Over the weekend I didn't really have time to compile any thoughts with what happened with the breaking Vardy news which started on Friday lunchtime, so I thought I'd add some thoughts in now, albeit slightly delayed and probably nothing you haven't thought of read about somewhere else (way to 'sell' the blog to your [...]
Today I embark on a journey that will see me climb the UK's three biggest 'peaks' (although I have some kiwis in my team that assure me that they're just 'inclines' - they would know I guess) in the space of 24 hours and, if you were to see the amount of paraphernalia I have [...]
Thursday afternoon drinking seems like a good idea at the time, but when you wake up on the Friday to make the hour-long commute on public transportation, you realise that it's probably not the best idea in the world. Still, it is Friday, the weekend is upon us and although there is no Arsenal to [...]
Is it symptomatic of modern day Arsenal, that the club are currently running a story about the fact the goal against Norwich, involved a passage of sustained possession which led to Welbeck's good finish? I get that it's lovely to see that sort of action when it comes off, but on a day where media [...]
Yesterday I mooted the idea that I wouldn't blog today, but who am I kidding, right? I am as ingrained in writing this daily musing of all things Arsenal, as Arsene Wenger is of giving players 'just one more chance' when they've already had enough for 12 lifetimes. So here I am today before you, [...]
This is going to be a challenging blog to write today. Challenging in the sense that I suspect at times I'm going to come across as angry. As The Management often says to me though: I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed. So the challenge is conveying a person who is not angry. I really am [...]
I love the idea that when Mohammed Elneny conducted his interview on the official site yesterday, after being awarded the Arsenal Player of the Month award, he had a maniacal glint in his eyes as he said to the camera "this is only the beginning". The thought of somebody with somewhat comical hair styling could secretly [...]
They say it's always darkest before dawn. Well, as Arsenal fans this morning, we'd love to know just how much more darker it's going to get, because quite frankly it's pretty bleak at the moment. Bleak. That sounds like a haven right now. A Mecca. A dream in which there appears to be a modicum [...]
With the mood decidedly (and understandably) sour since the weekend's debacle against FC Youth of Manchester, tonight represents what Arsène would call an opportunity to show our 'fight' and 'mental strength' against a battling Seansea side that are looking closely towards movements at the bottom of the table. For Arsenal it's a shot at recovery, [...]
Today's thoughts are coming with an opening paragraph disclaimer: I am not going to be nice about the team or the manager today. I have been stewing on yesterday's result since the final whistle went and where sometimes time can be a healer and cause me to try to be a little bit more objective, [...]
