The return of real football is imminent, and what a task faces the recently misfiring Gunners at home to Manchester City. With all that is going on around the club at the moment you could be forgiven for thinking that the team will be up against more than just City and their supporters on Sunday. Recent […]

I’m not sure if I am progressing joylessly into my latter years turning prematurely Meldrew, or if things really are utterly depressing at the moment. I’ll not dwell on Brexit on this platform other than to say I firmly believe we would have been better off trying to change Europe’s clear issues from the inside […]

So, extremely tired, I thought I would watch Germany playing England last night. I have taken to not watching them all the time now because frankly watching England in 2017 reflects watching Arsenal in 2017. They rarely play attractive football and psychologically they are way below the level they need to be at. However I […]

News broke early that Mesut Ozil would miss the trip to the Hawthorns. Arsenal Wenger explained that he had picked up a minor hamstring niggle in training yesterday. The manager also opted for a very flexible potential front three of Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck, and Alexis. I doubt the players would have seen Thierry Henry’s view […]

“We now want to focus on the championship again and forget about the cup a little bit. We have a good month to come back in a strong position in the Premier League.” Arsene Wenger, talking to arsenal.com, sums up where the focus lies going into a run of five Premier League fixtures interrupted by […]

I am starting writing this, whatever this becomes, at half-time in Monaco. Yes, I am a bit of a masochist watching this week’s Champions League ties after our mauling by Bayern Munich. I’m glad I did though. There is no doubt both matches involving the English clubs have produced absolute thrillers. Whilst many on social […]

Stepping out onto Holloway Road three hours before kick-off it was evident just what this game meant to the good folk of Lincoln. Families bedecked in red and white stripes were everywhere. In the pub more familiar faces gathered to witness the first-half of the rugby before decamping to the stadium. The small matter of […]

“We’re professional people, we’re winners, we expect to win, we’re used to winning, we like winning, we enjoy winning, our lives are better when we’re winning.” One of the managers is sounding particularly bullish ahead of Saturday evening’s FA Cup quarter-final. “We go to Arsenal with a game plan, and to try and execute it.
