Stoke At home against the Potters we’ve always been able to conjure up some magic and soundly beat them, (see what I did there), whilst away from home we tend to lose. We’re at the Emirates for our Saturday lunchtime kick-off so I would normally be more confident going into the game, but given our […]
We face Newcastle today and, once again, we badly need to win the game. It’s kind of funny to be in such a position 3 games in, but our less than spectacular start ensured we need a second away win in a row. Interestingly enough, we have a very good record away from home: 6 […]
It’s Liverpool at the Emirates today and I’m cautiously optimistic about the outcome of this game. Not so much because we demonstrated brilliant football in the first two games (though our first half against Palace was pretty damn inspiring), but because Liverpool simply don’t look up to scratch. They’ve won the first two games, however […]
If there are positives to be gleaned from a defeat, then the discussion it generates is surely one of these. While you can praise your team after a win only so many times, there are endless ways to dissect why it has lost. Of course it’s all a bit exaggerated: there is no sure way […]
“We want to finish on a high at the Emirates and we want our fans to go home happy, full of hope for next season. We have fought very hard to directly qualify for the Champions League and we want to get over the line and finish the job, which we couldn’t do on Wednesday […]
That was nerve-racking. Much more than any of us would have liked. After the game I rushed for my validol. I know a couple of my friends who rushed to pubs or their secret alcohol stashes to ease the pressure. But we made it into the final and, first and foremost, I want to clear up […]
It’s the semifinal of the FA Cup and we take on Reading. I think that, while our opponents should be treated with respect, it’s hard to argue Arsenal are the overwhelming favourites to win this one. The biggest challenge will be to keep the levels of concentration high: “It is going to be their biggest […]
Everton I was little worried about the Everton game because I really thought they had a plan for us. I thought it just might work. As it turns out they did have a plan, but it didn’t work at all. More surprising for me was our plan for them. I saw a lot of people […]
A superb run of nine victories from the last eleven games in all competitions has come at the perfect time of the season for Arsenal who have put themselves in a wonderful position to enjoy success. While the Gunners have a mountain to climb against Monaco in the Champions League and have a FA Cup […]
. Captain’s Log Star-Date 1,4,6 point 17. Spock thinks we should head to the Phondar system. I wasn’t actually listening to his reasons because the Phonarian ambassador was sitting opposite me. I’ve always had a thing for green girls. With Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool & Spurs, four teams for two places, it’s no tragedy that […]
