I wouldn't have described yesterday's victory against Doncaster Rovers as 'thrilling'. Nor would I put it down as 'comprehensive'. It was certainly a win and safe passage to the fourth round against Norwich at The Emirates, but it was hardly a humdinger of a cup tie, was it? As expected Arsène rotated his whole team [...]
No sooner had the boots been polished following the Australia tour, than the team are off to China and training in the blistering summer heat of Shanghai, as the team take part in some sort of trophy involving all of the types of teams that none of us want to see Arsenal play, So it's [...]
The good news kept on coming yesterday with Arsenal, with the official confirmation from the club that Big Per, that man who in five years has already elevated himself in to some kind of legendary status, will be staying on beyond next season as Academy Manager at the club. I don't think there's a single [...]
With the Cup final being the only remaining top flight game of the season, it's no surprise that all eyes are turning towards it, and the club themselves are no different from anyone else in that regard, yesterday releasing a lovely looking infographic which outlines some interesting facts about Arsenal and the FA Cup. Apparently [...]
I'm an Arsenal fan in my mid thirties and can I admit something to you: winning trophies - any trophies- means a hell of a lot more to me than it did ten years ago. Ten years ago I thought to myself that setting us up to be financially sound, to deliver Champions League football [...]
Oh, hello, how the devil are you? Feeling fine and dandy on this Saturday morning? It's been a while since I blogged - Monday I think - but I thought I'd return to action given that there's football this weekend. I've been in St Lucia you see and whilst there's wifi throughout the resort, I [...]
Honestly, have you ever seen as much fuss being made, as the whole 'Wayne Rooney dropped' saga that's being played out in the media. I don't remember any other captain getting the same level of treatment and attention when they were no longer England captain. It's just, well, weird if you ask me. He's 30 [...]
Yesterday I did a piece on how important I thought it was that Santi was given a few more years at Arsenal, given his impact on the team, and the result was pretty much universal for all Gooner's that they wanted him to stay and the club should do what's needed. I don't know if [...]
I don't know about you, but this week - footballistically speaking - certainly feels like it's dragging on, as we're still only at Wednesday and I'm still a little raw from the opening day defeat. I'm trying to remember if it's always been like this at the beginning of the season. I think it might [...]
Yesterday's pre-US game presser by Arsène had the expected confirmation that Big Per will be out for 'months', in which the manager also confirmed that more experience would need to be brought in. I'm sure there are those out there that feel like this is a fantastic thing, because it means we might go out [...]
