It is funny how the end result often makes such a dramatic impact on how you feel about a game. Because when the final whistle went I felt relief at fact we'd managed to hold on. Having been in the ground on that infamous day at St James' Park in which we drew 4-4 having [...]
I didn't blog yesterday on account of a bit of a stinking hangover, but also I didn't really have much motivation after that disappointing performance against Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime. I did however put the football on whilst I was cooking yesterday, so was able to see Liverpool get utterly beat up against a [...]
What a disappointing performance that was yesterday. And there is emphasis on the word 'performance' really, because that's what I think warrants more discussion and debate than the actual result itself. We all love the FA Cup. We've seen Arsenal win it more than most and certainly in the last 20 odd years Arsenal have [...]
A win is a win is a win. Am I right? Arsenal got that win - their fourth in a row - courtesy of a superb Emile Smith-Rowe finish and then a much needed Aubameyang goal in extra time, but whilst we can all agree that was a laboured performance last night, what I think [...]
Morning folks. Welcome to Christmas week. It's the holiday season for me now; a good two week's off work and I couldn't be happier about that. It has also given me an opportunity to wake up on the right side of the bed as far as Arsenal are concerned. I mean don't get me wrong, [...]
I believe I have some very real fears and trepidation about today’s game at Elland Road. The preparation the Arsenal players have had in the build up to this hasn’t been ideal, with injuries, COVID and the form of some of our players, plus I have some bad memories of defeats going up there I [...]
Well here we are, back to the proper football weekend's, which also means some words of wisdom from our young manager. Mikel Arteta had his press conference yesterday and talked about the proposed bust up of Luiz and Ceballos, the international breaks, as well as team news ahead of the weekend as we show down [...]
If ever you wanted an example of footballers not living in the normal world, it comes courtesy of Willian who supposedly if you read some of the stories from yesterday, decided to head off to Dubai during this international break. In normal times that'd be ok if he's been given a few days off but [...]
Morning folks and happy Saturday unto thee. I went to bed at 12am last night having taken receipt of a beer machine that allows you to put a can or bottle in a portable tap thing, then pour a draught pint, but unfortunately my body clock does not afford me a lie in these days, [...]
That was a disgusting performance last night from Arsenal. It was cowardly, lacked intensity and, frankly, should be worthy of some serious examination and change by the club in the cold light of day this morning. If last week it was time to hold our hands up and admit that Arteta got the approach and [...]
