This season for me, has served as an appropriate test run for the team. It has given this side a proper understanding of what it takes to go all the way in a highly competitive league. They mounted a sustained title challenge until March, for the first time in three years. Progress has absolutely been […]
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger is confident his record signing, Mesut Ozil would have a stellar campaign next season. The 25-year old has endured a frustrating debut season due to niggling injuries and a slight dip in form earlier in the year, having made the switch to the Emirates from Real Madrid on deadline day of […]
Good Friday Gooners, how are we all? You find me today in reflective mood. Among the many joys that marriage has brought me, has been the ‘inheritance’ of nephews and nieces from her side of the family. Two of my nephews – 12 and 14 – are Gooners, with one a fully paid up ‘I […]
“What they did do well was the basics. They fought for every single ball, they were committed, they had hunger, they had desire. They’ve done the basics better than us. But we need to put that behind us and get ready for the Super League competition which is the bread and butter in women’s football. […]
The commentator was exhilarated with Tomas Rosicky’s display in the game against United States of America. It was a performance worthy of praise. Two brilliant goals and a cracking effort of the crossbar. Arsene Wenger is a genius for signing Rosicky before the World Cup; else his price would have surely doubled, were the exact […]
Arsenal 3 West Ham United 1 – Podolski Inspires Arsenal Who Recover Their Groove Admittedly, I was rather nervous as last night’s encounter with West Ham approached. We’re now in a territory where we can’t afford to be dropping any more points in a run in that pits us against several teams fighting for Premier […]
Questions that need to be answered? We huffed and we puffed and we blew Wigan’s mud huts down. It wasn’t convincing but after 120 minutes, it’s the figures in the top left hand corner that matter! At 5am, after the final whistle and after the team had taken their obligatory celebratory selfie, I was sat […]
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 […]
