Red Sky at Night, Arsenal bite
Good Morning Positive Arsenal fans, The game was billed a “pivotal” and “season defining” in some quarters for the club and if that was the reality then it was a test passed. And we passed in the way that I want an Arsenal team to win a local derby, playing football, scoring goals and in […]
Arsenal: It’s a Big ‘Un
@LaboGoon casts off the weeks cobwebs and heads for N5 Good day one and all, The headline fixture this weekend will no doubt be Arsenal’s second London derby in as many weeks, with Chelsea taking the short trip across the capital to the Emirates Stadium. Last Saturday the Gunners endured a miserable time at the […]
Arsenal: How it (didn’t) happen
Good Morning Positive Arsenal fans, Another morning, another inquest into an away defeat against an ‘Ammers side who I anticipated would be put away with a little bit to spare. The aim was to be back on level points with Chelsea by 3pm, even in we knew the chance of Newcastle getting anything at the […]
Arsenal and the early lunch
@LaboGoon at the head of an orderly queue Good day one and all. Arsenal is travelling to the London Stadium this afternoon to take on West Ham United; after a mini break from Premier League action last weekend as the FA Cup took centerstage. Ah… West Ham. That 3-1 win against them at the Ems […]
Arsenal, Dean and the keen Tangerines
Good morning Positive Arsenal fans, An early evening victory over a genuinely plucky Blackpool was an easy watch. The game had a balance of decent football from both teams and was enough of a contest until our third goal to ensure that nagging doubt lurked in the back of my mind. We had seen the […]
Taking The Kids To Blackpool.
Good day to you positive Gooners. A late kick off in Blackpool in the competition that has been kind to us in recent years. I seriously have no idea what sort of a team we will put out. If Mr. Emery feels it’s a good game to reintroduce some of our walking wounded then […]
Arsenal: Eased into the New Year
Good morning Positives, A satisfactory result with the occasional hint of ‘good’ against Fulham, and a welcome salve to the bruising we picked up on Merseyside slightly less than three days earlier. Looking at the highlights again this morning the 4-1 result does not reflect the number of chances we created (16 shots inside the […]
Arsenal: Talent is only a starting point
Happy new year you lovely Positives. Sadly for you our Labo is excused boots today and you have your truly. Not the best start to New Year I know, but here we go. At 3 p.m. we play Fulham at our home stadium, the team we beat/thrashed/took apart 5-1 at the Cottage. That might suggest […]
Arsenal: Hide not your deeds nor your omission
Good morning Positive Arsenal friends, A thorough hiding on Merseyside yesterday evening I feel most, if not all of you, would agree. We were attacked at speed and with venom by talented footballers. Their fury unhinged us, and their efficient finishing expelled us from the game in 18 deadly first half minutes. From 1-0 up […]
Arsenal v Liverpool. An Acid Test.
Top of the Premier League table with 51 out of a possible 57 points, second most goals scored, most clean sheets and yet to lose a game this campaign… safe to say the Reds haven’t a foot wrong thus far innit? Good day one and all. Arsenal are up north this afternoon to take on […]
