It's really enjoyable writing a blog after almost everything has gone right in the game on the previous day. I love it. I get to praise, 'big up', congratulate and back-slap. All more preferable than the usual written form of grimacing that comes after a really poor performance. So today, I am a happy Gooner, [...]
Experience shouldn’t beget complacency against Forest
It's a late one from me today, and probably a short one too, for I am not a well man. With about two hours worth of sleep, punctuated the whole time by needing to head to the loo, I feel like a bit of a shell of a person, so I may have to call [...]
A new midfield style to be forged in final three games?
Yesterday Arsene gave an update on the players available at the weekend and wouldn't you know it, for the first time since the end of last season, everyone suddenly seems fully fit. Isn't that just the most Arsenal news of all time? Three matches before the end of the season, when everything is done and [...]
What does the rest of the season mean for you?
Genuine question there that I'd love to get some comments on from anybody tuning in today. We've had the Champions League come and go (which to be honest most of us must have thought that would happen anyway after the draw), we've seen a chance for FA Cup glory melt away after a lacklustre home [...]
Elneny of Hydra
I love the idea that when Mohammed Elneny conducted his interview on the official site yesterday, after being awarded the Arsenal Player of the Month award, he had a maniacal glint in his eyes as he said to the camera "this is only the beginning". The thought of somebody with somewhat comical hair styling could secretly [...]
Elneny and Wilshere – the dream (and unlikely) partnership?
You know how the phrase 'the calm before the storm' relates to something bad about to happen? Well I hope that today's complete dearth of anything interesting Arsenal-related does not follow the same path, because there is right now, literally nothing worth talking about. I'm not in the slightest bit interested in transfer guff at [...]
An Alexis precaution and a LANS flavoured cake
Arsène delivered an update on the status of the squads health yesterday and, to nobodies surprise, there wasn't really anything to update. Arteta, Rosicky and Alexis are the closest and none are available for the weekend. The real irritating one from that three is Alexis, but given Arsène mentioned that it was just precautionary, hopefully [...]
We’re doing the right things in January
As is always the way when you reach the middle part of a week in between fixtures, all seems to be relatively quiet in London Colney at the moment, which I have no real issue with to be honest. Last night The Management asked which day Arsenal are playing on this midweek, then seemed quite [...]
