Oh yes, I most certainly have had worse days. Strangely though I never doubted it would be our day. When I say never, I am perhaps going overboard, but have you ever seen a team so desperately in need of three points play so negatively? City got exactly what they deserved. Nothing. On arrival at […]

If the Arsenal of the last five weeks turns up, then we can be confident… All of the right noises are coming out of the club, fully aware that the fragile ally that is confidence could be sucked out of the side if complacency is allowed to creep in. I scare myself sometimes. The Arsenal […]

The day has arrived when even I could not type two letters together on arrival back home last night. For that I have to thank so many people this piece would just become a list of names. Yesterday was one of those days that adds to the virtual cement that bonds Arsenal supporters. An early […]

I’m not sure my poor old ticker can take much more. Once again, if you watched this and don’t understand what makes people so passionate about the game then you need a check-up from the neck up. That was just about everything, good and bad, wrapped up in ninety-five minutes of high drama. I’ll say […]

At last. Friday night. It’s been a long hard week but at least now I have a chance to preview this weekend’s game. What? Monday? That cannot be right. It has clearly confused Arsene as well who I have just watched talking about having Andre Santos ready for Tuesday, or maybe it was a coded […]

You don’t need anything like a conventional match report. There can be very few football supporters across continents where the game was being shown at a reasonable hour who did not watch at least some of that. What we saw was the greatest sport on the planet as pure theatre. At the off I will […]

Sometimes when you least expect a day to go well for you, it gives you the most gloriously unexpected pleasures. The morning started better than I had envisaged when Emmanuel Frimpong made a hilarious appearance on Soccer am, or whatever it may be called these days. I am not a regular viewer. For those who […]

I’ve had worse days up the Arsenal. I suppose in the interests of fairness I should confess I wasn’t quite so laid back after half an hour, or more. Who was? Such a difference from the optimism I had built up on the journey to the new home of football. I had started the day […]

I’m looking at the stats on the BBC. The stats say we had 55% of the ball.The stats say we had more shots, and what’s more we had more shots on target. Well if that isn’t just proof that there are lies, there are damned lies, and then there are statistics, I don’t know what […]
