For once I don’t need to spend my Thursday night doing the preview of the weekend match. It will be good to see the Friday lunchtime press conferences before casting a critical eye over Saturday’s contest. A preview is required, nonetheless. The other Friday lunchtime newsmaker will be the draw for the quarter-finals and semi-finals […]

Nothing much to report today other than a surprising dose of realism and common sense from Stuart Pearce about Theo Walcott. “If you think about it, Theo is still playing two or three years short (of the Under-21 limit). He’s the second youngest in the group but he’s played every game for me, started every […]

‘Hello Mr ‘holic, this is (insert name of bored Virgin call centre employee here). You wrote to us about Arsenal TV’ ‘Yes, that’s right’ ‘Well it is launching on the fourteenth …’ ‘Hang on. It launched on the 14th of the month before last. My complaint is that I haven’t got it.’ ‘Oh, sorry, I […]

The little voices in my head are at war again. ‘Third draw in a row against a side we should beat’ says the first. ‘So what, it’s still in our hands and that is one early St Totteringhams Day’, says the other. It is astonishing that a side that has lost just one league game […]

Have boots, will play. That could be Arsenal’s motto as they prepare to take on Wigan Athletic at a bumpy JJB Stadium. We are down to the bare bones in midfield and if Alex Song fails to regain fitness it would not be a surprise to see one of the next generation of youngsters, perhaps […]

A fleeting visit today I’m afraid. There was work to do this morning and a meeting to prepare for tonight . Fortunately beer will be involved later which will be more than welcome. Anyway, I was reading the news that Liam Brady is set to take on a role with the Republic of Ireland side, […]

The alcohol hasn’t flowed as freely this evening. With no all-consuming distractions I haven’t demolished over a litre of Scotland’s finest as I somehow managed last night. No wonder I was a happy bunny! The reflections are now a little more measured, and after the reports from those who journeyed to the San Siro have […]

Sorry about that! You have found a very, very drunk and very, very happy Arsenal blogger. According to Arsene Wenger we have just beaten the European champions with ‘audacity and enthusiasm’. From where I was watching we beat them with better football! Arsenal football! Doubtless before long there will be match reports from people who […]

Thanks to those who have forwarded this bit of information. ‘Arsenal TV is now in testing on ex-NTL (no idea about ex-Telewest, they usually begin testing after though), it is using the space left by the removed Classic FM TV and also has Classic FM TV’s EPG information.’ I was intending to return to this […]

Ask me at the start of every season what one trophy you want to win this season, and I will tell you the Premiership trophy, no question. Give me tonight a guarantee that we will land one prize in May and I will plump for the same title. Yet if you were to ask my […]
