**This is long, sorry. I guess there were more highlights than anyone is willing to give us credit for** Sorry for the hefty delay between the depressing original part of this end of season blog and this, the (hopefully) marginally more cheery one, but there was a small case of dashing Frenchman to attend to [...]
Oh God it’s all done and finished and we got there and oh my God what a mess it was in general. I mean truly. From start to finish, there was no medium. There was no dull moment. There was no boredom. Even 0-0 against Bolton away produced murmurings and sighs of ‘We’re just not [...]
Arsenal 1-2 Wigan Well last night was rubbish. Not really much more to say of it than that. Wigan wanted and needed points and played very well throughout (though both goals were STUPID) and we just looked like we were playing up against a glass wall. A glass wall that covered roughly the final third [...]
Oh God I have soooooooo much work to do. So much so that I think I’ll write a blog post with absolutely no relevance to the degree I am about a month off finishing. That’ll sort all my troubles. We’ve been having beautiful weather in London over the past week. I’m sure if you have friends [...]
It’s probably a bit pointless writing this now at 8.52pm the night after the match, but as my Granny would possibly say, if you cannae blether in happy times, then when can you blether? So let us blether on long and loud and proud. ‘Til Saturday at least. It’s quite cosy in Arseland at the [...]
Arsenal 2 – 1 Newcastle United ‘Arsenal are the first team to have come from behind to go on and win the match in four matches consecutively in Premier League history’. Saaaaay whaaaaaaaat? This Arsenal? ‘Just not good enough’ Arsenal? Higgledy piggledy superglued together squad of rubbish Arsenal? The new Arsenal borne of the loins [...]
I’m aware we have a huge game later on today. Though giving games sizes quite annoys me. Will the pitch balloon? The ball double in size? The players shoot up like sunflowers? No they will not. It is an average-sized game with a lot of importance attached to it. Better. And since all but Chelsea’s [...]
Arsenal 3 – 0 AC Milan Feeling after last night’s match couldn’t have been more different to feeling after the first leg in Milan if it had tried. After the 4-0 beat down we endured back then, there was anger, sadness, disappointment, confusion and serious panic. There were no explanations as to just how horrible [...]
Liverpool 1 – 2 Arsenal I think it’s fair to say that in this rollercoaster of a season we have been ‘enjoying’ so far, one of the twistiest, windiest parts of the ride has come over the past few weeks. We teetered on the brink of overconfidence as we strolled out onto a potato field [...]
Let’s be honest, this season, does anyone know whether we’re upside down or left or right or in or out any more? There may well have been good feeling ahead of yesterday’s North London Derby (I love that about Arsenal fans… doom and gloom in the days before, but Morning Of – we feel invincible!). [...]
