Here I am again, happy as can be. Well that was a desperately disappointing night, wasn’t it positives? Simply put , for most of the game  we looked the better team, but we were not. If that makes any sense? Until they scored, bloody Sanchez of all the devils it could have been, with […]

  We face a Utd team buoyed by seven victories from seven under their new manager, with 19 goals scored and 4 conceded in that run. A number of players, notably Pogba and Rashford, have been thriving since Mourinho’s exit and ,presumably, enter the match with sky high confidence. However, it cannot be ignored that […]

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 […]

@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 […]

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 […]

@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 […]

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 […]

  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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
