Well how about that for an FA Cup draw, eh? Sutton from the conference up against Arsenal from the Premier League, with a little bit more spice added to the tie with the news that the Nando's lover himself, Craig Eastmond, plays for Sutton and will probably be starting in their side to play us [...]

Morning all. It's back to Blighty, back to the office, which means back to my daily commute and blogging as a result and having had nearly two weeks to relax in the Caribbean sun, I feel somewhat rejuvenated when it comes to The Arsenal too. I managed to watch the Burnley game on a stream, [...]

Team balance and dynamic good for Watford win

I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to writing this blog today. Having spent a large part of the summer in the transfer doldrums, then seeing our start to the season completely disrupted by injuries and the failure to adequately prepare for the season openers, the tone of my writing hasn't been [...]

Oracles speak, groups get grouped and Arsenaldom feels a little brighter

So, as with all Arsenal transfers, sh*t doesn't really get real until yer man David Ornstein gives out a little titbit of information via the medium of Twitter. I think it's something like stage four of a five stage process, to be honest with you, with the final stage just being the medical, confirm terms between [...]

A very Arsenal end of season result

Well, yesterday was a bit more fun, wasn't it? Four goals, dominant throughout, an Arsenal team with fluidity and movement and some very promising performances. Yessir, we can all be happy after a game like that, can't we? And yet, despite my pleasure at being able to actually watch Match of the Day yesterday evening, [...]

Watford: The surgical precision of Ozil is needed today

So here we find ourselves, at the beginning of April, with all but the tiniest glimmer of hope that a Premier League title challenge remains. Were it to be City and Chelski duking it out at the top of the division, we'd all be looking at what reinforcements Arsenal need to make after another disappointing [...]

Is everyone still alive?

So we can finally bid adieu to this latest round of international friendlies and hopefully with a bit of luck, the damage will be negligible for Arsenal players returning to the club today and tomorrow, for Watford at home on Saturday.  I didn't bother watching the England vs The Netherlands game except for a two [...]

Arsenal are broken

The title of today's blog pretty much sums up my mood about the club at the momentum. It is broken. Defeat at home to Watford yesterday wasn't unexpected. In fact pre game, as I talked about the possibility of Wembley with my fellow drinking partners for the afternoon, in the back of my mind there [...]
