There is, as we’ve come to expect between games recently, very little by way of Arsenal news around.   From what I see the majority of stories seem to be dealing with speculation, transfer rumour and general conjecture.  We have, I noticed, signed Podolski for the 37th time. Good stuff. Apart from that there’s talk about [...]

As we reach midpoint in a week without Arsenal there is, unsurprisingly, little of interest worth talking about. Hopefully this means that all our lot are tucked away on the training pitch training their little arses off. The main point of note that I can find this morning is a lot of talk about how [...]

So, the madness that is the transfer window has finished for another season, but the ramifications of this one may be felt for some time to come. Firstly, the fact that Torres joins a Chelsea side who still have to play Man United twice could go a long way in helping us win the league. [...]

No time to dwell on yesterdays match, we have another one tomorrow (nice scheduling FA, thanks) and the prospect for people without tickets in the UK of watching the next three Arsenal matches on an illegal stream as none of them are on the TV. I guess it’s not like we are second in the [...]

Well that was all a little bit embarrassing wasn’t it? It all seemed so routine until Nasri pulled his hamstring (meaning two to three weeks out and missing the Barca first leg). Then we just fell apart. It was all going so well. Sure, we weren’t looking perfect, we never do when we play Arshbend [...]

Apologies for the lack of blogging yesterday, that damn life business again. Gets in the way of everything. Rumours abound that Almunia will start on Sunday and I’m a little bit angry at this. For a start, he’s shit. He’s always been shit, and I don’t care how many times people say to me ‘but [...]

It’s a late blog today because, well, life just got in the way. Bloody annoying when that happens. By now I’m sure you’ve no doubt caught up with all the goings on at Arsene’s pre-match press conference, you know that Squillaci and Diaby are a week away from returning, Vermaelen should be back playing within [...]

West Ham tomorrow and Arsene’s press conference today and there were a lot of sorry’s and promises that the Ipswich match will be put behind us. Guess it’s that easy huh? Early team news and Fabianski has failed a fitness test so Chesney will start in goal with Shea on the bench (as Almunia is [...]

Stoke. Too much talk about Shawcross. It’s making me feel a little bit nauseous if I’m honest, not through fear of another ‘not that kind of player’ tackle, but simply because Shawcross and his pig face makes me feel like throwing up. Not an unreasonable response really. So, poor little Ryan will need extra-security when [...]

When I started watching football, it was on a Saturday. 3pm. If I was lucky, my mum would let me watch the one or two matches on at Easter and over Christmas. It was a weekly fight to watch the one live match on a Sunday, a fight I didn’t win that often. Now, not [...]

Two blogs in one day? Guess I’m trying to make up for some of the days I’ve missed lately due to family commitments. There’ll be a third up later so check back for that. I’m not quite sure how much truth there is in the rumour that Almunia will be allowed to leave in January [...]

So, here we are, Champions League and a match that we need to win to stop some serious doubt setting in. Given that we have failed to win in Portugal, and our tendency to go in to cruise control if we manage to get a single goal (a la Shakhtar) we will get another chance [...]

Common consensus yesterday, gleamed from my comments, twitter and reading other blogs was that the win in the Middle Eastlands was superb. Most people also agreed that Sky did their best to play down the size of our win. Let them, we made a mug of them last year when they ousted us from their [...]
