The Rain Fell, and the Last Train was Cancelled as Arsenal take Top Spot
It looked like a day more suitable for diving equipment and rubber ducks than playing the beautiful game. After the effort put in against Bayern on Tuesday it seemed rather unfortunate that Mother Nature should give Everton a weather advantage to go with many tired legs on our side. Even our Duracell bunnies seemed a […]
Arsenal Versus Everton: How Can You Tell When A Drummer’s At The Door?
Last time we spoke I was wondering whether or not I ought to watch the match. Could I release some kind of reverse jinx hoodoo and help Arsenal overcome Bayern by missing it? Well, by now, unless you’ve been held against your will in some remote Gulag you probably know the outcome. Thanks to me […]
Arsenal – Fun Fun Fun on the Autobahn
Guten Morgen Positivistas, A foul morning in NW Norfolk but a lightness of touch in the fingers as I sit down for another day of digital derring-do. What a night eh ! My impression of Us ? A massive EFFORT from every player in red, and one in orange. They applied themselves throughout the 94 […]
Arsenal Versus Bayern: Solid Gold Easy Action
I have a confession to make. It’s an embarrassing one and I hesitate before the court of public opinion. Perhaps I should delay the awkward moment when I must unbosom myself of my misdeed. Instead allow me to furnish you with a little background to the story. Yes I think that might be helpful. For […]
Arsenal and the Watford Vicarage Garden Party
Good morning Positivistas far and near, Grey and quiet at 9.00 on Sunday morning in Norfolk. Another week and those leaves will be down. A formidably straightforward task this morning in reviewing an entirely straightforward away win at Vicarage Road. Like any sane Arsenal fan I travelled, in my mind’s eye admittedly, up the line […]
Arsenal Versus Watford: Careful Husbandry
You can tell it has been a painfully long time since last we had any football to distract us when we find ourselves, as I did last night, watching the ‘action’ from Ashton Gate in the largely forlorn hope that something resembling the beautiful game might inadvertently break out and thus bridge the gap between […]
Arsene Wenger vs The Podcasters
As a supporter of our great club, this has been the most stress-free of international breaks I have experienced in 10 years, apart from constantly worrying whether Alexis will emerge from his South American World Cup qualifiers with his groin intact. Post Manchester United, there has been very little for the malcontents to stir the […]
STOP PRESS! Martial Awe Declared, Giroud Officially Rubbish
They broke the news today, oh boy … Another day, another sporting dollar and so the week begins with many column inches in newspapers filled with a certain kind of journalistic copy. Whatever is written in one outlet is rarely too far removed from what will appear elsewhere. The fear of being separated from the […]
Wenger Protests: Enough Is Enough
Apparently, now is the time for change … Just prior to kick off, the above scene presented itself to thousands of fans arriving from the south east of England ahead of the crucial Manchester United encounter. This was a game that had United won, would have seen one of our greatest rivals consolidate their unlikely […]
Arsenal: 74 seconds of smooth silk and sharp steel
Good morning, I am almost embarrassed to write a review of yesterday’s game as it was one which every reader will have watched, re-watched, read what the media have to say and for those of a robust constitution have probed the deep recesses of social media, Twitter and blog wise. I can tell you little […]
