News story of the summer!

I’m back after going AWOL for a few weeks…just watch the hits fly up this week!  Or not…  A bit of a linkathon this week, given that there’s not really anything else of interest to talk about.  Starting with a few bits of wild speculation: Arsenal in for Scott Parker?  I can’t see Scott Parker coming [...]

Something’s missing…

A weekend without Arsenal in April?  I’m definitely not a fan of a football-empty weekend, but at least it gives some free time to get some general admin done, before we play again on Wednesday. I’m very nervous about Wednesday night, but that’s mainly because going to WHL is a stressful experience at the best [...]

Another close shave!

That’s the 3rd last minute winner in about a month – Stoke, Hull and now Wolves.  Is a goal in the last minute anymore lucky than one in the 1st minute?  I’m not sure, they’re all goals…they definitely feel luckier though!  Obviously an easy 3-0 win would’ve been preferable yesterday, but a part of me [...]

3 days till Barca!

I’m back this Sunday after a week of whilst I was stumbling round the Rome Marathon last Sunday.  It was painful…  Unfortunately yesterday was also painful for a number of reasons: 1)    A last minute draw (when you concede late) always feels like a loss 2)    We lost potentially vital ground on the top 2 [...]

Wenger is helping English football

It was great to see the old Theo back yesterday.  He has been on the receiving end of a lot of critisism recently (myself included) for some poor performances as a result of an injury-hit season.  Yesterday however was a different Theo to the one we’ve seen playing at Chelsea and Stoke in the Cup [...]

3 points for a leg?

I’m officially going on media lockdown as of NOW.  Some of the crap spoken and written about the Shawcross/Ramsey incident yesterday is just stupid beyond belief.  I was actually left wondering at times whether Sky (or whoever) we just trying to spout the most ridiculous crap possible just to draw attention to themselves. Firstly, for  [...]

I only went to see Eboue

It looks like Block19er’s strategy of laying the top 4 has worked again this week as 2 teams failed to win. Apparently he’s been quids in this season, I might have to start doing that as well! Although it’s probably getting too expensive to lay Liverpool, I can’t imagine their odds are any good these [...]

Weekend off

It’s a good  job we didn’t have that pesky FA Cup to clog up our fixture list this weekend eh?  Hopefully the lads will be nice and fresh and raring to go for Porto, after having a full week off.  I’ve had a nice weekend of watching sport – a load of FA Cup games [...]

Chelsea 2 – 0 Arsenal

Result – so predictable.  2 Drogba goals, a simple defeat. Performance – not so predictable, after the last few performances at least. Arsenal started brightly, the lads looked up for it, the passing was quick and movement seemed good.  Before long though, familiarity set in as Drogba scored from the chav’s first attack.  Gutting, but [...]

Arsenal 1 – 3 Manchester United

Absolute crap.  This was depressingly similar to the Champion’s League match here last season – big build up, great atmosphere, high hopes, all undone by two first half United goals. Where to begin with our performace….  We actually created a few chances early on, Arshavin in particular could’ve had a hat trick with at least [...]

Stoke 3 – 1 Arsenal

I’m pretty pissed off to be honest.  Getting knocked out the FA Cup always hurts, and this year was even worse as the Mancs and Liverpool (not that they’d have been a problem) were already out. Within 70 seconds we were behind, with the most predictable goal ever seen – Delap long throw to Fuller.  Just like [...]

A point gained…

Disappointing result yesterday, it generally is when Arsenal don’t win, but from my point of view it wasn’t a disaster.  Everton are a very good team, 5th last year, getting back to that form now after an abysmal start to the season to which we took full advantage on the opening day!  Even title winning [...]

West Ham 1 – 2 Arsenal

Well that was a pretty much a perfect day!  A few pre match pints whilst watching Leeds dump the Mancs out of the cup, followed by a trip over to Upton Park to watch Arsenal come from behind to clinch a late 2-1 away win.  If Carlsberg did FA Cup 3rd Rounds…actually, I think I [...]

One man army!

I loved yesterday – Cesc out injured, so our main man DENILSON comes back from injury and puts us on our way with a cracking freekick!  Get in!  Still haven’t seen anyone else with a Denilson shirt (!), maybe that will change soon, he seems to score a few decent long range goals a season. [...]

No strikers = a win!

It seems like a while since I was last able to blog after Block19er has had to stand in for me for the last few weeks, and it is also a while since Arsenal’s last domestic win.  Coincidence?  I think not! Yesterday was great – a routine home win against a run of the mill [...]

RVP crocked, press the panic button!!!

Robin van Persie was injured playing for Holland last night, it’s unclear exactly how long he will be out for but it appears to be months rather than weeks.  According to the BBC it’s definitely torn ankle ligaments, possibly a broken ankle.  There’s some vido of the tackle here.  After looking at the replays it still isn’t [...]

Another 3 points

Another great result yesterday, we really are scoring for fun at the moment.  It was annoying that we conceded a late consolation goal again, like on Wednesday, but I’d prefer to look on the bright side and say that it was good that we had killed the game off by playing well and so a [...]

Morale is high!

How sweet was yesterday?!  Even more so as Keane and Crouch had been boasting in the paper about how they have a stronger squad than us now.  Err, what?  I don’t think so.  10 years and counting in the league, try again next time. I love derby days, the early start, beer with a fry [...]
