Thierry has been interviewed for The Arsenal magazine this month and yesterday the official site out some snippets of what he said online. He is my favourite player of all time at Arsenal, which I know will seem like sacrilege to those of you who appreciate Dennis, Rocky and Liam Brady, but for me it was [...]
I don't know whether it's acceptable or not to be happy that Liverpool saw a couple more players go down with hamstring injuries yesterday evening against Stoke. I don't wish injury on anybody really, even those who are the morally bottom-of-the-barrel footballers who might deserve it through their on or off field antics, but the [...]
I had a race against time to get down for the match, after spending Christmas up north with The Managements family, so didn't manage a pre-game blog. But it's always a worthwhile journey when Arsenal win, so I'm glad I got up early and I'm even more glad we won, after the poor performance on [...]
Good gloyven, I didn't know I could eat and drink so much, such was the merriment from yesterday. I think I must have consumed my own body weight in Christmas dinner and cashew nuts. It's a good job I have nothing to do today other than get nervous about the game this evening, which perhaps [...]
The dust may still be settling on Monday night's brilliant victory, but it's good to hear that players like Big Per aren't getting too carried away. He was interviewed after the game and rolled out the footballing cliché of taking it 'game-by-game' and just focusing on the next match, rather than any title talk. Good. [...]
In this craziest of crazy seasons, where everybody can beat everyone (including Watford smashing the Scousers), consistency will be king. Those teams who can put together a winning run like - gulp - Leicester are doing at the moment, will find themselves within touching distance of the title. Tonight we're up against a title rival [...]
They'll be a press conference today, so I'll be fully expecting Arsène to stroll in, put his middle fingers up to the skies and declare that November can kiss his shiny white hide. After injuries and dropped points that really shouldn't have happened, he'll be keen to stress that we're still two from top spot [...]
If, as expected, Arsène confirms that Cazorla will be out for potentially three months or at least until up to March, then that would pretty much cap off what has been a pretty savage seven days for us. Sunday's point against Norwich started the bitter taste in my mouth, because two wins against West Brom [...]
It's match day today and another away game against a Norwich side who will be looking to pick up some points in front of their home fans and also move further away from the teams at the bottom. For us, it's an opportunity to climb a couple of places up to second if we can [...]
With the friendly game to take place at Wembley tonight most probably being the centre of attention for most of the world and its media, it is perhaps inevitable that from an Arsenal perspective there is some involvement. I suspect we'll see Giroud and Koscienly take their place in the team at some point, whilst [...]
