We're on a countdown to a cup final week this weekend, which has been made a little easier thanks to the Bank Holiday in England, because it means a shorter working week. The day off also enabled me to fill my Monday with all manner of things to do, which meant I didn't have to [...]
Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off. Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]
On Sunday it appears that, post the 0-0 stalemate between the forces of good and evil, Thierry Henry took the time to make suggestions that: A) Arsenal could never win the league with Olivier Giroud B) Arsenal would need to bring at least another goalkeeper, central defender, central defensive midfielder, before they would be able [...]
It's funny how important the psychology of a football game can change so quickly, almost minute-by-minute, which then affects the dynamics of every single football match. I guess that's why it's a sport that demands so much attention from so many people across the globe. Take yesterday's game for us against Newcastle, for example, in [...]
Match day today and a 3pm kick off too. That's two weekend's in a row. The TV companies obviously have forgotten about Arsenal in the league. Good, hopefully we'll get more of that. Well, I say good, but I'm actually a little cheesed off about this fixture, because I normally go up north to see [...]
Bit of a delayed post from me today. I booked meself off for a day of rest, relaxation and recuperation with the missus, after running a half marathon yesterday. These ageing limbs certainly can't do what they did ten years ago, I can tell you.The after effects of said marathon can also be felt in [...]
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 [...]
Arsene's presser started with the bad news about Gabriel being out for three weeks, but injuries in an Arsenal squad - especially the infamous 'three weeks' ones - are as par of the course as an Arsenal player, as the new inductee song in front of the playing staff. It's a shame for Gabriel because [...]
That, like Crystal Palace before it two weeks ago, felt like a big three points yesterday. There will undoubtedly be those that will look at the score line and simply shrug it off with an "it was only QPR", but we were made to sweat a bit for those three points, both in the first [...]
Much like Chelski and Tiny Totts are to us all metaphor ally speaking, I have a real pain in my neck this morning, which caused me no amount of irritation when trying to get to sleep last night. Honestly, it's like Jose Mourinho himself had pulled up a chair and started jabbing me in the [...]
