Still nothing really meaty from the club ahead of the weekend's fixture with Newcastle, but that's to be expected give that it's Thursday, as well as the fact it's a home game. Arsène liked to do easy on a Friday, being Spanish Unai preferred them later on in the day, but Arteta has so many [...]
I spent most of yesterday hanging and most of Saturday drinking red wine and eating red meat and given there wasn't any Arsenal to think about, it didn't really feel worthwhile blogging about what's going on. Because let's face it; there isn't really anything. I don't count players posting pictures of themselves training as news, [...]
There was a wee bit of reaction from my post yesterday, in which I suggested our summer 'war chest' may not be as big as we'd like. I had a couple of people suggesting I was talking a load of old nonsense. I don't deny that I do talk a load of old nonsense but [...]
Morning folks. Happy Tuesday and all that jazz. I'm working from home today - benefits of a flexible company - and I've decided that I need a bit of fresh air in the morning. Only the fresh air of London isn't actually that fresh, plus it's pretty cold, so all-in-all it's not as great an [...]
well there are some things in life that feel as certain as death and taxes and, right now, Arsenal drawing and Burnley fans booing absolutely anything they could possibly muster are such things. Yesterday's 0-0 was our 13th in a season that has seen us only lose six games, but only win six and these [...]
On Saturday morning I was uber positive about Arsenal getting the result and all three points against Sheffield United at home. I thought that despite injuries, suspensions and recent misfortune on VAR, we'd manage to grab ourselves some precious points on our own turf. Unfortunately I hadn't bargained on the fact that the footballing gods [...]
I'm still trying to work out how I feel about yesterday's defeat to Chelski on our own patch. I mean, obviously I'm annoyed, but it feels like it's tempered somewhat with some of the situations that occurred during the match. Last night I lay in bed and at one point I was both pissed off [...]
Without going on to the internet and running a quick search I can't even remember the last time we won in a big game against one of the traditional 'big' teams, so I'm under no illusions that this afternoon's lunchtime match against Chelski will be a bloody difficult one to pick three points up on. [...]
We're off and underway with the Arteta era and although it's hardly the barnstorming away victory that I think we probably deserved given our dominance of the ball at times yesterday afternoon, there were certainly positives to take from what we saw against Bournemouth, so I'm hoping to focus on those a little more than [...]
The only 'non-depressing' thing about yesterday's 3-0 defeat at home to Man City yesterday was the act of defiance that came at the end of the game. Not by the players of course and not by Mesut Özil who displayed more energy kicking a water bottle than for the rest of the game (although all [...]
