Three goals, three points, an away win to the team currently first in Serie A, doing it with a rotated team, players in attack finding form. What’s not to like about yesterday’s 3-1 win at the San Siro? Before a ball was kicked, yesterday morning and afternoon, I was excited for this game. The reason [...]
I've already spoken about that gnawing frustration I felt after Saturday evening's disappointing 0-0 draw to Forest. I know I am not alone. Even Declan Rice had been snapped mouthing expletives at the final whistle, which I think we can all understand, because that's what a lot of us were feeling at the time. City slip [...]
I have a real sense of gnawing frustration this morning. I watched the United/City game, and I just assumed United would be pants and City cut our lead, not the other way around, so by the time kick off came for our game, I was buzzing. There's nothing like a Sean Dyche mid-block slog-fest to [...]
Happy Friday folks. It's a press conference one today, which means we'll get Arteta and Dyche having their say on the evening kick-off under the lights tomorrow as we travel up to the City Ground. And the nerves are starting to kick in for me, having had a week off and two cup games to [...]
Arsenal went to Stamford Bridge last night, to a Chelsea admittingly short of a fair few important players, and absolutely bossed them to take control of this League Cup two-legged semi-final. So why do I not feel completely sated this morning? I think it's probably the feeling that this tie could - and probably should [...]
I couldn't watch the game yesterday due to family commitments and a birthday celebration for The Management, which meant watching the game on replay and benefiting from knowing the result. It has its upside, in that you feel perfectly calm watching the game unfold, knowing that Arsenal have safely progressed and done so with plenty [...]
It's FA Cup action today for The Arsenal and after having a wee chuckle at the Tiny Totts (they were terrible in that first half so I'm glad I didn't bother with the second) yesterday evening as I was cooking, Arsenal need to get themselves a win at Fratton Park against Portsmouth. We've all spoken [...]
Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]
That was about as much fun as the weather last night. Arsenal had an opportunity to really lay down a marker against an injury-hit, beleaguered, and not really in form (despite what the ‘unbeaten run will tell you) Liverpool team. And they just didn’t take it. The opportunity was there, and no such marker was [...]
It's a watching brief for us today and this evening, with our game on tomorrow, but I'd be lying if I said I expected some kind of upset in Manchester. Brighton is a good team; they picked up a win in their last game, but their visits to some of the so-called 'big clubs' of [...]
