I tried to watch the Champions League last night, but soon got bored after the two favoured teams to go through pretty much made light work of their opponents, with Porto discovering that beating a Bayern team in the first leg only makes them angry. They should have taken a leaf from our book and [...]
I don't know how Mikel Arteta does it you know. Or Tomas Rosicky. Yesterday evening I lumbered my way around a five-a-side pitch for an hour, picking up two blood blisters on the soles of my big toes, as well as aches in parts of my body that I didn't know could get aches.Perhaps it [...]
If I was to try to to do the keyword tagging and search engine optmisation of the Arsenal team manifested in physical form today, the one word I would lace throughout any team talk or mindset or thoughts going through each players mind would be: concentration, non-complacency. These are the two things that we must [...]
It's nearly here folks, time is almost upon us and although it's not the FA Cup final but the seminar Wembley, I'm still mega excited. Imagine what I'll be like tomorrow when it actually comes around to kick off?We have already had the prologue from Arsène; possibly eager to cocoon the players in a hotel [...]
Today's game is certainly an interesting one. One the one hand you have an Arsenal team in a rich vein of form, coupled with a Burnley team in 19th position and having scored just 14 goals all season.But on the other hand you had an Arsenal team that have made a nasty little habit of [...]
What's all this talk about Jack Wilshere then, eh? As I trudged my way home from work yesterday evening, stopping only momentarily to offer a cursory nod of thanks to the free newspaper dispenserer, I noticed that the back pages were partially awash with talk about Wilshere possibly facing an exit from Arsenal with Juventus, Man [...]

She's been up since about 5am crying and has soaked me through on my two minute walk to the tube station.You know how sugar is really bad for you and how you shouldn't eat anything other than natural sugars? Or [...]
Aaron Ramsey has a confession to make: he loves a bit of Coq behind him. Speaking to the official site, I think this was the second or third time that he has specifically referenced Francis Coquelin for singled out praise, talking about how much ground he covers and how many tackles he wins. It's no surprise [...]
Match day today and a 3pm kick off too. That's two weekend's in a row. The TV companies obviously have forgotten about Arsenal in the league. Good, hopefully we'll get more of that. Well, I say good, but I'm actually a little cheesed off about this fixture, because I normally go up north to see [...]
Arsenal winning the Premier League this season is about as possible as a solar eclipse...It's Friday, we're all hopefully feeling fine and good, plus we've got plenty of information that has been furnished on us from the club yesterday in the form of the pre-match presser from Le Boss.Arsène must have as much of an [...]
