Happy Friday peeps! Today is press conference day and so Mikel will be asked about the Champions League games, the game ahead against United, maybe even what he thinks about Brentford in the League Cup (although, maybe not ;-) ). There's also the small matter of the transfer window closing and I wonder if Mikel [...]
Right, plenty to get on with today, so let's get straight to it. First, the part of our fate for fixtures this season we do now know, which is that we will be playing Brentford away in the League Cup. That is probably one of the worst ties you could hope for in this competition. [...]
It would have had to have been a very cold day in hell for me to have watched Man City smash Real Madrid last night. The fact they did gave me about 1% feeling of "well, they've just tonked the European Champions, so perhaps the inevitable was going to happen for us. In my attempt [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety. Welly, welly, welly. Wellington, wellington, wellington. It appears as though the rules around Financial Fair Play that we all thought were largely irrelevant are, in fact, looked and and reviewed by the Premier League. Yesterday's announcement that Man City have allegedly breached 101 different Premier League rules - from failing to disclose [...]
Morning folks. Hope you’re all good? Did you watch the Champions League final last night? I didn’t. Last thing I wanted to see was a massive build up about how super amazing Liverpool are and how they’re the greatest side to have ever walked the planet. And yet having suffered defeat yesterday, their season has [...]
Looks like Alexandre Lacazette has been keeping his eyes open and options available for his next move, having spoken to French TV, who yesterday released his comments about having multiple offers from teams and also wanting to play for a Champions League club. I'm sure you do Alex, I'm sure you do. But let's not [...]
I find it very difficult to watch the Champions League these days. The frustrations of seeing other teams progress when we haven't had a stab at it in so long is annoying and the fact that over the last 10 days or so we have - what feels to me like - probably lost our [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Friday. The weekend approacheth and we have a London Colney Derby to look forward to on Sunday, as we travel to Watford knowing anything else other than victory will most likely set us back in our Champions League Top Four pursuit. Watford are managed under a wily old fox in [...]
I often wonder how much of a 'football fan' I actually am you know. I mean, I'm a die-hard Arsenal fan and birthdays, special occasions and holidays are often navigated around based on the football calendar, but football fan? Not so much. Take this round of midweek action currently going on. Not watched a single second of it. No [...]
Morning folks. How is it Thursday already? Before you know it we'll be staring down the barrel of a trip to Clobbermeister Central, aka Burnley Football Club, who with each week seem to be appearing on my timeline with 'tackles' that are half taking off the feet or legs of their opponents. I look forward [...]
