Hello, hello. A very good afternoon to you all. With the Arsenal Annual General Meeting taking place yesterday and an important league game at Upton Park on Sunday night, there’s plenty of things to talk about both off and on the pitch. As my focus on this blog is usually to do with first-team matters […]

It’s the Ekka Show Day public holiday in Brisbane today (don’t ask me to explain) and that means I was able to enjoy a beautiful bottle of red last night and a little bit of a sleep-in this morning. Excellent. I’ve made the decision to switch the Arsenal FC Weekly podcast from Monday to Tuesday […]
Good afternoon to you all from a very sunny Brisbane and a very chirpy blogger. It’s a public holiday for Brisbane tomorrow so as soon as this goes online I’ll be off to have a few drinks and put my feet up. It’s a tale of two defenders today as our younger centre-backs compete for […]
I know it’s not related to Arsenal, but as far as weeks go I have to say that this one has been a bit of a shocker for me. Here are just a few of the reasons why: There is a rat that has been eating holes in the wall of our house and continually […]
‘Ello there! Nice to see you again. It’s Tuesday and it’s Guest Post time. I’ll get onto that in a moment but before then it’s a quick, bullet-pointed Arsenal news round-up: Manuel Almunia has called for Arsenal to make a better start to the new season than they made last campaign. Makes sense: if we […]
Good afternoon Arsenal FC Bloggers. I’ve picked up a fairly nasty cold over the past couple of days so today’s post is a bit of a sniffly one. It’s also full of guest-posty goodness – something I’ll talk about shortly – but before then I have couple of quick Arsenal-related news stories to get through: […]
Today is the first in a series of posts reviewing Arsenal’s 2008/09 season. This review will look at every facet of the Arsenal squad from the goalkeepers, defence, midfield and attack right up to the performance of the man in charge, Arsene Wenger. First up today though, the Arsenal goalkeepers get a grilling as I look […]
This is my first post since Thursday last week and since that time, quite a lot has happened. We’ve drawn Villarreal in the quarter-finals in the Champions League, lost Theo Walcott for at least three weeks due to a freak knee injury and now sit in fourth place outright in the Premier League thanks to […]
I must admit that my memory of last night’s epic 7-6 penalty-shootout win over Roma is something of a blur. A big, happy, confusing, exhilarating blur. To condense three hours worth of some of the most stressful football I have every watched is a tough ask, almost as difficult as being forced to watch over […]
Arsenal play Roma tomorrow night for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Our team takes a 1-0 first-leg lead with them to Rome, safe in the knowledge that a clean sheet will see them through while a goal would leave their Italian opponents needing to score three. In this pre-preview of Arsenal’s […]
