If any of you were thinking about a nice festive period with absolutely no surprises, then I’m sorry for you guys. Just like me you have been done in by Arsenal Football Club and its promises of being top. No problem though because that Mahrez bloke goes up against Manchester City today and I dare […]
When I saw Fonte power his header past Cech in the 66th minute, I turned the game off. It’s what I always do when the Gunners go 3 down. I haven’t watched us lose to United 8-2. I haven’t witnessed our 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Chelsea, or the 5-1 at Anfield. Even this […]
No rest for the wicked as the Gunners (along with the other 19 teams, truth be told) prepare for their Boxing Day game against Southampton. And despite Southampton’s atrocious recent form (1 point in 6 games, with only 2 goals scored during that run), I feel uneasy about this match. Maybe because I can’t recall […]
Christmas comes but once a year! Christmas comes but once a year, Bringing Gooners everywhere plenty of cheer. But don’t forget the very best part, Chelsea imploding causing Maureen to depart. And United can score at home or away!!?? With Van Gaal facing the sack, well any day City are wasting the money from the […]
How good was last night’s match? Just how good was that win? If you watched it, you’d know the answer to those questions. I was so impressed with our performance that I’m writing a match report and watching the match again this morning. The issue about our struggles in the ‘big games’ has become so […]
Showdown time has arrived. We take on Manchester City this evening and this game represents a clash between two heavyweights, two potential champions. Should we write down Leicester as a team which won’t fight for the title? Common sense and basic logic say we should. Even the manner in which Leicester play is very dangerous […]
Quite unexpectedly (for me, first of all) I made it in time for the game. That’s due to my missing out on Cumberbetch’s “Hamlet”. For those of you interested, someone here came up with a brilliant idea to broadcast the play on a big screen, in cinemas. And sell tickets, naturally. So my friend proposed […]
We travel to Villa Park to take on Remi Garde’s Aston Villa and, needless to say, three points is the acceptable result. After a downright disastrous November we’ve only recently notched our first league win (in 4 games) and considering how hard of a January we are about to have, picking up as many points […]
Arsenal visit Villa Park on Sunday chasing a perfect week to kick off the busy December period. Yes, beating two teams fighting for relegation and sneaking into the Champions League last 16 shouldn’t constitute what you’d a call a perfect week for a team aiming to be crowned champions but given all that transpired during […]
I have a strange emotional state before games: I rarely hope for the best or dread the worst. On Twitter, maybe. Sometimes (even quite often) you can see me putting on a brave face, while expressing full confidence the Gunners can do the job, whatever the difficulty of it. Occasionally you can see me moaning […]
