Arsenal and Sanchez Meraviglia*
Good morning ++++ers, And a fine one it is. If last Sunday morning’s blank screen presented me with something akin to rolling large rock up a steep hill yesterday’s events in Leicester offer not even a vaguely similar challenge. I have had to search deep in my superlative drawer however to do the game justice. […]
Arsenal Versus Leicester: The Coquelin Event Horizon
Everyone feeling a little bit happier now? A shot of league cup and North London Derby victory in the old veins has done the trick I trust? It may not have made a difference to our league position but by Jimminy the world seems a brighter place after a win doesn’t it? The league position […]
Flamini Seizes The Chance
Greetings on this fine early Autumn morning to you all, and above an excellent snap from the Mirror this morning that captures the moment the battle turned decisively last night. A little more chipper in my mood this morning and I suspect I am not the only Arsenal fan with a little skip in their […]
Arsenal Versus Spurs: Raise Your Weary Gloves
I don’t want to write this, and more importantly you don’t want to read it. So as an exercise in futility today’s blog is hard to beat. After Zagreb, the last thing we needed was an hour and a half in the company of the world’s most detestable football club. Like getting beaten up on […]
Why Football Must Follow Rugby’s Lead On Officiating
A guest post from Alex Goodchild It has been one sporting feast of a weekend, filled with drama and excitement. Despite the Rugby World Cup having just kicked off in London, the Premier League refused to be overshadowed, offering such spectacles as the next instalment in Wenger’s rivalry with Mourinho and Manchester City’s home clash against […]
Arsenal and the Absurd
Morning Positive people, In contrast to yesterday’s blazing sunshine a still day with patches of brightness this morning. An apt metaphor for my mood over the past 24 hours in relation to football. First, the game itself I think, because that is what football is about. I often barely mention the content of the game […]
Arsenal Versus Chelsea: Beware The Wounded Beast
Chelsea. It wasn’t ever thus. There was once a time when the word evoked a different series of meanings, conjured other images. Fashionable clothes, big side burns, walking down the Kings Road, colourfully clad pensioners with shining medals and long memories, Charlie Cooke, John Hollins, Alan Hudson, the Chelsea Drugstore (architecture meeting modern art on […]
Moja je Arsenal puna jegulja*
Good morning fellow sufferers, A result in Zagreb that surprised and disappointed in equal measure. Not a terminal blow by any means with five games in the group to go and our qualification firmly in our own hands but a poor start. It is the result that in reason seasons we risked, for example in […]
Arsenal Versus Građanski nogometni klub Dinamo Zagreb: Flights Of Fancy
Please accept my apologies if my by now customary flights of fancy are a little more fanciful than usual but yesterday I awoke with a migraine. The only efficacious pain medication I’ve found in these circumstances sends me a little, not to put too fine a point on it, doolally. I’ve been returning slowly to […]
A Little Less Contemplation, a Little More Action
Good morning from an early Autumn Norfolk, the faintest tips of gold beginning to show in the trees. And what of yesterday? Our opening 10-15 minutes were superb, as excellent a start to a home or away game as I can recall since we demolished Naples in October 2013. Stoke were immediately opened up by […]
Positively Arsenal
