Joel on a roll and Flame still burning as Arsene learns new tricks
Hello. . I have waited until some of the euphoria following the Olympiakos match has died down before composing a suitable comment. . In a previous comment I criticised AW and I included a comment that Arteta should not be considered as a player any longer. I also said that Flamini and Campbell were not […]
Olympiacos 0-3 Arsenal: Arsenal through thanks to Giroud
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 […]
So it’s a Not so fond farewell to Non Event November and now for Nice Noel
I’m back! Did you miss me? I’ve had a pretty busy November, so I didn’t have much time to blog. Arsenal played a number of matches over the month, but didn’t have much time to play well, with the club dropping a number of points and having a few poor results. I’m now going to […]
GIROOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!! – STAR MAN
I am right in the middle of my end of term exams and Uni at the moment and they are pretty important. So watching Arsenal in the Champions League at 1.15 in the middle of the might over here the day before an exam probably wasn’t the thing to do. Yeah right. I stole wifi […]
FROM ZEROUD TO HEROUD Olivier Giroud – the hat-trick pony.
So happy that Oli is getting shown some love. He’s a desperately under-rated player. It’s a classic example of being so blinded by what you WANT, that you can’t see what you HAVE. Despite all the negative attention, the criticism, the injuries and the impossible expectation – Olivier believed in himself and gave us a […]
Europe or Bust! It’s More Than Just Glory We’re Talking About…It’s Global Brand
Have you ever had that moment in your life where it takes an incident – big or small – to wake up a dormant belief within you? This happened to me last week. I was walking down the street and saw a few kids, hardly between 8-10 years of age, hanging around outside their apartment […]
Having a narrow squad and a strong fellowship can backfire but it gave us the INVINCIBLES
I was reading “Invincible” by Amy Lawrence last night, I read the whole book in one go because I simply couldn’t stop turning one page after another: the feeling of pride was overwhelming, as was the amount of details given away by Amy. The importance of chemistry in the building of a team, the innovations […]
Options Limited, Desired Destination Known & Gabriel for Per change to avoid sucker punch
If you have ever played the original Uncharted game (run to the store asap if you haven’t), then you know there are five difficulty settings there: very easy, easy, normal, hard and crushing. The first three correspond to their respective names. On hard things get much trickier and I think there would have been few […]
All out attack to win on Wednesday in Athens OR after that in WHICHEVER European competition we find ourselves!
There has been a lot of talk on my TL about Arsenal in Europe. There were plenty of fans wanting the humiliation of finishing bottom of our Champions League Group, rather than play in the Europa League. Some even going so far as wanting us to deliberately lose games. Strategically losing games is a dangerous […]
The Real truth behind Lewin, Forsythe and Arsenal’s injury woes
It all started way back when, way back when Gary Lewin decided to up sticks and head for the bright lights of St Georges Park and Team England. On his way out of the door he shouted back to Arsene, “I know a guy, he’ll see you right. I’ll call you from the car” Bemused, […]
