So Saturday was our first home game of the new season, and after having a tough opening at Liverpool, it was an opportunity to get our season rolling with a win. But with Blackpool flying after their 0-4 win over Wigan last week, it was not going to be a walk in the park. Well, that’s the [...]
Debs will be writing up a proper match report tomorrow, but for now, I’ll just briefly touch on todays game – 6-0 to the Arsenal, with Theo Walcott scoring a hattrick. Having not seen the game or the highlights yet, I can’t really comment, but the line up today was: Almunia Sagna – Song – [...]
An evening wish to you all this Friday evening and today I find myself in Priors Marsten, a small village near Banbury, with my sister and friends in a nice little Granary. It’s been an interesting day, filled with scrabble and clay pigeon shooting and I did manage to hit 15 out of my 25 [...]
Major kudos for Kieran’s article yesterday, a timely reminder of Arsene’s achievements since he joined the club and after my piece the day before which was written after the Liverpool game. Sometimes, I have to say – it is easier for us to forget where we are today and how we got here and worry that there [...]
So, my title is of course lifted directly from Monty Python. In case you’re not up to speed, Life Of Brian is one of the landmarks of British film, and you should check it out. But that isn’t the point. A group of dissidents are sitting around and and one of them says: They’ve bled [...]
That is the question of Sunday’s game. Personally, I was very very disappointed with the result. After the build up pre game, the pre season antics and the players and manager insistent that they had learnt the mistakes from last season, what we saw yesterday was a repeat of the whole of last season in [...]
Evening fellow Gooners. It’s been a long time coming, but El Premiershipio is only days away… with Sp*rs and Citeh kicking off the campaign on Saturday at 12:45 and of course, The Arsenal taking on Liverpool at 4pm on Sunday afternoon. It’s been a big debate to whether or not certain players will be fit [...]
Football is a funny old game, isn’t it? There are never simple decisions in the game and pretty much everything that happens nowadays seems to amaze me. As we’re all aware, Jack Wilshere and Kieran Gibbsa are set to play some part in tonight’s friendly for England and considering neither have had a full season [...]
I seriously do wonder if Blatter and his cabal of nonsense speaking mental friends at FIFA have it in for the English league. I mean, we know the chap has a dislike for the Premiership bordering on the psychotic but a round of friendlies before the opening weekend of the season? That’s a prick move. Considering the [...]
So yesterday was the chance to wrap up our pre-season preparations in style, with a match against Fabianski’s former club, Legia Warsaw, in Poland. The friendly was the first game at their stadium, and I bet it’s one they won’t be forgetting in a while. Or maybe they will, seeing as they lost in the [...]
Debs is going to post later tonight and Kieran tomorrow, but for now, here’s a nice video that I’ve just seen on You Tube courtesy of @arsenalogist on twitter: And here is Jack Wilshere’s volley against Celtic last weekend: Speak to you later everyone!
