It's difficult to start anywhere except the non-Arsenal footballer Cheick Tiote, who died at age 30 yesterday on a Chinese training pitch. Your heart goes out to the family at this time and hearing somebody being taken so young really is a tragic state of affairs. I'm 34 and to hear of somebody dying at [...]
This will probably be a shorter blog than usual, because I'm away with family for the weekend and so have only watched a few of the highlights, so some of the thoughts below are based purely on seeing the result after the game. Broadly speaking, a draw away to the champions is a normally nothing [...]
So it's another day and another new signing to not get too excited about. We're at T-minus four days until our season starts and it's the third day since we saw Gabriel's injury. And there's only been a sniff of 'Arsenal are thinking-about-asking-about-maybe-there-might-be-an-outside-chance-of-bidding-for' a defender who other teams even seem to be pulling out of [...]
I find it a little sad that despite an absolutely thumping victory - albeit against a poor Norweigen side in Viking FK - most of the talk after the game and today amongst Arsenal fans, is the post match comments about signings that he made. Certainly if you read just the written word about what [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Well here we are folks, finally after a whole summer of much anger, irritation and frustration from many Arsenal fans, after today we get to put all of the to one side and concentrate on just the football. It's the dreaded 'Transfer Deadline Day' and if I'm completely honest with you, for the last couple [...]
I tried so hard to motivate myself to get up from a comfy lounger in the garden and watch the Ireland vs England match, but what with the sun being glorious and the prospect of end of season international friendlies being anything but, I just couldn't do it. There was one period - just after [...]
Well what have we hear? Good news and returning players from injury? Is that cause for optimism I see galloping over the horizon, heading towards us at a rate of miles per hour? Sort of, I guess, because until we win some back-to-back games, which seems as likely as a Ched Evans apology right now, [...]
