Week Twenty Seven – Post Apocalyptic Shit Sandwiches and the Real World Did you miss me? I took a week off from writing last week, as I was too busy to do so, and it turned out to be not such a bad thing in the end. As you know I try to be as positive […]
Afternoon Gooners. As you may remember, last week I talked about Sod’s law and how Arsenal had the opportunity and ability to take charge in their forthcoming crunch matches and throw Sod’s law back into their rivals’ faces. And what did we get?! Utter humiliation against Liverpool. Now, I watched Liverpool tear into their high-flying […]
Nerves, fear, trepidation gripping both teams – robbed the watching public of a football match where expression is a required component of which gives a feeling that you are being entertained. Fear of enjoying the experience of playing football took over two professional teams and reminded us that the stakes are really high in the Premier […]
It’s a question that has caused so many debates amongst Arsenal fans and this question more than any statistic drives our narrative to the non Arsenal world…. Can Arsenal win the “big” games? What does that mean. To me it means going to the North West and Chelsea away from home and winning. It’s about […]
Have the Arsenal had their Achilles heal exposed & severed. For all the flair, guile & ability, has the soft underbelly been flipped over & left in the sun to be pecked at by the big team vultures. Again, we get on the plane to the North West, to a top 6 contender & boom […]
“Anything that can go wrong, will.” Afternoon Gooners. Yes, Sod’s law. Thursday served me up a steaming dish of it, with a side order of utter bollocks and a dessert heaped with sprinklings of f**k you. Long story short; one pick-up of old sofa arranged, to be followed by a drop-off of a new sofa. […]
More arrivals, departures and Champions League preparation. The Arsenal Ladies camp has seen a few more comings and goings as Shelley Kerr juggles strengthening her squad for the new WSL season, while also preparing for the upcoming Champions League matches (We play Birmingham City Ladies on March 22/23 and March 29/30). Ciara Grant and Yvonne […]
One of the most boring transfer windows ever came to an end last friday night. And in the end I was right by predicting that the Julian Draxler deal to Arsenal wouldn’t go ahead in January due to Schalke’s desperate need for Champions League football. As many Tweeted/emailed me asking what our chances are to […]
Championship Manager 01/02 and Advance The Arsenal Flair I did have an awesome blog prepared on how good a signing Kim Kallstrom was, based on his ranking in Championship Manager 01/02, but then he went and got injured, so that fell flat on its arse. Kim, Say hello to Abo So instead I went with […]
In last month’s blog I said that by the end of January I hoped to still be top of the league, in the draw for the next round of the cup, recruited a new striker and free of injuries. It’s fair to say we didn’t get all of that but there are still many reasons […]
