Arsenal Versus Sunderland: Keep Your Eyes On The Prize
Sorry but I’m struggling to get my head into football mode for you this morning. Don’t panic, I haven’t gone all Jose Mourinho, I don’t regard the final fixtures of a season as any less interesting or important than the first, it isn’t that. I’m just buried in another project and it’s demanding all of […]
When The Going Gets Tough, Arsenal Gets Going
I may be a minority of one but I am not having it. How could we join with our enemies in the Scouser-loving media and declare the top-4 battle all but over. The totally defeatist attitude of many brings shame to our club and its spiritual ancestors; the working men and women who were the […]
Arsenal: The Harder The Conflict, The Tastier The Bacon
Good Morning Positivistas. I am sure the glow of satisfaction persists among us this morning after the comprehensive slaughter of the Stoke? And on top of that justified satisfaction a glance at the mainstream and social media as your breakfast grills invitingly reveals multiple reference to “the heat is on” and “under pressure” alongside a […]
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more.
I can only apologize to those calling in to taste Stew’s normal breakfast feast. He has been tied up with real life stuff and you are stuck with me. It’s a tea-time game in the land of the Orcs. A fixture that we normally come away from battered, bruised and short of points. They really […]
Arsenal: Today was a good day
Bonjour Positive mesdames et messieurs, Well that was a tricky obstacle well negotiated last night, I am sure you will agree. The statistic was relentlessly pounded into my ear that we had not won at St Mary’s in a League game since 2003 by every pundit who could get a microphone before kick off. […]
Arsenal Versus Southampton: Drop The Monkey
There was something extremely cathartic about Danny Welbeck’s goal on Sunday. A palpable relief of tension so orgasmic that my involuntary exclamation awoke Liz from a deep and dreamless sleep. I was watching in the wee small hours having evaded the score until I returned home from my labours and had managed to remain quietly […]
Arsenal Has The Lightest Midfield In 6 Years
Post Manchester United there is a noticeable mood of cautious optimism among Arsenal fans as we all digest the significance of victory over the old enemy and their wretched manager. Many now realize there is a feasible route to achieving top-4 if Arsenal can win their next two games and come within one point of […]
Arsenal: The Angel of Fortune
I’m impresed. Good morning Positives, A good Monday morning indeed after a very good Sunday afternoon. And pleasing for all the right ‘footballing’ reasons. As anticipated Jose had rolled into town in his bus, and to be fair to the Portuguese, his chosen mode of transport had allowed him to build up an extraordinary 24 […]
Arsenal Versus Man United: Publish it not in the streets of Ashkelon
“You know what I’d like now Stew? I’d like your lot to win the FA Cup and us to win the Europa. If nothing else it will annoy Spurs, City and of course spoil the party for Chelsea.” It was funny to be chatting amiably with my only Man United supporting mate the day before […]
Alexis Sanchez: Asset or Liability for Arsenal?
Like Brando in The Godfather, I am loathe to tell anyone outside the family what I am thinking but given the current atmosphere of mischief and sensationalism surrounding Arsenal Football Club, needs must, especially when the usual subjects are avoiding the truth like a plague. Alexis Sanchez is undoubtedly Arsenal’s most potent offensive player. […]
