The transfer window has finally arrived, and with it comes the abhorrent transformation of mature men and women into dead-eyed souls with all the impatience and raw excitement of a small child on Christmas Day. ‘tis the season to pull your hair out, moan, and get excited over something that’s, frankly, pretty futile. But that’s [...]

Reports are coming out of Switzerland that Djourou’s shoulder injury is not as bad as feared and there is talk that he could be fit to play for Switzerland on March 26th. If true, this news is a huge boost to Arsenal as they attempt to win their first Premier League title since 2004. It [...]

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 [...]

Well, what shall I talk about today? The interlull is upon us, pointless international duty threatening to strike down every player who didn’t manage to convince their national team doctor they had the runs, and the media still have their knives out for Arsenal. I wish to discuss none of this, simply because it depresses [...]

I must say, before kick off yesterday I was not expecting an easy match. Sure West Ham were without a few key players, but recently we’ve made such hard work of matches against them that I expected more of the same. Not so. It would be unfair to Arsenal to say that the reason we [...]

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 [...]

Sometimes in football, you don’t always get what you deserve. As we know, you can dominate games for 89 minutes, but one defensive lapse and you lose. On the flip side, you can be so shambolic that you deserve to lose and you somehow manage to get a win. Today’s game against Fulham fell a [...]

Apologies for the lack of blog yesterday, my granda, who is the reason I’m a football fanatic, was turning 80 and I’m sure you can forgive me for prioritising that. Anyway, football, and we have the joy of another home tie tomorrow against (everyone’s favourite ex-Man cnut) Mark Hughes’ Fulham. In today’s press conference Wenger [...]

So, Carling Cup, a trophy that is hard to take seriously after so many years of refusing to do so, but seriously we shall take it. We are, by all reports, playing a relatively experienced team tonight, although Wenger is insisting that the average age of the team will still be quite young. With Van [...]

Wasn’t quite sure I would get time to do a blog today, been out with my nephew all day and heading to see Mr. Nice in person tonight, but given the miracle that has happened at Ashburton Grove Medical Centre it would seem sacreligious not to at least mention it. Yes, in case you haven’t [...]
