Week Fourteen – Holidays are coming, Holidays are coming…. You can tell that an international break is upon us just from the hot topics of conversation from around Tuesday onwards. The week began with heated debate over the huge controversy that was, at the end of the day, a footballer celebrating scoring a goal. Such […]
Week Thirteen – What If…. Two huge games this week, the sort of games that are the reason we all love football. A week made more exciting by the fact that we go into this week in decent shape after going five points clear at the top of the league at the weekend. I’ve spoken […]
Week Twelve – And Now You’re Still Not Gonna Believe Us….. This week we played two teams that I have an extreme personal hatred for, and it turned out to be the perfect example of how the emotions we experience throughout the season can change so quickly and dramatically in the course of just a […]
DB’s Season Diary Week Eleven – Ups and Downs and a Bunch of Clowns So, as I missed a week last week, am I right in calling this week’s entry “Week Eleven”, bearing in mind the last entry was two weeks ago, and was titled “Week Nine”, or should I call this week’s entry […]
Week Nine – Stop your pissin’ an’ your dissin’ – you don’t know what you’re missin’ As you read this, I will be busy sunning myself in Lanzarote, most likely with a beer in close vicinity. Due to that fact, and as we have just entered an international break, I’m taking a week off from writing, […]
DB’s Season Diary Week Eight – We Are Still Top Of the League, Enjoy it Well, I don’t know about you, but I go into this international break extremely satisfied. We are top of the Premiership, when if you had believed all the bollocks before a ball had been kicked in anger, we would be […]
Pre-Season Diary The whole reason I write this weekly season diary, and wrote the pre-season diary before it, is to cover the changing moods and emotions we go through as Arsenal supporters from day to day, game to game, and week to week. As this is a diary I don’t just wait until then end […]
Season Diary This is a relatively short piece from me, due to the fact that I am moving flats, and as I write I’m not sure how much football I will get to watch this week. I wasn’t going to write anything at all in fact, but the bizarre twist of fate involved in my […]
Season Diary Well this week was obviously dominated by the debut of whatshisname, after a build-up of what seemed like a couple of months. This is a diary however, and rather than sit around scratching my backside all week waiting for Saturday I have a build-up of my own, so let me take you through […]
Season Diary Last week, I said that I couldn’t quite submit to the fact that “whatever happens, this transfer window has been a failure” due to the fact we didn’t know what the “whatever” might be.
