Jogging in winter makes you remember that hands are indeed ‘extremities’.
A quick blog today. Most of the news circles around Robin van Persie, as he goes on the PR rampage in upping Arsenal’s title-tilting chances this season. Robin apparently doesn’t feel any pressure or obligation to be the top scorer this season, saying he ‘doesn’t [...]

Two matches in two days feels a little wierd. But hey. Action, action, action!

Sleep was non-existent, last night. As a result, this post will be short but sweet.
So Arsenal lose their final Austrian friendly against a side whose season is already underway, finishing on the wrong side of a 1-0 scoreline. Interesting notes on the match included Eduardo’s first full 90 minutes for Arsenal – in which he [...]

So Ljungberg left with some sour comments aimed at the club, keeping up the fashionable “I hate Arsenal” being spouted by a host of ex-players and departures. He’s been unveiled as West Ham’s Numero Seven, incidently – I always said over the years he was the poor man’s Beckham, though that was more down to [...]
