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.

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 […]

GUNS NORTHWARD HO!

Manchester City v Arsenal FC. Hello! How are you? I hope you’re doing well. Autumns speeding on, soon the leaves will be falling like something described in a 17th century haiku, floating down gently to cover up the sneaky dog-turds that apparently bless you with good luck should skid in one. Its at this time of […]

THE MEN FROM ATLANTIS!

On Thursday, September 19th at 8.00pm (western European time) we haul our Mighty Cannon like old Hannibal over the Alps, down into Bella Italia and set up attacking positions at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy, Europe, the planet Earth, […]

Effective Arsenal.

Good morning all. That my fellow positives was, as they endlessly say, was a massive win. Humongous even. We went there short of two of our most important and consistent players, and came away with all 3 points. Marvelous. What more could we ask for? Well, funny you should ask that, because that question confuses […]

Arsenal Versus Chelsea: End Of The Beginning

Three FA Cup finals in four years and a team so consistently excellent that finishing fifth is seen as a major disappointment. What a gloriously happy accident that my seven year old self should have chosen to support the side in the red shirts and white sleeves all those very many years ago. Was I […]

Arsenal Versus Sunderland: Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

Sorry but I’m struggling to get my head into football mode for you this morning. Don’t panic, I haven’t gone all Jose Mourinho,  I don’t regard the final fixtures of a season as any less interesting or important than the first, it isn’t that. I’m just buried in another project and it’s demanding all of […]
