A month is a long time in blogging – Third-Gen squints in the sunlight

After more emails received than I expected, I’ve finally found some time to re-awaken the blog and pummel it back into life.
In short, it’s been a time where I’ve been swamped by work and other commitments to leave me completely unable to find the time or summon up the energy to blog. It’s hard enough [...]

We’re out of the Cup. Time to get over it.

If you were realistic before going into this game, you knew that there was pretty much only one likely result yesterday, and it wasn’t in favour of Arsenal.
Arsenal succumed to a physically imposing Stoke City who sensed a chance for an ‘upset’ and duly took it. Arsenal did not cover themselves in glory at all [...]

A draw would be worse than a loss for Arsenal

A quick FA Cup preview before I totter off to bed – and miss the match as a result, dammit.
Given our well-documented Satan’s Run of Fixtures coming up, we all know the need to rotate the side going into our away match against Stoke.

Dzeko, Smalling rumours + Campbell and JET in mystery line-up

Feeling satisfied by my Bolton-bashing, I’ll start the day with a little transfer rumour goodness.
Many have noted, including Le Grove and Myles Palmer, that Arsene Wenger missed training (imagine Tom Cruise missing a Scientology awards evening) the day before the Bolton match and conducted an earlier-than-usual press conference.
It coincides tastily alongside rumours of Arsenal signing [...]

Arsenal 4 Whinging Nannies 2: Top of the league, ’nuff said

Arsenal showed a thrilling fillip of character to stage a mighty comeback and deny Bolton a shock win at the Emirates.
After going down criminally by two goals in 30 minutes, the Gunners fought back with a vengeance, laying waste to Bolton and ending top of the table.
Poor defending from Diaby, Rosicky and Clichy allowed Gary [...]

Arsenal need to be like a dominant woman tonight

The prospect of going top of the league hasn’t presented itself too often to Arsenal over the last few years. While not nearly as bad as Liverpool or Spurs – with more false dawns than I have fingers and toes – we’ve had our hopes cruelly twisted before, and while I’m not getting ahead of [...]
