Howdy, a quick look at the Saturday stories for you.

The main one is that goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has

Blog Post: Exit Music.

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 07:30:00 +0100

This could be the last post for a long time but I will probably manage something tomorrow. I'm sitting on my sofa full of painkillers after playing football with a pulled muscle in my back and suffering for every single second of the 90 minutes. How I forgot to take something in...

Blog Post: Postscript

Fri, 12 Jun 2009 17:28:32 +0100

Hello!

What's this? Two posts in a day? Yep, I really should be packing, but packing for a four day break in Rome when the weather is forecast to be "hot and sunny, every day hot and sunny" (thank you Bill Hicks) is not exactly going to tax me. Hmmm, what...

Blog Post: Innocence.

Fri, 22 May 2009 16:28:22 +0100

It's Friday lunchtime in work for me and I have to be as quick as possible as I am starving. After work today it's straight home and straight out to football and as a result I'll miss the first leg of the FA Youth cup final on the telly tonight. Our boys take on Liverpool at The...

Blog Post: No Rest.

Thu, 23 Apr 2009 07:00:00 +0100

All day yesterday the talk among football folk was about our 4-4 draw at Anfield the night before and the performance of Arshavin. He was simply magnificent in his finishing and he spoke yesterday to say that he is finding it difficult still at the moment and he will be a lot...

Blog Post: Some Bizarre Version

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:09:10 +0100

Thanks everyone for your comments over the last day. It seems that there is still a struggle going on to understand the motives of the manager in leaving Andrey Arshavin on the bench on Saturday. For me, I guess the frustration is that we all know how hard it is to beat Chelsea,...

Blog Post: We must look forward, like forward looking otters

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 07:09:04 +0100

Morning all, it's a new week and there's no point looking backwards. We can sit around all day and wonder why he didn't pick Arshavin, in particular, or Song but it's not going to make the slightest bit of difference to anything.

We play Liverpool at Anfield tomorrow night and that's...

Blog Post: The Walk.

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 07:00:00 +0100

As I said yesterday I think Fabianski should have done the decent thing and taken Drogba out just below the knee rather than letting him score Chelsea's winning goal. He would have had to take "The Walk" back to the dressing room but he would have taken one for the team. He may...

Blog Post: It Doesn't Make It Alright.

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 18:58:58 +0100

The disappointment of losing yesterday's semi final to Chelsea has more or less worn off at this stage. I, like everybody else, didn't expect too much more when I saw the team selection. I stated a few weeks ago that I expected Arshavin to play every single domestic game for the...

Blog Post: The Worst Moment Ever

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 11:21:09 +0100

At around 5.40 yesterday, this blog was tentatively titled "The Hand of Ashley Cole". Unfortunately, my suspicion that we had scored too early proved to be correct and I don't think we were quite at it yesterday evening.

There is a chapter, or a section, in...

As Lassana Diarra, having previously blasted Arsène Wenger for not being able to let go of the fact that Diarra left to join Portsmouth last winter, forgets that he said all that and takes yet another pop at le boss it's kind of refreshing to hear a young talent talk with such...

Blog Post: Friday I'm In Love.

Fri, 10 Apr 2009 17:38:46 +0100

First of all today the injury news for tomorrow's game against Wigan is that Gallas' season is over, Almunia is out for 3 weeks and Clichy is ou for 2 weeks. Also after not playing for the reserves last night Rosicky will not be back for a while says the boss. With the season...

Blog Post: There Goes The Fear

Thu, 9 Apr 2009 13:16:52 +0100

The Champions League quarter final last year was a reminder for those who had forgotten, or perhaps were too young to remember, how things things always, but always used to go for Liverpool in their 80's era of dominance and how we hated them for it. The latter day model are...

Blog Post: Lifelines

Wed, 8 Apr 2009 13:17:26 +0100

I think, after writing this blog for the last 6-7 months, one of the themes that have emerged is how things can change in the blink of an eye. We've seen it time and time again over the season and we saw it again last night.

Arsenal, unsettled by that...
