DB’s Season Diary Week 36 – Argue or Celebrate? There wasn’t much time to bask in our over celebrations after reaching the FA Cup final, with a real chance of picking up our first trophy in nine thousand years, due to a must win game at home to West Ham on Tuesday. There wasn’t a […]
I hope this reaches you in good spirits. In fact, I hope this reaches you at all. If things didn’t go as we’d hoped on Saturday I’m not sure how many of you will have done a Reggie Perrin. I said last week that it can be a bit strange, let alone difficult, to write this as […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 34 This is one of those strange times I occasionally encounter when writing this diary the way I do, when as I write there is absolutely jack shit going on. The respectable draw with Manchester City at the weekend meant there was no Monday morning meltdown, the lack of a fixture […]
Week 32 – Virtual Insanity I’ve said a couple of times this season that it can be difficult to write when things are going well for Arsenal, as there is far less to dwell on or debate over when everybody is happy. If I can just ask you one favour, and that is if you ever […]
Week 32 – I Don’t Want to Go to Chelsea As I have said many times, I write this diary the way I do to look at what we go through as supporters during the season, in particular how things can change over the course of a season, a month, a week, a day or a […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 31 Remember last week, when all we wanted was a full strength team against Everton to put us through to the semi final of the FA Cup? Remember when we weren’t too bothered about the second leg in Munich, as we were never going to win the Champions League anyway? Remember […]
DB’s Season Diary Week 30 Tuesday 4th March 2014 – Armageddon is Upon Us As I write this I have no idea if it will reach you, as the impending apocalypse we have been warned of draws ever closer. The Prophets of Doom have warned us of such times since the infamous Summer of Suffering, […]
Week Twenty Nine – Anyone Fancy a Pint? Welcome to the Twitter Arms So, losing to Stoke, being four points off the top, overtaken by Liverpool and the end of our season. Fun weekend, eh? I had planned on talking about the reaction and over-reaction to the result, but quite frankly I’m sick to the back teeth […]
Week Twenty Eight – What a difference a game makes As I’ve said before, the whole reason I write this season diary is to look at how our moods and reactions change over the course of the season, which they do on not just a weekly basis, but by the day, hour, minute and second as […]
Week Twenty Seven – Post Apocalyptic Shit Sandwiches and the Real World Did you miss me? I took a week off from writing last week, as I was too busy to do so, and it turned out to be not such a bad thing in the end. As you know I try to be as positive […]
