safe. For now. By all accounts, Mesut Ozil sounds like he had an effective game for Germany [...]
