Arsenal: Chelsea 2:2
Evening Positives fans, A point each, not a bad game of football, plenty of quality footballers on both sides. Ample cut and thrust although neither side had the guile to really open the other up. Half chances, and some good keeping, but the defenders had the edge over the 90. However yet another game ruined […]
Arsenal vs Chelsea: A test of priorities, a question of status.
Hello el Positivista! Arsenal is kicking off 2018 with the Emirates the stage as we welcome London rivals Chelsea. The Blues come into this match with great form and an extra day’s rest, we, of course, got winded by the Hawthorns con-job and, well, we also haven’t exactly been vintage these last few weeks. However, […]

Arsenal and the green fairy
Good morning to those who are staunch Positives, Not the result we wanted, and probably not the result most of us expected, with the Baggies languishing in the PL depths on New Years Eve and our football at Selhurst Park having some great style. Of the things we did well I thought Granit and Jack […]

@LaboGoon eases us into New Year’s Eve Arsenal travel to the Hawthorns of West Brom this afternoon to bid au revoir to 2017 – and hopefully we do so in style. After being victorious in the opening two PL fixtures of the season, WBA have failed to get another win since and has slipped all […]
Mourinho, The Special Hypocrite
Mourinho’s latest calculated big play, talking about money and its impact, is pretty incredible. He’s right. 100 per cent right, in that Man City’s crazy spending and greater wealth than Utd has made his task of trying to make utd top dogs much harder or, quite possibly, beyond him. But the hypocrisy of […]
Arsenal: To Learn to Play the Tune
Good morning and welcome to the 29th December 2017 Positive Arsenal fans, Did you enjoy that after six days of sporting abstinence ? I did. A genuinely good game of football last night I thought. I fancied it might turn into a bit of a boot’n’fist carnival but I could not have been more wrong. […]

Arsenal: Every good boy deserves football
Good morning Positives, A sumptuous evening of entertainment last night from two of the three best attacking sides in the country last night. The perfect paradigm of the two half contest. Thrills, a couple of goalkeeping spills, a point apiece the only fair result. Yes, yes, yes I know three points would have been […]
