Good old Arsenal. Just when I get to the point of feeling like giving up for the season, and start being glad about my schedule forcing me to miss games, we get a couple of great results. Very few sides win at Bayern or Swansea at the moment, and equally few keep clean sheets at [...]

I often regard clichés like ‘glorious defeat’ as nauseatingly patronising, but it would be difficult to find another way of describing Arsenal’s exit from the Champions League on Wednesday night. A 2-0 win in the Allianz Arena against Bayern Munich, when taken out of context, could genuinely be considered one the greatest results in the [...]

After the last seven days, Arsenal came into this one REALLY needing a win. For the oft mentioned eighth year in a row, Arsene Wenger’s side watched the hop of trophies disappear over the horizon, an in more embarrassing circumstances than ever before under his stewardship. For once, the home side didn’t find themselves crippled [...]

This post is brought to you in conjuction with Plan B’s new album, Ill Manors. Which, let’s face it, is kinda apt as we face a weekend trip to that illest of manors- the Britannia Stadium and also because we’ve been accused of lacking the famed “Plan B” pretty much ever since we last won [...]

I was laughing at half-time, a maniacal cackle. After solemnly deciding that the quick, direct passing and intense pressing Arsenal displayed against Spurs last weekend was the template to follow for the rest of the season, we were displaying scant quickness and minimal intensity. Liverpool attacks arrived with the frequency of quizzes in Analog Electronics [...]

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. [...]

The day before our FA Cup replay at Leeds and it is once again quiet in Arsenal-land. The main story on Arsenal.com concerns Chesney and his continued run in the side due to Fabianski’s injury. There were some on Twitter yesterday who were wondering if Fabianski had been ‘injured’ by Arsene. By that, I don’t [...]

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 [...]

Apologies for the lack of blogging yesterday, I’ll not bore you with details of my illness, although some of you might find it funny as it causes me to fall over a lot and look as if I’m hammered without taking a drink, but it put me out of action for two days and then [...]

God my head hurts today. I’d love to say it’s the result of a massive bender, but alas, it’s just the result of dodgy genes. Pah. This is likely to be a quickie today as each keystroke is agony. Tomorrow we have the joy of Leeds arriving at the Emirates for the early kick-off live [...]

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 [...]

Injuries are, once more, the order of the day. Well, it wouldn’t be Arsenal really if they weren’t. Cesc’s hamstring, you know, the evil one, has flared up again and while his removal from the squad for the trip to Shakhtar is being touted as precautionary rather than necessary you can’t help be concerned, especially [...]

First things first and my apologies for getting a few of the scores wrong in yesterday’s blog, I have no excuse. I will say that I wrote that bit at about 3 in the morning after a few of Amsterdam’s finest and that it didn’t impinge on the point I was trying to make, but [...]

Sorry I’m a bit late today, you can blame the torrential rain in Belfast and the fact that apparently motorists here have never seen rain before. Crawl, crawl. Anyways, no time for rambling, we’ve team news to be talking about ahead of tomorrow’s ‘big game’ (described as such by Jack Wilshere on Twitter – how [...]

There is nothing more I enjoy in this world than watching Arsenal win. The thing I like second most in the world is being able to say ‘told you so!.’ Regular readers of this blog will know that I have called and begged for Chesney to be given his chance. I have said he is [...]

This is all very strange isn’t it? Heading in to a Carling Cup match knowing that we are actually taking it quite seriously. It was in evidence at WHL that this had become the case although we did not know before the squad was announced that we would be going for the Carling Cup as [...]
