Leicester: restart that run Arsenal

No time for losing ourselves in a metaphorical cave of melancholy made by a weekend derby defeat, as it's bottom of the league Leicester who make their way to The Emirates this evening. It's a game that you'd say should be the perfect type of match for us to play in such quick succession after [...]

Lost the battle, but win the war?

It's like the Metropolitan Line is trying to protect me from a day of ghastly Spud ribbing at work, as I stand here on Uxbridge station writing today's blog, waiting for a tube train delayed that is rarely late these days. But unfortunately it will only delay the inevitable and Gooners everywhere will no doubt [...]

Spuds: we were the dope on a rope

I don't really feel like writing today's blog. I'm almost doing it this Sunday morning, purely out of habit rather than desire, because I feel like just forgetting yesterday's match even happened. The second that Harry Kane second goal went in, I got up from the heavily weighted Spud pub that I was in, walked [...]

Excited NLD countdown, with ridiculous optimism for 2015

With the countdown to the North London Derby (NLD) now well underway, the speculation on team line-up has never been so intriguing, from what I can see online and with people I speak to in real life. Us Gooners are collectively salivating over the possible options and, for the first time since I don't know [...]

Transfer-schmansfer, our squad options get me excited

Do you know, in all the commotion and emotions of winning yet another football game and keeping yet another clean sheet, I completely forgot that yesterday was Transfer Deadline Day? How remiss of me. How terrible that I did not feed the behemoth that is the last day of the January silly season, by counting [...]

Form throughout the squad will serve us well

Don't really know what I was worried about yesterday. Perhaps I'd read too much into the various pre-game tactical analysis about Villa, coupled it with the reappearance of the worst ref in the league Antony Taylor, then rebooted a few old memories of past discrepancies against our Midland opponents yesterday. I probably should have looked [...]

Le boss in fine fettle and the club in form; what we all want, right?

Arsene took on the press yesterday and, as expected I suppose given our form and the announcement of a signing to talk about in the shape of Gabriel, he was in quite a jovial mood. I must say, it is much more preferable to me when everyone is a little bit more happier. I think [...]

Benjy loves football, Rosicky and the FA Cup

It's Ben today giving his thoughts on last weekend and the FA Cup in general. I'll be back tomorrow with a dissection of what Arsène said in his pre-villa presser. Chris We've been told in recent weeks that The FA Cup has been becoming secondary and it's losing it's appeal. Last weekend begged to differ. [...]

It's finally happened (in more ways than one)

It's finally happened. After waiting for so long, Arsenal announced the signing of Gabriel from Villareal for the now standard princely sum of "undisclosed fee". When I say 'finally happened', it has a few meanings of course. Firstly, given our general knowledge about the transfer for about a week now, it was finally announced after [...]

Squad form leading to rotation for Arsène?

Do you think that Arsenal deliberately hold on to transfer announcements, just to troll the entire Arsenal supporting social media world? Feels like it, doesn't it? So perhaps it should come as no surprise that we're all still waiting on the Gabriel Paulista announcement (as I type), because Arsenal are masters of the 'shall we? [...]
