Has there ever been a more comfortable and one-sided final? Have we ever seen Arsenal do it the easy away in a big game, with such verve and vigour? Does this happen to us? Arsenal are supposed to make our lives difficult, aren't they? Apparently not. Apparently there is an 'easy way' and all we [...]
We're on a countdown to a cup final week this weekend, which has been made a little easier thanks to the Bank Holiday in England, because it means a shorter working week. The day off also enabled me to fill my Monday with all manner of things to do, which meant I didn't have to [...]
I really feel like keeping this blog to one line reading: "For an analysis of last night's game, see the Swansea game, only Sunderland didn't have the killer touch that the team from Wales had" It felt exactly the same, almost, didn't it? I mean, you had a team who essentially decided that the perfect [...]
Thank some sort of deity that it's Friday. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I've had a shocking week - Arsenal result aside - I've just had enough of the proverbial stuff thrown at me work-wise that I'll be grateful for a few days off. Plus the league have deemed it acceptable for us [...]
The phrase 'let your football do the talking' has never been more obvious than after a defeat like Monday's one to Swansea, because the website is littered with post match fallout from Wenger, Wilshere and Mertesacker. It's kind of funny actually, because in the last six weeks or so there's been practically nothing from the [...]
Securing the return of St Totteringham's Day milestone was just the start. Now we enter the crucial part of the season in which when we look back over the summer we either go 'this was the beginning of New Arsenal' or 'meh'. Progress has been made - the players all know that and have spoken [...]
So here we are folks, standing in the middle of metaphorical desert of football nothingness, with the oasis of Arsenal delight miles and miles away in the distance. It'll take us at least until Monday to get to it, so I hope everyone has bough provisions? I have, thanks to Arsène, who spoke at his [...]
After Chelski's win yesterday all but confirmed them as Champions, I'm preferring to look on the positive side of life, rather than accept that evil has prevailed this Premier League season. For example, when Chelski beat Crystal Palace this weekend (and we know they will with Palace safely tucked away in mid table), there will [...]
After a pretty decent set of results yesterday, seeing both Spuds and Saints duke out a draw and Liverpool fail to score against West Brom away, we come to some proper football today and an opportunity to almost certainly confirm Champions League status against the eventual champions of this season in Chelski. I think first [...]
It's Thursday, the countdown to the top of the table clash between us and Chelski is now rolling in to full-on 'countdown', the players are starting to trickle out little tit-bits of information and Arsène will no doubt give us an injury update later on today before addressing the press tomorrow (unless his pressed is [...]
