Ask any Arsenal fan what they want their team to do more than anything else, and the answer you’ll get will always be the same. Win. Simple as that. But if you ask the same fan how the best way to get the team winning more regularly would work, then prepare yourself for a myriad [...]

News of Abou Diaby being ruled out for up to nine months was gut-wrenching if not entirely shocking. There was a depressing inevitability that the next setback for Arsenal’s French midfielder was waiting round the corner, ready to pounce when we were most vulnerable. A cruciate ligament tear is merely the latest in a line [...]

It’s never easy being an Arsenal fan, but the last year or so has been particularly taxing, even for the staunch optimists among us. I’ve read a lot of blogs and articles over the past couple of weeks and have been surprised at just how much opinions have changed. It’s really interested me because I [...]

Watching the Arsenal first team recently hasn’t been pretty. It’s plain to see that despite some early optimism, we aren’t title contenders. It’s also disheartening to see that despite the quality in our side, we’re losing to teams like Norwich and struggling to beat QPR. The match against Manchester United on Saturday further highlighted the [...]

Football is a hard sport to follow sometimes, not because it’s complicated or anything like that but because of the range of emotions it can cycle you through in the shortest period of time.  Last night, as Newcastle travelled to Chelsea and Sp*rs faced Bolton, Arsenal fans, for the majority, were left feeling incredibly nervous [...]

Well, well, well, what a surprise we all go yesterday eh? Not only a relatively big name signing but one that was announced in advance of the transfer window even opening.  It seems like lessons might actually have been learnt after last summer after all. We’d heard Podolski might be coming/was coming but in true [...]

There is, as has come to be the fashion, very little by way of Arsenal news since our draw at the weekend.  Sp*rs and Chelsea both picking up wins yesterday means that it is now imperative that we win both our remaining games, do that and we simply can’t be caught.  While we can hope [...]

By the time kick off arrived yesterday I was rather excited, I’d seen their line-up, noted ours and thought that we were in for a display akin to what we saw against Man City.  Unfortunately it seemed as if the handbrake was on and no amount of shifting it would get it off.  I know [...]

Saturday and no Arsenal but that’s not overly a bad thing.  I know, like the rest of you, I’d love it if Arsenal could play every day but at this time of the year with every point worth it’s weight in Champions League gold I’ll take an extra 24 hours rest for the players and [...]

Weeks aren’t half long without Arsenal eh?  Yesterday saw quite some excitement explode across Twitter as it was announced that Jack would take part in a behind doors friendly tonight against Birmingham Reserves.  I know I speak for just about everyone when I say how much we’ve missed him this season.  Selling Fabregas and then [...]

The thing about being out of every cup competition is that you only have one game a week, but that’s ok with me.  With a squad more fragile than wafer-thin glass and Champions League for next season not yet guaranteed, I’m ok with only having one game a week.  Yep, I’m one of those infuriating [...]

In the last few seasons we have all had to sit idly by and watch as this Arsenal team did its utmost to throw away whatever it had come close to achieving in the previous months of the season.  This year we seem to have tried to reverse that approach and, as I write this [...]

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 [...]

I like it when we don’t have to wait too long for Arsenal games. I’m sure the players could probably do with a few extra days, but for fans, playing on Wednesday then Saturday is as about as good as it gets. If I had my way we’d play every day. Then again, I don’t [...]

Not too long ago there was a lot of gloating from Sp*rs fans. ‘Mind the gap’ was their particular favourite. We tried to tell them that nothing is decided in January, but would they listen? Oh no, the best side that Sp*rs had seen in the last 50 years was far superior than the worst [...]

It is finally here. No, not the summer, or even the spring, but Arsenal. Nine long, boring days have passed and we finally get to watch them play. Of course, if you live in the UK, this means watching an illegal stream if you wish to watch them live. I’d pay you Premier League to [...]
