I feel like I've been a mellow Gooner this summer. Whilst others around me have wavered, have shown a much more vocal level of irritation with the club's policy, I've maintained my stance that I think the squad is balanced with enough quality players and that although I'd like to see a couple of players [...]

Last night I woke up just before midnight to the most brain-stabbingly painful headache at the back of my bonce, I thought my head was going to explode like I was on the Mars surface in Total Recall. I suspect it was just my body rejecting the 6,624,253rd rumour about Benzema signing. There's only so [...]

Rosicky's rotten luck might curtail his Arsenal career; seeing the human side of footballers

By |2017-05-19T20:12:01+01:00August 13th, 2015|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, injuries|3 Comments

Another day, another rumour of an injury spell on the sidelines, this time for poor old Tommy Rosicky. If the rumours are to be believed, then he'll need surgery on his knee and an anticipated spell in the treatment room will see him unable to take part in any games for the next two months. [...]

Here we are. After all the summer waiting, anticipating and hoping, we've arrived at the start of the Premier League season with the first weekend. It's a bit of a funny one though, because we're not playing tomorrow, so it only really half feels like the Premier League starts in earnest today. The up side [...]

Whilst hearing the news yesterday about Mattieu Flamini and his probable departure this summer (to Bastia or Galatasaray, depending on who you believe), I began to ponder Arsène's next move in the fabled 'DM' position. It's an interesting one because there is no simple hard and fast answer. There are so many different options open [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

Rosicky masters (sort of) safe passage to round five

After a weekend of some surprising Premier League bloody noses, when I sat down to watch The Arsenal take on Brighton, the one thing that really settles the nerves is a nice and tasty early goal. So when Calum Chambers found Walcott in a bit of space inside the box after a minute and a [...]
