An away trip to Old Trafford for The Arsenal today to a ground in which, quite frankly, we've been woeful at for about a decade. It really is quite staggering that our last win was ten years ago, where an Adebayor goal secured a 1-0 score line. Since then it's pretty much be exclusive disappointment, [...]
I'm excited for today's game, I can tell you, and not just because the team are testing themselves against arguably the best club side in the world. Nope, I'm also exciting because as far as I'm concerned, this game and the one at the Nou Camp in a couple of weeks' time are 'freebies' in [...]
I hope the planets aren't seemingly aligning for us to give us a false sense of security. What I mean by that is three fold: Hull City's hectic fixture scheduling Steve Bruce has already admitted he's going to have to rotate his squad for those players who haven't played much recently. He's bidding for a [...]
With the fallout from the Leicester City game still taking place, I found myself reliving some of the dramatic moments yesterday by taking in a few blogs and watching a new video of the game at the weekend with somewhat of a decent production value and a little bit of dramatic music thrown in too. [...]
So here we are. We've arrived at the biggest game of the season for Arsenal and unlike anyone would have predicted, it's a home match against Leicester. That could very well define our season. We've all been talking about it all week with friends, family, people we know online, people at work, Arsenal fans and [...]
Good ol' Arsène and his day early pressers. He's enabled me to talk about the game ahead on Sunday a day early, which is great, because I've been dying to sink my teeth in to it. Well, I have been and still am, but that doesn't mean I won't be absolutely bricking it come Sunday. [...]
I wonder if there was a conversation between Theo and Arsène, before Walcott talked up the teams 'mental strength' post Stoke away. It does seem as though that interview was straight out of the Arsenal Wenger handbook on how to talk up your team, so perhaps after ten years in his regular presence, Le Boss' [...]
Stoke away is up there as one of those 'least desirable' fixtures I look for at the beginning of the season. If I was given the choice, I'd probably want it to appear at the start of each season, so it can be just got out of the way. A bit like ripping of a [...]
Having not watched the game last night due to the celebration of The Management's birthday, it's interesting for me to see the overall context of a point at Anfield, in comparison to those I follow online or the narrative of the oft biased Liverpool-favouring media. Many Arsenal fans seemed to be virtually throwing their hands [...]
So no real upsets from yesterday's round of matches, saving plucky Spuds earning themselves a money-spinning and lucrative draw against title chasers Leicester City, or Oxford beating a woefully out-of-form Swansea. Actually, the fact that the Tiny Totts have another fixture to cram in to their schedule is probably a good thing from our perspective, [...]
