I thought I’d throw out a cheeky Saturday blog today, just because I can. More correctly it’s because I’ve had a couple of beers and have a bit of time on my hands. Hooray! First things first I just want to say “thank you” to everybody who left comments on yesterday’s post. To have over […]

Hello there and a happy, happy Friday to all of you. If you’re anything like what I am today – still glowing as a result of Arsenal’s performance on Wednesday night – then you’ll surely be reading this post with a big smile on your face. Nice one. It’s essentially a three-part post today as […]
We knocked and we knocked. We huffed and we puffed (and maybe even spat). And we blew Hull’s house down. Despite falling behind to Nicky Barmby’s deflected opener, Arsenal were able to put in a second-half performance of real quality to snatch a thrilling 2-1 FA Cup win over Hull through two late goals from Robin […]
Hello again and a very happy St Patrick’s Day to you all – particularly Mr Arseblogger – who flies the green and red flag for all of those Irish Arsenal supporters out there. It’s Hull City tonight in the FA Cup and should things go well then there’s sure to happy, drunk Arsenal supporters roaming […]
With a vitally important trip to Rome later in the week, yesterday’s comfortable 3-0 win over Burnley in the FA Cup was just what the doctor ordered. Rarely in the same will you see three goals of such gorgeous technical quality. Yet Carlos Vela’s scintillating run and delightful chip, Emmanuel Eboue’s fine low finish and Eduardo’s […]
‘Tis another wonderfully sunny and beautiful day on this side of the globe. And better still, it’s Friday afternoon and that means the weekend. Celebrations are in order and I’ve started them in the best possible way by sipping on a couple of white wines. Absolutely superb. This weekend is an exciting one for Arsenal. We […]
As far as returns from year-long absences go, Eduardo’s wasn’t all that bad, was it? A 60-minute performance full of zest and zip and many other things starting with ‘Z’ was capped off with two goals as the Brazilian returned from his leg break to help Arsenal to a 4-0 win over Cardiff last night. […]
So the football resumes tonight – with Arsenal hosting Cardiff City at the Emirate – and that means the blog is back too. Did you miss me? In truth I had a highly tumultuous weekend. The fun of Mama Fry’s 50th on Saturday was ruined by subsequent food poisoning I dealt with for the rest […]
Hello there. I trust you’re all feeling a bit better than you were yesterday. I’m hoping that the London-based supporters amongst us were able to give their Tottenham-supporting colleagues a great deal of rubbish about failing to score against 10 men. An international break week (or ‘week break’, I can never work out which way […]
It’s a three-part blog today with an update on Andrei Arshavin, some thoughts on the 0-0 FA Cup draw with Cardiff and a sheepish yet predictable apology for going missing yesterday. I’m sure the Australians who read the blog will understand. Andrei Arshavin So it’s big, big, big news to start with: Arsenal and Zenit […]
