Howdy fellow Arsenal fan. I hope you are well on a Saturday and haven't been as morose as me this week, what with us being knocked out of two competitions and barely clinging on for dear life in our final one, the Premier League. I have been pretty down since pretty much the United game [...]
As a football fan (Arsenal specifically but what I'm about to talk about can probably apply to every football fan), you always want to be able to find comfort in the words of the players in your team, as well as the manager. If the team are talking about confidence, if they are talking up [...]
With Monreal the man of the moment, having just signed a new deal with the club, it seems churlish of me to talk about anything other than our Basque left back. Of course I am pleased and delighted that one of our most consistent performers of the season will be at the club with a [...]
So, it has been confirmed that we will be top of the league come New Year's Day, after the two City's - Leicester and Manchester - failed to score and ended with a 0-0 stalemate. It's the best possible result that we could have hoped for, in truth, because a Moneychester win would have put [...]
I've seen three different first team Campbell's in my time as an Arsenal supporter. Kevin was a decent forward, Sol was an immense centre half and now Joel, who I will admit I have been a clear sceptic of in the past, has stepped up in an important game and maybe what Arsène 'smelt' in [...]
As the French national anthem belted out in Wembley stadium last night, I could not help but be proud of the fact that through such unspeakable acts of violence, people can come together to show solidarity in support of the French people. It was lovely to see two nations so often opposed as we and [...]
Hello again my fellow Arsenal friends. I hope this Saturday finds you well? Are you excited for today's game? I know I am. I'm excited because Arsenal currently have their tails up and performances have been very good both defensively and offensively of late. We'll need to have another very high level of intensity and [...]
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 think it's safe to come out now, isn't it, after all the international friendlies and Euro qualifiers are done right? I took the horrendous decision to watch the majority of a disjointed and unimportant dead rubber between England and the might that is Lithuania, which is two hours of my life I'll never get [...]
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 [...]
