You know how there are always divisions amongst fanbases on issues, right, and particularly among Arsenal fans? Well, today I fancy talking about Mesut Özil, who seems to be flavour of the month in terms of dividing people. But interestingly enough, it's not the Arsenal fanbase I'm looking at today, but the media. Because it's [...]
I'm still buzzing about the result on Monday night. More so than I thought I'd be actually. Probably more so because I know there's a Wembley semi final that lies in wait and, although we can't be presumptive enough to assume we'll waltz our way into the final (see Wigan last season as a case [...]
Much like Chelski and Tiny Totts are to us all metaphor ally speaking, I have a real pain in my neck this morning, which caused me no amount of irritation when trying to get to sleep last night. Honestly, it's like Jose Mourinho himself had pulled up a chair and started jabbing me in the [...]
With The Management in situ, blue skies overhead, as well as the ability to share some of the amber nectar before the game after a month off it, Arsenal duly delivered exactly what was needed on Sunday lunchtime with a serving of delicious three-pointage.It doesn't really matter that it was closer than we would have [...]
I usually avoid any kind of football topics that aren't Arsenal related, but after seeing Jose Mourinho's less than subtle attempt to have more air time to push through his own personal agenda through the medium of Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday, I feel compelled to say something through my own soapbox platform, which is [...]
I don't know why, but yesterday's game with Crystal Palace felt like a really big result, in the context of our Premier League season. There were many people I spoke to during the week who were pretty convinced that we were going to go to Selhurst Park and sweep aside a Palace side who have [...]
With the Crystal Palace game about 30 hours away, all of the focus turns back towards the Premier League today with Le Boss' press conference ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park. We've already had an injury update from the manager, confirming that Ramsey is three days in to a three week rehab programme, as [...]
Today, I will mostly be talking about...Olivier Giroud. The reason for this is a hybrid of things I read, said, heard and watched yesterday, all linked to our appealing Frenchman. Yesterday I noted that his form has been excellent and, after tweeting that I thought he could be on for 20 goals this season, I [...]
I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet this morning and no, it isn't because we're away to United (although that is severe Sucksville, but more on that in a bit) in the FA Cup, but it's about media narrative and rhetoric around diving and English players. In August 2009 a penalty awarded [...]
So. Ermmm. The 7th of Feb wasn't great was it. BUT THE 10TH WAS. SO LETS TALK ABOUT THAT INSTEAD *weeps uncontrollably* It's incredible how quickly football changes. How your outlook on things can be quickly reversed with the swing of someone's boot. I've decided in the last few days that at least 40% of [...]
