Well, now, that was a great Sunday afternoon, wasn't it? Arsenal went up to Anfield, a place that is traditionally a painful experience; they went to a ground that normally sees the home fans come away happy, and us trudge home; they went to the North West, where we don't usually fare too brightly, and [...]
There are just three match days I absolutely hate. Today is one of them. The other two are: The NLD away - just hate the stakes, even when they are shit and we've beaten them on their own ground for the last couple of seasons The Emptihad - because, like Anfield, we just never win [...]
Happy Saturday, kids. How are we all feeling? I had a Turkish last night; they gave us an extra meal by mistake, so I'll not say I'm in the finest of forms. A couple of bottles of Bordeaux didn't quite help the situation either. Anyway, we must make do with what we've got, and what [...]
Happy Friday, boys and girls. Do you ever have those weeks where it feels like it's absolutely flown by? That's me this week. Which is a good thing that the Fleetwood game happened earlier in the week, because I've been able to mitigate the 'banter' damage from friends and family, whilst also moving on myself [...]
It's Thursday; we still have a few days until the big one at Anfield on Sunday, so the talk about that game should ramp up from today. I became a self-employed worker in September, so I don't have an office - per se - but I know a few people who said they took pelters for [...]
We gotta take our licks this morning, boys and girls, because we're out of the League Cup to a team who are down there in League Two currently fighting off a relly scrap. That's the media narrative that will be peddled today and, if we're honest, sometimes you just have to accept it. Like Chester [...]
First things first: The Ballon d'Or. Not for me. Sorry, but in a team sport, individual awards are just a bit pointless. And ever since Thierry Henry was passed over for Pavel Nedved, I've always scoffed at these a bit, so congrats to Harry Kane but 'meh'. And I'm also not that fussed about the [...]
With Arsenal doing their job on Saturday, having already seen the women beat the Scum and Man City lose away to Villa, yesterday was a day to enjoy a bit of hate-watch TV. And although Liverpool won, the fact it was Brighton on the other end is probably a good thing for us. Hürzeler is [...]
That was as routine and solid a win as you're going to get yesterday. And I couldn't be happier. 3 p.m. kickoff, a historically stubborn opponent, we haven't scored a set piece or a first-half goal in a while...that felt like it was going to be a grind in appalling conditions yesterday. Instead, The Arsenal [...]
It's match day; it's Everton, and as I said yesterday, it's going to be another tough one in which an opponent tries to stifle and contain us. This one isn't going to end up 4-0 to The Arsenal. Everton are going to be a tough nut to crack, whilst also having a fair bit of [...]
