Ice Station Arsenal

Good morning Positives, A trip to Ostersunds the most mysterious of mystery trips. The home side with a very respectable set of results in Europe, a sub zero night, a plastic pitch, our not-quite first team on display. What would the evening hold ?? For those who saw the game a professional performance  from our […]

Arsenal: Before the cock crow

Good afternoon Positive Arsenal fans, A fine game of football between two high quality sides, both sets of players underlining the professional  aspect of their trade, with a display of concentration and controlled physical aggression over 94 minutes. Clearly defeat at the end of the contest is a sour result but I’ve no serious complaint. […]

Arsenal: And the Five course tasting menu

Morning Positive Goons, Another thumping home victory on a Saturday, wholly deserved, and an appropriate conclusion to the 31 days of media fuelled hysteria we have recently passed through. Goodness me it seemed a long month, traumatic at times*. Amidst the noisy transfer turmoil  some old playing components, some much loved, others less so,  had […]

Arsenal: Home again and work to begin

@LaboGoon says what he likes about Allardyce (?)  Good morning one and all. What a week we had, down in the dumps the one day, high on positivity the next – as the saying goes: what a difference a day make! Speaking of days ……… Arsenal host Everton today at the Emirates, to not only […]

Arsenal: The Sting of the Swan

Good morning Positives, I can still feel the damp discomfort of last night’s result but the effect is gradually reducing, dulled by time and the opportunity to review the event and look forward. It would be difficult for anyone to add much more to Arsene’s comments about the game pivoting on a number of mistakes […]

Arsenal: Liberty Rises

@LaboGoon spies out the Land of My Fathers Good morning Positivistas. It’s the day before the transfer window slam shut and Arsenal is travelling to Swansea City, and as it’s known on these streets, to escape the transfer hoopla even if just temporary. Last time we played Swansea they were in a bit of a […]

Arsenal: Opportunity beckons

Good afternoon Positive Red People, I trust we are all primed for his evening’s game which, by my reckoning, is our 8th serious contest with the Blues in the last 16 month. (W3L1D4). The semi final tie is perfectly balanced. Like us Conte’s men have struggle to score goals, despite bringing in an expensive striker […]

Arsenal: Slick and Professional

Good morning Positivistas, That was much much more like it. Football reared its lovely head across a wet North London Saturday afternoon. The players, all of them in fact,  delivered the fans 90 minutes of entertainment, and a comfortable three point win. I have to admit a cloak of trepidation swaddled the Arsenal faithful on the […]

Arsenal: Football breaks the window

@LaboGoon opens the curtains  January eh – don’t you just wish this month was over already? Well, at least not without a few wins under the belt, a ‘departure’ and one or two “top top” additions to our squad. Now that will really help to lift this gloom. Arsenal host Crystal Palace at the Emirates […]

Arsenal: Calamity at the Vitality !!

Good afternoon Positives, I shall make it brief and, I  hope, to the point. I admit the positives of the game today, though not impossible to find, are a little thin. Let me however get the brutal bit out of the way. We played today as a team lacking or short in probably two essential […]
