Liverpool and Chelski out, City all but gone against Barca and Arsenal remain the only hope for British success in the Champions League.How did that happen?I'm not complaining though. Certainly not as much as Chelski players were, apparently, last night. I've seen plenty of friends comment on the antics of the West Londoners, but I'm [...]
These are the blogs that I started this site to write. It's victories like today that make the daily musings and nonsensical ramblings feel glorious in the extreme. Sometimes there's nothing better than savouring victory against a highly ranked opponent on their own turf. Sometimes you just have to drink it in, savour every drop [...]
I was going to hypothesise as to what Arsène might be saying in his mega early press conference (in terms of when the presser is versus when the game is) today, assuming there is one, but instead I think I'll take my train of thought down an individual player route today.Mesut Özil.Last night I Tweeted [...]
Arsene faced the media yesterday and, probably as you'd expect, he was reasonably defiant after an appalling game in midweek. He didn't rule us out of a 'miracle' as Big Per has put it, but equally he didn't retract some of the criticism for the team from Wednesday. It's the right thing to do, because [...]
I usually avoid any kind of football topics that aren't Arsenal related, but after seeing Jose Mourinho's less than subtle attempt to have more air time to push through his own personal agenda through the medium of Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday, I feel compelled to say something through my own soapbox platform, which is [...]
So we're back in league action today and it's a tricky game at Selhurst park in which the media seem to be all voting for us as their picks for victories this weekend. It's nice to know what supposed 'neutrals' think when looking at games and who should win, but as usual I'm not as [...]
Arsenal are a funny old team, eh? After labouring in the North London Derby, then huffing and puffing against a Leicester team with bodies behind the ball, they faced a confident Middlesbrough team and simply swotted them aside yesterday. I have to hold my hands up and admit I didn't see that coming. I assumed [...]
FA Cup Sunday. We're getting used to this, aren't we? That, and stupid non-traditional kick off times, coupled with having to pay for two subscriptions. This weekend I've wanted to watch a bit of FA Cup action and without BT Sport on my TV, I've been limited to Match of The Day. It'll only get [...]
Regardless of the 95 odd minutes that ensued last night, if you can't enjoy the fact that three points were secured and the team got back to winning ways with a win against Leicester, then you need to have a think about taking up something new to fill the void where football once was in [...]
I don't really feel like writing today's blog. I'm almost doing it this Sunday morning, purely out of habit rather than desire, because I feel like just forgetting yesterday's match even happened. The second that Harry Kane second goal went in, I got up from the heavily weighted Spud pub that I was in, walked [...]
