I’ve got that song in my head from Home Alone 2. You know the one “it’s the most wonderful time of the year” by Johnny Mathis? Yep, that one, only I’ve replaced some of the words to create a new version circling my brain on repeat: It’s the most wonderful time, of the week.... Yes [...]
Morning folks. This will probably be a short one from me, on account of the fact I’ve spent half my journey this morning clearing up f*cking hot sauce that fell on the floor as I sat down on the Met Line this morning. FFS! Anyway, in terms of Arsenal there’s not too much going on [...]
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 [...]
Tonight is - if you believe Joel Campbell - the biggest game of the season so far for Arsenal. I get that, especially given that our Champions League future hinges on a 2-0 win or better score line, but whilst it might be important 'to date', I don't think we'll look back on it as [...]
We're about a day and a half away from beginning our Champions League knock-out match against Olympiakos and I for one, am excited. I'm excited because it really does all boil down to the performance on the night and for the first time in a few years of playing Olympiakos in Greece, the game actually [...]
The pain of the woeful Tuesday display still remains, but it's become a little bit more of a dull ache than a stabbing feeling in my gut, such is the speed in which football is coming at us with the games we've got midweek and then at the weekend. Almost inevitably, some of the players [...]
That, last night, was a disgrace. Everything was wrong about yesterday. The mangers decision to play Ospina, the lethargy in the team performance, the slow build up, all of it was appalling and I hope the players are having a serious word with themselves today. Before a goal was even scored, my colleagues for the [...]
I hope that whatever team is chosen tonight, we see more energy and urgency than our last outing in this competition, because anything other than a win against Olympiakos would be nothing short of a disaster. It's only now, as we reach game week 2 of the Champions League, that we realise the importance of [...]
There's no time for basking in victory right now, the games are coming thick and fast and tomorrow night the team will look to make it three wins in a row by trying to overcome Olympiakos. I must say I do love it when Arsenal play so often, but it doesn't leave you much room [...]
Winning the Champions League is hard. We've never done it and we're a club who has won almost anything you can win in football, often multiple times, so whilst it's always interesting to see who we'll get in the Group Stages of the Champions League, it didn't really bother me too much. The truth is, [...]
