GIVE IT TO O’NEILL!
Arsenal FC v Nottingham Forest FC Hello, how are you? Well, its dang good to be back and away from the interlull, a lull that witnessed, political and religious changes and scandal, managerial and player transfer speculation, half-baked jingoism, Trossard limping off, snows (of various forms) in November and the usual Victorian-styled propriety being shouted at […]
THE BATTLE OF STAMFORD BRIDGE, NOT 1066!
Hello and hope you’re doing well? Sunday the 10th of November will witness at 4.30pm (western European time) the Mighty Cannon hauling itself over to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea FC. Let me start by saying I have (thank whatever there is to thank) no solutions or answers, I’m someone that Trotsky has condemned […]
The Fans are Turning?
Good day one and all. We got into the game against Chelsea this weekend in a weakened state, both squad wise and mentally. The mood is flat and the rampant optimism of pre season has retreated like the turning tide. We have been playing poorly, losing regularly and all hope of improvement and revival is […]
A TRIP TO THE SAN SIRO!
Hello, and hope you’re well, despite the Arsenal blues, or is it more like how Holly G describes her emotions in ‘Breakfast at Tiffanys’: the ‘mean reds’? Anyway, red, blue or placid green, the mighty cannon makes another trip over the channel and onto the San Siro Stadium in Milano for a Champions League clash […]
THE TOON!
Hail fellows, and well met! How are you? Saturday 2nd of November at 12.30pm ( western European time) sees the mighty cannon take on Newcastle United up at St. James’ park. Aside of the early rise its sure to be a high octane clash? Unless its not. Anyway, its the clash of the ‘dark arts’ […]
CLASH OF THE INVINCIBLES!
Hello! How are you, hope you’re doing well? Tonight at 7.45pm (western European time) sees the mighty cannon take the train (etc) up to Preston, Lancashire, to take on Preston North End in the second of our Carabao Cup games for the 2024/5 season. So it’s back to Deepdale. I lived (suffered) on Deepdale road, […]
MERSEYBEAT
Hello, and how are you? Sunday October 27th at 4.30pm ( western European time) will mean a visit to the southern realms by Liverpool FC as they take on the mighty Cannon. Liverpool, as you know are a team with such a vast and decorated history that needs no introduction, so I won’t give them […]
Bournemouth FC v Arsenal FC, Back at it.
Hello! How are you? Good to be back from the lull of the international ‘break’? On Saturday the 19th of October 5.30pm (western European time) the mighty cannon takes up positions against Bournemouth FC down at Dean Court, Dorset. Hopefully all our players will come back from the international scraps with no scrapes and will […]
BONSOIR PARIS!
Arsenal FC v Paris Saint-Germain Bonjour! Comment vas-tu? J’espère que vous allez bien ? October the 1st 8.00pm (western European time) will see the second Champions League game for the Mighty Cannon, as we are set to task by the very chic Paris Saint-Germain. I’m sure for us all this is a very exciting game […]
Now That’s What I Call Football.
Good morning all. I don’t know about you, but I loved that game of football. We can’t yearn for the Champaign football of Arsene and then moan about how we made hard work of winning yesterday. For me it was the best we have played, at least on an aesthetic level, in more than 6 […]
