Best Wishes for 2009 Clockenders

Best Wishes for 2009 Clockenders thumbnail

Many people,(mainly the areshole pundits) will look back on 2008 as a poor year for Arsenal and us Gooners.   Ok this season hasn’t exactly been overwhelming for us so far,certainly not as far our challenge for the leauge would liked to have been.Though it was still 2008 in May when we were right up there [...]


Trasnfer Speculation + bits

Trasnfer Speculation + bits thumbnail

I’m writing this on the back of watching Villa spawn a win at Hull. They are crap, I can’t believe we couldn’t beat them on boxing day, pricks!! The only slight pleasure comes in that we’re not the only ones, the ref missed Villa push and pull all game, they must train on how to [...]


Three points, but not much else to lift the gloom

Three points, but not much else to lift the gloom thumbnail

A win is a win is a win. It felt quite similar to the Wigan game, although the only goal of the game came late instead of early.  Up against a team with no kind of form and zero confidence (I’m talking about Pompey here), we really should have taken them to the fuckin’ cleaners, [...]


Arsenal 1 – 0 Pompey

Arsenal 1 – 0 Pompey thumbnail

One nil to the Arsenal . . . . What a relief to get a win. Today was a tough fought, scrappy win, something I wasn’t sure we had in us. Perhaps the Villa game had sapped us of energy because we didn’t have a lot from the early stages. Having said that we were in control [...]


Pre-Pompey

Just a flying blog tonight as I have the in-laws over. Pompey at home, they look terrible, we should win, so perhaps we should take a draw now? As I said after the Villa game we showed for 20 minutes or so what we can do, can these lads commit themselves for 90 minutes, or [...]

The Song to sing tomorrow and going forward is . . . . . thumbnail

“The pride of north London. Forever and ever. The red and white army. Marching together. We’ll fight for the cannon. Proud of our history. Always remember our home is Highbury! Arsenal Arsenal! Arsenal Arsenal! Arsenal Arsenal! Arsenal Arsenal!” To the tune of Up the Gooners – Rocket is open tomorrow Sunday for the Pompey game [...]


Villa 2 – 2 Arsenal

Villa 2 – 2 Arsenal thumbnail

Oh my god! I think I’m still in one piece after a game which went one way and another at Villa Park. If the first 39 minutes were anything to go by we were in the shit. Villa totally dominated with decent wide play and crosses which as they would have known before the game [...]

It’s a Keep the Faith Christmas

It’s a Keep the Faith Christmas thumbnail

Up until yesterday, the last week or so,(taking Boro away) had been looking good for us Gooners. Everyone looking forward to seeing Eduardo back in the side in January,a favourable Champs leauge draw against Roma……oh yeah and must not forget Newcastle beating Tottenscum.We had Pool at Emirates, being confident of another top four scalp.   Then as will not have [...]


Christmas is cancelled

Christmas is cancelled thumbnail

Did The Grinch really come along and steal Christmas today? The Cesc news today is a real heart breaker. 4 months! Bloody Hell! We’ve dealt with the Rosicky issues because we’ve never really had him in the side for any long period of time but losing Cesc is like losing your testicles. I’m well and [...]


All I want for Christmas is…………Howard Webb’s head on a plate

All I want for Christmas is…………Howard Webb’s head on a plate thumbnail

I’m still not sure what to make of that result yesterday : I great goal  by RvP, and then a huge hoof by the Liverpool defence caught out Djourou and Keane smashed it home. The main talking point of course was the ridiculous sending off of Adebayor, by the cocknose Howard Webb. The initial reaction [...]


Arsenal 1 – 1 Liverpool

Arsenal 1 – 1 Liverpool thumbnail

It was an eventful game today which ultimately I think we’ll have to be happy with gaining a point from.  LiverHOOF really lived up to their name today, it was great to hear the crowd ripping into them right from the start over their ‘tactics’.  That said, we didn’t start too cleverly as we looked [...]


Quiet day before Liverhoof come to town for Christmas

Quiet day before Liverhoof come to town for Christmas thumbnail

The calm before the storm today, bit of tidying, some food shopping, and putting up some new xmas lights. Tomorrow – mayhem in North London. Hopefully with an AFC win in the middle. Nasri could be back tomorrow, I really hope so, and I think we need to see Adebayor on fire. The Big Man [...]


Its Roma & IT’S CHRISTMAS

Its Roma & IT’S CHRISTMAS thumbnail

So, in yesterdays practice draw we got Panathinaikos – but not today!! Man U also got Real Mad – but again, not today!! Oh well, if we want to get to Rome in May, we will have to beat all comers… so Rome & Roma in March it is first. Lets hope the knock-out stages [...]


Fridays the new Thursday

Fridays the new Thursday thumbnail

Seriously ……. How I’m even awake ……. this is Thursdays blog on Friday because the Hardings Concrete doo over ran into my sleep time. I met Robin Chocolate and Manuel Almunia yesterday. Two top blokes. I was trying to convince them it was good to get Barcelona because it’s a good piss up. They did [...]


Not only the pundits now!!!

Not only the pundits now!!! thumbnail

After a couple of results in the past where performances or the result haven’t been the best.By the time it comes round to my post on a Wednesday enough has been said and analysed from the other Clockenders and Gooners in despair so i won’t mention the Boro fixture today,other than a dissapointing result though [...]


The Long Week + Eddie is back

The Long Week + Eddie is back thumbnail

Is it really only Tuesday? Fucking hell it’s gonna be a long week waiting to see if Arsenal can produce another top display against the “top four elite”. I feel a little bit negative about the game at the moment, probably on the back of Saturday, but even if my mood improves I don’t think [...]


If we had won this one, and then beaten that other team, and not let in that last minute equaliser, and kept more clean sheets, we’d be ten points clear!

What is more annoying : A poor performance and draw against Boro, and being prepared to fall a further two points behind our rivals, or said rivals then all also drawing meaning that had we won, we would have closed in on all of them by two points??? Arrrrgggghhh! I was fully prepared for the [...]
