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 […]
Arsenal v West Ham – Focus and Go Fourth Arsenal face West Ham tonight off the back of coming from a goal down to beat Wigan on penalties to reach the FA Cup final just three days ago. Jordi Gomez looked to have given Wigan a shot at retaining the trophy, but Per Mertesacker levelled […]
Arsenal rarely tend to do things the easy way but yesterday we just about had enough to beat defending Champions Wigan Athletic and reach the FA Cup Final, our first since we last won the competition in 2005. Lukas Fabianski was the hero as he saved the first two Wigan penalties in the shoot out […]
This could still be Arsenal’s most important season So it’s been a forgettable 2014 so far. A year that promised so much on its first day. We’ve stumbled far too many times, often had too similar accidents, but we aren’t crushed yet. ‘Cause we’ve still got seven reasons to fight. The chance to end the […]
Good Friday afternoon you Gooners. It pains me to write this, but there are several reasons why tomorrow’s FA Cup semi-final is filling me up with dread – like Adam Richman’s toilet after a series of Man vs. Food – and breaking me out in a cold sweat: – Arsenal have, time and time again […]
Tell me why, we don’t like away days. It’s 12.15am on Monday 7th April 2014, The games just finished, I’m sitting on my sofa, with a coffee in hand, staring at the TV and I’m lost for words, again. And then this tune popped into my head. I don’t know why, I haven’t heard the song […]
The road to Wembley is paved with depression I haven’t written in a while, but I felt compelled to put fingertips to keyboard following yet another embarrassing and depressing performance away from home on Sunday. I am generally one who looks on the brighter side of things as I believe hope is much more powerful […]
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 […]
Everton 3 Arsenal 0 – Superb Everton Show That Change Can Be Good It’s tough to know where to start or how to construct any narrative after watching Arsenal again get completely outplayed in an away game against one of the Premier League’s top five clubs. Our 3-0 defeat at Everton again highlighted an inability […]
Arsenal’s midfield metronome Mikel Arteta has proven to be one of Arsene Wenger’s most successful signings over the past number of years. Along with Per Mertesacker, the Spaniard came in and stabilised the team when the squad was crying out for a game dictator. A secure maestro if you like. His awareness, distribution and positioning […]
