Too long since the last.



 

 

So yes, it’s been way too long since I’ve written anything, let alone Arsenal related. I think after we beat Leicester at home, and then the disappointment that followed just kept me down mentally, and I was a blank as a writer. No longer writing for ABW or anywhere else for that matter.

The game just changed..

 

So as specs of news filtered in over recent months about it being Foxtel’s last season showing our beloved Premier League in Australia, reality set in and the realisation that things are about to get a massive shake up for the fans of the number 1 football league in the world. 

It’s the maths that scares me.

 

It’s never been my strong suit. But I know enough to know that we are in trouble in the title race. People will say 9 games, 8 points isn’t a lot. But over the course of this blog, I’ll show how even now I’m close to pulling my faith plug on this season.

Confidence and contemplation.

 

So I’ve already broken my once every 7 days blog attempt. But as far as things are going for Arsenal, who cares! Things are looking up and two wins on the bounce after, was it four games without a goal? At one point we were 8 points behind Leicester, and it caused some to say that our race was blown. 

Shooting Blanks.

 

 

As the title suggests, things have been rather dull for us. Unless you live under a rock and haven’t heard, according to the many, our title chase is officially done. Leicester beating Man City last night leaves us 8 points back with the impending trip to Bournemouth ahead, we could cut it back to 5.

Referees suck. And other statements.

 

 

As my new weekly blogging format continues, I’ve not got a specific day planned out. So as such, this is my first since prior to the Chelsea farce. Quite an annoying regular occurrence now against them. Either we get a player sent off or they get a penalty. Maybe in seasons past we haven’t been at their level, but this season, I think we have missed a trick by not heaping more misery on them by at least taking 4 points this time around. 

Two points better then none.

 

 

While things could have gone either way in both games, at least we didn’t lose two games. Things seem pretty good right now, and I hope nothing chances going forward. One more seemingly difficult game to end this three game run, but which games in the Premier League are easy these days? 

A blogging resurrection.

 

My longest (again) between blogs and I guess it’s not that I lost the passion, but I think some of the spark definitely wore off. After 2 years of blogging and my views dwindling rather than growing, I took a little hiatus over the Christmas period.

Life and football.

 

So life it seems, has caught up with me and I don’t have the free time I once had. Damn you world!! While I’m still watching every game, my blogging has come to an utter halt. I would like to at least blog after every fixture, but it’s just not doable at the moment. 

Making strides.

Since I last blogged, we have beaten Bayern, Everton, lost to Sheffield Wednesday in the cup, and then got the better of Swansea away. So their is a lot to catch up on really. I don’t think I’ll go so long between blogs again, but life called and I had to answer.
