Arsenal – It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves

  Ulaakut Positivistas, A shortish post mortem. We sustained a beating last night at St Mary’s. Given our run of form, and the almost routine despatch of our closest title rivals on Monday it looked a match we could expect at worst a point from. Klopp’s Red and White Army had run the fox to […]

Arsenal – We are so very ‘umble

G’day Positivistas, The result we all hoped for last night with our light blue opponents pushed firmly back toward the pack, and us neatly tucked in behind the Foxes and we move into the Christmas bend. Dare I say what I suspect a couple of you are thinking, but feel a little shy about sharing […]

Arsenal – On it like a Bonnet

Hello Positivistas far and near, Three games, eight days, three wins, eight goals scored, one conceded and that blemish was off the boot of Olivier in a moment of Gallic over-exuberance. Our French hit man moves to 50 goals. Our Czech keeper to a record 169 PL games with no goals conceded. Goodness knows where […]

Giroud Technique Sweeps Up The Greek

    Kaliméra Positivistas, Another good start to a Thursday with the glow of a memorable victory last night warming my cockles (?). For twenty minutes the home side made a battle of it and stuck to their pre-game promise to try and take the contest to us. They created a couple of half chances […]

Arsenal weather Fat Sam’s Black Cats

Bonjour mes Positivistas, A slightly rocky path in our Premier League form safely negotiated yesterday, and three points safely in the basket. My impression was of a thorough performance by us, plenty of sweat and concentration on our part. There was the occasional flash of quality, such as Mesut’s through ball to Joel to tidily […]

Arsenal -“Hope Springs Exulting on Triumphant Wing.”

Good morning to you from Norfolk on Saint Andrew’s Day. There may be dancing in the streets later on. Thus far not.   I do not intend to write much about yesterday’s game at Carrow Road. It was not a game that inspired the muse, well my muse anyway. On the day a point was […]

Arsenal Shine with Goals Divine

Positivistas Ho, A little glow of satisfaction this morning I am sure warming us as we go about our daily chores as a result of last night’s events. I admit after Saturday’s disappointment and bad luck at the Hawthorns I was a little worried we would take the field under a cloud and take time […]

Arsenal – Sandwell Surprise

Good morning Afternoon Positivistas, though only just.   A mood of fear was abroad among the Baggies fans on the way to the game, anticipating a bit of a drubbing. “Best football team we played last season” was muttered, through clenched teeth as they thought back to their demolition at the Ems last May. Greying […]

Arsenal – Fragments From France

    Good Morning Positive Arsenal fans,   A shockingly sparse landscape as far as Arsenal related stories, real or fabricated. These past few days with events in Paris on Friday night, and the aftermath, still the main focus of both the real news as well as football headlines. I was surprised to see the […]

Arsenal – The Scoreboard Explodes

Good morning all Positives, The NLD matched my expectations yesterday. 94 minutes of sporting combat, two good teams playing football, trying to win the game, every loose ball, every tackle, every header contested. Both sides coming into the game after a hard week’s football. By the end the game was always going to be matter […]
