There was a distinct end-of-season feel to the press conference ahead of Arsenal’s visit to Blackburn on Bank Holiday Monday. Four days before the event is perhaps too far in advance to be talking about who may or may not be available, but reading between the lines it looks as though Andrey Arshavin, the only […]

Thank you to Arsenal.com for reminding me of the ‘holicdad’s forty-eighth birthday present, and the first trophy I ever saw Arsenal win. Those of us born after Arsenal’s seventh Championship in 1953 had endured two failures in the preceding seasons. Successive League Cup defeats at Wembley to Leeds United and Swindon Town had left our […]

When the old man started taking me to Arsenal all those years ago I don’t think he could have imagined in his wildest dreams what he started. I doubt very much he could have predicted that one day I would be sitting in the old Caledonian market watching a bunch of strange individuals from around […]

So the press conference today has only added one name to the equation that we didn’t mention when discussing the Arsenal team yesterday. Does anybody expect Eduardo to get a start? Me neither. So let’s consider the opponents before squandering a pound on the potential outcome. City, like most clubs, do not have the same […]

The preview of the Citeh game will be tomorrow night, but I can save myself some time, and a couple of paragraphs, by picking the likely starting eleven for the Gunners tonight. The official website brings us the news that early hopes for a return by Andrey Arshavin are not to be rewarded, and only […]

I doubt I am the only Arsenal blogger who had visions of what they were going to write this evening, who then opened the Arseblog piece today, and turned several shades of green as well as red! We don’t quite see eye to eye in the minor details, so for example although Blogs was not […]

You know me ‘holics. I don’t like to be overly critical, so I think I will leave this one to you. These are ‘holics, who have backed Arsene and Arsenal through eight roller coaster months and enjoyed the ride, until today. That was unacceptable in every way, shape, or form. Please God, that lack of […]

Another preview, another injury. Whilst the title may have slipped from our grasp on the pitch, there is no question that we only need an injured goalkeeper to boast the best team in the world currently off it! The week that tested the faith is in the past and we have four matches left. All […]

You had one. I had one. The long forgotten feeling of losing to the neighbours with as good a side as we could put out started to bite today, rather than last night when the need to get a quick blog out kept me occupied on getting down the facts of the matter. They wanted […]

Growing up in the sixties might not be seen as the ideal time to be immersed in the red gene. Tottenham opened the decade with a double, and newspapers, the information highway of the day, waxed lyrically about their style of football. That continued through much of the remainder of the century, although Arsenal took […]
