England bagged a win away at the Czech Republic yesterday, with Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly in the starting lineup, and having obviously not bothered to watch the game, I was hoping to see that Bukayo had a decent performance. I've spoken already about how he's been doing ok this season, bagged some goals, but [...]
So, who survived the latest round of international torture, eh? I was making food for dinner last night, and I heard Sky Sports say that after Alexander Isak was sent home because of a minor injury, Cody Gakpo has now also been sent home for Liverpool, which means their front line is starting to look [...]
We're not even a full week into this extended and, frankly, f*cking annoying international foreverness, and we've already got a reason to say piss off to it. Honestly, this is why we seem to get more annoyed by international breaks than anyone else, because it feels like every time we have one, there's an Arsenal [...]
Morning, boys and girls, hope you're all well. Yesterday I was waxing lyrical about Mikel Arteta's new deal, and in that blog I talked about how we need to start looking at Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice next. Well, wouldn't you just know it, but Tuesday and yesterday's news started emerging about just that. Declan [...]
I don't know about you, but given what happened last weekend, I was hoping that the desire to talk about something else - even England - would have kicked in a little more by now. I'm going to try to give it a go, but whether I'll be able to hit my normal 1,000 words [...]
I know we're playing later, so this schadenfreude might age like four-day-old milk being left out on the back patio in summer, but man, it's funny to laugh at Chelsea. I was doing other things last night, so I only checked in and out on the game, but seeing them drop a 3-0 away to Brentford [...]
Man United getting done over by Brighton was a bit funny last night, wasn't it, eh? I saw the Sesko 'assist'. Ouch. That won't make good viewing when they get in the video room for the post-match analysis today/tomorrow. As for us, in the next round, it's a relatively kind away one at Fleetwood Town. [...]
If last season taught us anything, it's that Sunderland are a side not to be taken lightly. That 2-2 up at the Stadium of light come over my birthday weekend in November, I was up in the North East, funnily enough, but on the black and white side, and Arsenal were gut-punched late on to [...]
Happy Friday, boys and girls. I hope wherever you are, you enjoy the end of the working week, or if you still have to work tomorrow anyway, you at least get the 'Friday vibes'. Not least because The Arsenal play tomorrow. It's a trip up to the Stadium of Light to play Sunderland, who last [...]
The boy is well and truly back. Martin Odegaard, captain extrodinaire, leader, goalscorer, the metronome through which our creative play flows, showed everyone watching last night just what you get when he is fully fit, in form, and able to deliver in the final third of the pitch. 121 touches in total, drifting over to that right-hand [...]
