Lets not be Delusional: Cesc is Going to Barcelona

The writing is on the wall. Barcelona want Cesc. Cesc wants Barcelona. This is the way it was a year ago, this is still the way it is now. Wenger managed to persuade Fabregas to stay for just one more season, but given the same-old lackluster could-have-been-a-trophy performance, he has no reason to stay.
We have [...]

Everyone is Hysterical Over Arsenal

I can’t believe how many news stories I’ve seen over the past couple of days analyzing Arsenal. Our beloved club has become the foremost subject of scrutiny. It’s as though every journalist, analyst, and commentator has come out of the woodwork to take a sliver of Arsenal and put it under the microscope. If Arsene [...]

Happy Birthday Lukasz Fabianski

I don’t really know where to start. Everything seemed to be going so well for our makeshift squad as we were 2-0 up against a woeful Wigan in the 80th minute. That should really be the end of the story. Unfortunately, the B team we had on the pitch forgot to finish the game and [...]

United and Liverpool Slip Up

With Manchester only winning a point today the possibility of Arsenal winning the league, all-be-it without Fabregas, seems all the more… possible. Despite our consistent reign of injuries we suffer we do have an easier schedule, still, than the United or Chelsea. I’m not sure how far we will be able to go without Fabregas [...]

One More Season, No More Trophies

So I haven’t written a post in what is pretty much forever in blog years. I thought I would head things off before it got out of hand and I really hit the 1 year mark. Don’t insult me too much, but don’t disappoint me either.
The season has ended in a rather spectacular fashion. We [...]

Arsenal’s Easy Schedule Thus Far, and the Difficult Schedule Ahead

We’re top o’ the league right now and it feels damn good. What makes it even sweeter is the fact that we have a game in hand. So, realistically speaking, we’re top of the league and potentially a point or three ahead of Manchester United, the dastardly cunts. I’ve been thinking about the season thus [...]

The Return of Van Persie

Robin Van Persie’s unfortunate injury during the Euro qualifiers has sidelined him for what will soon be a month. Van Persie recently stated that strikers need more protection from those trying to take them down. I can only assume he isn’t talking about birth control, but instead about referees. It’s easy to see how Van [...]

Boring Arsenal (or Undefeated but Utter Dreck)

Well that was a well won point… or was it? 90+ minutes of football in the freezing cold rain resulted in a total of 12 shots, 3 of which were on goal, from both sides. I don’t know if this should be attributed to playing away in Prague, the weather, or the squad selection. Regardless, [...]

Liverpool Trying to Upstage Arsenal?

Liverpool won their Champion’s League tie today 8-0 against an embittered Besitkas side. Besitkas clearly would have been better off forfeiting the game to retain their pride in beating Liverpool back in Turkey land. Liverpool has been looking depressingly, or rather joyfully, inept in their last several games, domestic and internationally. Today they managed to [...]

Fourth Ain’t So Bad

It looks as though our fourth place spot has been secured. Potentially we could take 3rd if Liverpool slips up, which is quite possibly with their focus on the Champion’s League final… lousy scousers. Given the turmoil of our season, the injuries, and the new blood, fourth is really good. In fact I’m quite happy [...]
