Good afternoon Positives, Six changes but the job done against a ‘muscular’ Watford side who, as we all too well know, have proven to be a damn nuisance before at the Ems. The first half was no great advert for Premier League football and while both sides had flashes of quality passing I did not […]

@LaboGoon and the Arsenal vs Watford programme notes Good morning one and all. Early kick-off for the Arsenal as they host Watford just after lunch. The past few weeks leading up to the San Siro has been tough on all of us as football showed it’s unforgiving side, and with that the natives became restless. […]

Good morning Positives, A livelier spring in the step this morning as we emerge from the footballing fog of the past fortnight. What a good performance and an even better result in Milan last night. We put together what I’d say is the best team performance this season. Against good quality opponents who were in […]

  Friends, Romans, Arsenal men, lend me your ears I come to praise Arsene, not to butcher him.  There is feeding frenzy involving second rate hacks, Billy big bollocks bloggers, podcasters and hate filled attention seeking halfwit fans, all picking over the not yet dead corpse of our greatest ever manager. A man that is […]

Good afternoon Positives, There we are then, a poor week finished off for all sports of footballing and no-footballing reasons by a defeat to Brighton. Reviewing in my mind’s eye the performance today we lost the game as a result of a period of incomprehensibly poor defending during a 35 minute period when our defensive […]

@LaboGoon times his visit to Brighton for an early Sunday lunch Good morning one and all. Arsenal travel to the city of Brighton this afternoon to play their pride at the Amex. I can tell you one thing ….. for everyone’s sanity this is a game each of our players and the boss want to […]

Good Friday morning Positive Arsenal fans, A better performance last night than Sunday but the same scoreline against a set of attacking players who at this rate will tear up the Premier League record book easily. In spite of my early season scepticism, Citeh appear to be very serious contenders for the Champions League final. […]

@LaboGoon cocks an early snook at the snow Good morning one and all. Barely recovered from Sunday’s loss to Man City and it’s subsequent hysterics (which does have a life of it’s own) and here we go again……. hosting them at the Emirates. Hopefully our players are better at shaking things off than we are […]

  The next Arsenal boss will be a head coach in a framework. I’m not looking forward to AW’s departure. But I am looking forward to a time when the club’s identity is a sort of permanent shared vision rather than the philosophy of whoever is in charge at the time. To which I say, […]

Good morning bearers of the Positive flame, Such are the risks of contesting the final of a competition, that the prize is tantalisingly within one’s grasp, and when one’s reach is not quite sufficient to make that final fingertip contact , so the disappointment is all the more acute. Wembley for the past seven seasons […]
