No time for talking about Barcelona (though I bet I can’t get through the rest of this blog without mentioning them again) just yet, we have the small matter of the Premier League to deal with this weekend. So, news ahead of tomorrow’s match against Sunderland is that Kos is back in the squad (no [...]

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. [...]

Finals are a beautiful thing. I can say this now we’ve reached one for the first time since, what is it, one hundred years? What’s that you say? We last reached a final in 2007? Oh, ok then, Arsenal, being Arsenal, made sure that we were all nice and nervous by the time they finally [...]

West Ham today and a chance to start making amends for the dire performances we’ve been forced to endure since the Man City match. The good news is that West Ham will be without Scott Parker who has single-handedly kept them from casting adrift at the bottom of the table. Well, that’s how it looks [...]

Well, how did that go for you? Has the whole world and everything in it been put right with the turn of the new year? Thought not. Anyways, no time for resolutions or hangovers, we have a very tricky game away at Birmingham to concern ourselves with today so that’s what we should do. Birmingham [...]

Night’s like last night have been few and very far between for Arsenal and us Gooners in recent years. Pre-match there were nerves, but a sense of fatalism about a lot of people as well. Personally, I wasn’t nervous which was weird. I was of the mind-set that ‘what would be would be’ and had [...]

Well there really only is one story today – Barcelona in the Champions League and while you could quite easily say ‘it could only be them’ it was simply the ‘luck’ of the draw – no conspiracy theories here. So some people are terrified, some people are gagging for it, and some people are just [...]

So here it is folks, back for the season, and as that’s a long ‘aul haul I shall be breaking it up in to two competitions. We will have a mid-season ‘winner’ – so whoever is top of the league on December 31st will win a Tshirt. The league will continue on from then, so [...]

I find myself very conflicted today. On the one hand I know that we didn’t see the energy levels from the team that we were expecting last night, but on the other hand I can see that they were very nervous and scared more about conceding than scoring. The way Arsenal play, patient, patient, patient, [...]

Well, it seemed like it took an eternity to arrive, but here we are, close to kick-off with nerves-a-jangling. Or are they? It has been a long time since I last saw so many Gooners so confident before a match at Old Trafford. Sure there is the odd person panicking, fearing a defensive collapse, something [...]

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 [...]

Ok, ok. It’s time to move on. The weekend is something we will come back to no doubt, but for now, we have a match in the Champions League to look ‘forward’ to and for the sake of all our sanity’s I think that’s what we should do. I bet by the end of this [...]

God almighty I hope Arsenal have shares in a health company because the number of heart attacks brought on by last night’s match must surely have been in their thousands. I can’t remember the last time I was so nervous as a match drew to a close. So often we have watched our team throw [...]

If you’ve come here today looking to be cheered up, I’d advise leaving. If you read my blog after West Ham last week, you know where this is going. I closed that blog by saying: “The question you have to ask though is why is it against the ‘smaller’ teams at home that we always [...]
