Is Monchi all that for Arsenal?

Today's blog starts off with a nod to a career that should have been, after Abou Diaby officially retired from football at just 32 years of age. In nine years at Arsenal he showed us mere fleeting glances of what could have been a fantastic career that was cut short by a malicious 'leave one [...]

Go attacking again against the Saints, Unai

Howdy folks. Match day. Best day of the week. Well, usually is, especially when it's a home game and usually I'm off to The Arsenal but this week I have a family event that prevents me from going. I'm not bitter. Much. It's a religious thing as well so I'm hoping that my sacrifice that [...]

Rennes will be a new challenge, hopefully with Özil a bit more involved

So our reward for the huffing and puffing against BATE Borisov is a couple of games against Rennes of Ligue Un and I think on the face of it, none of us can be too sad about that, because on paper I suppose they are one of the weaker teams. The thing is though, we [...]

Couple of wobbles, but routine result in the end for The Arsenal

I guess it all worked out in the end. So we can be pleased we're still in the hat. But my word we don't half have to huff and puff to get results at the moment. After the debacle that was the away first leg to BATE, one could forgive us Arsenal fans for feeling [...]

Waiting for Unai and Özil to skip out together

Alright? Having a good'un? Waiting patiently for some form of team news to deep through about tomorrow night's game? I hear ya. Totally in the same boat. I wonder if Unai is dreading the inevitable "are you gonna ply Özil then?" Questions from the media? He'll surely get fired a few and usually there's a [...]

The Arsenal ‘hashtag outs’ and ‘hashtag ins’ have flipped

By |2019-02-19T08:20:40+00:00February 19th, 2019|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, gooners, Gunners, History, Rant|1 Comment

It's the Tuesday after an Arsenalless weekend and I'll be honest with you, it feels as painfully slow as an international break. The club news is relatively benign, there's little excitement to speak of from a football perspective and as I wrote the other day we have a fan base that appear to be finding [...]

Özil and Emery: War’s a brewin’

Unai Emery is the man with the power to pick the team and so Özil has little else with which to strike back if he isn't playing. Which is why he - with inevitable backing and collaboration of his PR Team too - decided to post a not-so-subtle message last night on social media: When [...]

Boring boring Arsenal (for all the wrong reasons)

Well that wasn't a whole heap of fun yesterday evening was it? To coin a phrase from Steve McCroskey in Airplane!: Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop drinking. Being off the booze in Feb meant I had to sit through more than 90 minutes of that dross that Unai Emery's players served [...]

Top Four countdown starts now for Arsenal

Morning folks. Happy Chinese New Year if you're so inclined to celebrate it. Me personally, I'm half celebrating because my company is predominantly Asian based and so whilst I don't get the day off like many of them do, I have to say it's rather nice having a week where I can play catch up [...]
