With a game just over 24 hours away there is little by way of Arsenal team news but with Arsene’s press conference later today that is likely to change.  Because I love you all so much I went digging around the interweb for some info you might fight interesting, this is what I found. In [...]

Arsenal travelled to QPR on the back of a seven game winning streak. The fans who had spent a large part of the season spitting bile, hatred and spewing predictions that we would lucky to finish top ten were nowhere to be seen.  For a short time Arsenal land was a happy place.  One defeat [...]

I’d asked in yesterday’s blog if we could quite possibly have a professional, comfortable win against Villa to give our blood pressure a rest. I’d went online and bet on a 3-0 win with Theo scoring. Perhaps I should have asked for a few other things while I was at it. It was a rare [...]

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 [...]

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 have a mid-season ‘winner’ but now the league will continue on, so all points won up until December 31st will carry forward and the overall winner will be [...]

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 [...]

A quick round-up today of what’s been happening as I’m sure most of you have places you need to be. With our match away at Birmingham tomorrow at tea-time (that’s 5.30pm GMT) we had Wenger’s press conference today. It was a relatively run-of-the-mill affair. Here are the highlights: – The squad will be approximately what [...]

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 [...]

Snow is very pretty, but it doesn’t have f**k things up in the UK. No football at the weekend, well, none that really interested Arsenal fans unless you felt like reminding yourself how good Barcelona are, and we now have another week to go before we can watch Arsenal take to the pitch. Fun huh? [...]

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, [...]

One day, it the not too distant future, I envisage a utopia, a land where Arsenal fans no longer need cardiac care when Arsenal take to the field against so-called ‘weaker’ opposition. Perhaps it was my own fault, after all, I had the temerity to expect Arsenal to brush Partizan aside in the same way [...]

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 [...]

Arsenal Subs: Szczesny, van Persie, Walcott, Denilson, Djourou, Gibbs, Bendtner Aston Villa Subs: Guzan, Ireland, Delfouneso, Beye, Hogg, Lichaj, Herd ——————————- Arsenal don’t like to make it easy on us, but today, the reason for the nerves came not from Arsenal but because of one single decision by the officials. We dominated from first minute [...]

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 [...]
