After a disappointing result, it’s so predictable how some people will try to avoid the difficult questions by bigging up the opposition. Which is exactly what I’m going to do now.  Seriously, I think we can spare a bit of praise for our opponents yesterday, can’t we?  It’s hard to keep up with everything going […]

As this match approached it was hard not to feel like an American meteorologist watching a hurricane gaining force out in the Atlantic.  First, it became clear that Lampard was out the door, which would boost any football team on the planet. Soon, Dyche emerged as the only sensible option. Landfall for this perfect storm […]

Good Morning . We lost a narrow match away at Man City. You can talk about schedules, fatigue and whatnot, but it’s hard to be upbeat about going out. This wasn’t the League Cup, which you can always shrug off; no, the FA Cup is part of Arsenal’s identity.  Still, there are a few reasons […]

Hello all. In this podcast we (well I say “we” it’s mainly me) get carried away with our performance against United and our setup.patterns of play and just about everything I can think of. I’m trying to keep a lid on my enthusiasm, but I can’t. Pedantic George.

Good Morning all. As grownups, when Arsenal are rubbish we can put it all into context and step back a bit. But when we’re great, oh boy it will give you a permasmile, and a secret source of joy you can return to whenever you want.  Because after about two hours of misery, a deft […]

Hello positive people, how the hell are you? In this podcast we have a look back at the NLD and wax lyrical about the players, team play and of course, Mikel Arteta. Then we consider the chances of going on to win the title. Feel free to be critical in the comments section, the blog […]

Good morning you happy lot. Yesterday really was a day the likes of which I’ve never seen in the on-line Arsenal community. The fan base, or at least most of them, went from the misery of learning that long time target Mudryk had left us standing at the altar, to the ecstasy of giving our […]

The FA Cup is great until it’s your team’s turn, playing on a windswept pasture versus rugged opponents, with Sam Matterface commentating from a different, dumber reality.  It took us a while to get on top of the conditions and our opponent’s man-marking, but we did it comfortably in the end. Bear in mind that […]

Good day one and all. In this podcast we look at the Wolves game and consider just what realistic chance we have of finishing above City and what may act in our favour. Pedantic George

Hello Positives, In this podcast I try to drag Shotta onto the sunshine bus against his will. Are we going to win the title? probably not, but we should enjoy the challenge while it lasts, and who knows what might happen given a fair wind? All Arsenal can do is beat what is put in […]
