Hello hello you wonderful peers of mine. I hope you're not too caught up in your own inner torment and moroseness as we hit the halfway point in the week. The bad taste of a weekend defeat may still be lingering like a little morning breath (despite having brushed your teeth to within an inch [...]
The fallout from the weekend's game still appears to be reverberating around the social media sphere, with Arsenal fans still disappointed with the opening weekend's result, but time will hopefully heal. It just takes a little longer when you have no frame of reference i.e. It's the first game of the season and you don't [...]
The Arsenal murmurs at the moment appear to surround the potential lengthy absence of Wilshere through injury and if it is as bad as being rumoured - out until approaching the New Year - then there is real cause for concern for everyone. Not so much for the squad, because I think we have the players [...]
I've noticed quite a trend developing in young players who go out on loan - sign a new deal first, then get shipped out. It's obviously to protect the club their contract is owned by, retaining the players value, but it does surprise me that it happens so often. We had Joel Campbell last January [...]
One of the most pleasing outcomes of yesterday's victory over Chelski was, for me, the response of Jose Mourinho. This is a man who has no qualms over having pops at other managers with whom he does not have a good relationship with, so to see him frustrated enough to bemoan Arsenal's tactics yesterday, was [...]
This morning I read Mr Positive himself, Paul Merson, talking about this weekend's Community Shield. He's predicting an Arsenal win, which is nice, irregardless of the context of the game or whether either side can truly be as 'up for it' as a Premier League game. But that's not what drew my attention to write [...]
"You want a striker?" Yes. "You want a striker?" Yes. "YOU WANT A STRIKER?" YES! "FINE! Here's a striker. Now get out of my office!" That's what I imagined Arsène's response to be to those people who are practically gnawing their arms off with the fact we haven't signed a striker yet, after it was [...]
Did you ever get told by your mum to ignore the chants of other boys/girls? To brush away callous name-calling with a simple rendition of "sticks and stones"? And did you find it really difficult to understand why your mother didn't tell you to open up a can of whoopass on the individual in question? [...]
Two trophies in as many weekends and a chance next weekend to make it three in a row, against the so-called unbeatable Mourinho, means we're all riding pretty high at the moment. For preseason that is. Yesterday's Emirates Cup victory and subsequent lifting of the trophy may not have had the swagger of Saturday's performance, [...]
Mattieu Flamini to Galatasaray and Wojciech Szczesny to Roma on a one year deal, it seems, if the rumours across multiple newspapers and on radio shows are to be believed. Firstly the Flamster who, if we're all honest, probably knew his time was up at the club. The fact we're picking up a fee for [...]
