Arsenal: Darkness after noon, the cock shall not crow

@LaboGoon leads the congregation in this morning’s worship  “Victory through Harmony” vs “To do is to dare” The North London Derby. What a fixture to restart the PL after the international break that finalizes places for Russia 2018. Arsenal and Spurs both go into today’s game having so much to play for; namely pride, bragging […]

Arsenal: The Fall of Fate

Good morning Positives, So … another international break, another fortnight to ponder the knowns v unknowns of our chosen sport, the carefully laid plans, the freaks of opportunity and of fortune, the strengths and weaknesses of character, and a reluctant acceptance of Fate. After Super Sunday, Meditative Monday. Of yesterday’s match I felt that we […]

Arsenal vs Manchester City – Daunting?

  It’s @LaboGoon once again “Daunting”… That’s the word many in the media space use to draw us a picture building up to our game at the Etihad. I don’t necessarily think they do this to dishearten us per se, it’s more to do with the excitement and the ‘aura’ that encompass Pep’s team at the […]

Arsenal: Easing Through

  Good morning sons and daughters of the Positive persuasion, I would say a measured step into the “Round of 32” of the Europa League achieved with minimum fuss last night. We expected a positive result, we got the result we needed. The A team v B team format in PL and Cup competitions is […]

Stop Gushing Over Others and Support Arsenal !

    Good morning my positive friends. Now, where to start? Perhaps we should start by crying about how good a team the UAE F.C. have bought themselves up in Manchester? Or maybe wallow in pity about Spurs managing to beat a Real Madrid team that find themselves in the middle of a doldrums rarely […]

Arsenal: Gathering swallows Twitter in the skies

Good Morning Positive Arsenal fans, A fine Sunday morning here, windy but bright Autumnal sunshine and mellow fruitfulness. Of yesterday’s contest as expected a well drilled Swansea defensive side posed a number of problems for the first 45 before cracking and allowing us to pocket the three points, as expected. Some comments I see have […]

Arsenal vs Swansea – There’s No Place Like Home.

A guest post from @LaboGoon When Arsène Wenger changed formation in the final two months of last season we went on an incredible run. There was balance between offense and defense, and with all the players playing their part it was a thing of beauty man. Those who stood tall were Koscielny, Monreal, Ramsey, Xhaka, Alexis, […]

A Win Is A Win. And We won BTW

A guest post for Double Canister      “Until Edward Nketiah came on we lacked ideas and creativity” said Arsene Wenger in the post-match interview, and who am I to disagree? The match line-up was predictably predicted in advance by most pundits, including our own Pedantic George and this is now clearly seen as Arsenal’s […]

Arsenal v Norwich, The Jack And Oli Show

Good morning friends. Macey Nelson Debuchy ElNeny Holding AMN Coquelin Jack Theo Giroud Iwobi Would be my best guess for the starting eleven. Norwich City F.C. seem to be on a bit of a high, but perhaps they might play a changed team ,as their priority will be the league, and they played a big […]

Arsenal: Five from Four

Good morning Positives, A sumptuous Sunday lunch served up for Arsene’s birthday by the players yesterday and enjoyed by all who attended. I think that sums up our collective experience of the game yesterday – what say you ? Even those home supporters who had the mental strength to stay to the end will have […]
