Defending the club becomes little more challenging after Welbeck news

I feel like I've been a mellow Gooner this summer. Whilst others around me have wavered, have shown a much more vocal level of irritation with the club's policy, I've maintained my stance that I think the squad is balanced with enough quality players and that although I'd like to see a couple of players [...]

Wellington, wellington, wellington, how about that for a third round Capital One Cup draw for us, eh? The Spuds at their hovel of a ground. Who da thunk it? At least we'll get to see the youngsters on TV...but wait...how many will we actually see? Because you know that these days we have a squad [...]

Building momentum is all the start of the season is about: this league is a tough one

What did we learn from yesterday's games? That plenty of teams will be as to compete with each other, and this season will be a tough one because of the money in the Premier League improving the quality of a lot of squads.  Spuds drawing to Leicester, United being frustrated at home, this season is [...]

Alexis the machine; Arsène has a point on technology and transfers

Hey there fellow fan, how are you holding up during this barren Arsenal weekend? Any good?  I'm feeling your pain, because I feel pretty fed up at the lack of Arsenal too, so we can both be a bit morose with Sky and BT for fudging around with the fixtures. Monday Night Football may give [...]

Hoping Welbeck doesn't go full Rosicky with his injury

Last night I woke up just before midnight to the most brain-stabbingly painful headache at the back of my bonce, I thought my head was going to explode like I was on the Mars surface in Total Recall. I suspect it was just my body rejecting the 6,624,253rd rumour about Benzema signing. There's only so [...]

All about connections

I sporadically tuned in last night to watch Liverpool against Bournemouth in a match that was supposed to be so comically one-sided it wouldn't seem fair. Instead I saw a hard working Bournemouth team treated to some rough luck as Liverpool scored a goal which, under the rules, should not have stood. Talking about decisions [...]

No complacency: title challengers don't do that

Today is a very important game. Today The Arsenal need three points, because only then will we all breathe a sigh of relief and start talking about the possibility that last weekend's defeat to West Ham was a 'blip' and this Arsenal team can challenge for the league. Quite simply: Premier League winners don't lose [...]

Go easy on a returning Welbeck; football is like cards, not chess

Today is the very definition of 'muggy', with my clothes sticking to me and general uncomfortableness being the feeling for today it seems. I also seemed to have stepped on to an artists impression of Victorian London, because there's fog everywhere, so all I need now is Sherlock Holmes to solve a crime for me [...]

Rosicky's rotten luck might curtail his Arsenal career; seeing the human side of footballers

By |2017-05-19T20:12:01+01:00August 13th, 2015|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries|3 Comments

Another day, another rumour of an injury spell on the sidelines, this time for poor old Tommy Rosicky. If the rumours are to be believed, then he'll need surgery on his knee and an anticipated spell in the treatment room will see him unable to take part in any games for the next two months. [...]
