That was not great, was it? I found a way to watch the game last night against Real Betis, and by the time I'd switched over to watch Live at the Apollo at about 9.45pm, I'd kind of wish I hadn't bothered. Now, what we all have to say is that it is a friendly, so [...]
We have some actual football to chew over and, I tell you what, there were some great finishes yesterday as Arsenal beat Girona 4-1. I liked Dowman's performance, who assisted for Kai's smart finish, then also bagged a good effort from the edge of the box. For all the talk of new signings, yesterday was [...]
So England booked their place in the Semi Final last night, and I have to say, Jude Bellingham is showing every bit the star power you'd expect from a Real Madrid Galactico. Are we still calling them that these days? Regardless, his two goals were enough, on a night in which two teams duked it [...]
I don't think any of us, deep down, thought that yesterday's victory over Burnley would be the absolute drubbing that we wanted. Sure, Burnley are crap, sure, they're relegated and have little to play for, but this Arsenal team seems to be masters of making life difficult. And so it proved yesterday. And yet, in [...]
I have aged. How is this becoming MORE stressful each week? How on earth are we STILL being put through the wringer? Honestly, my nerves are shot to pieces. My heart rate has been getting up to cardio-load levels during games. Then, when you have an ending like that yesterday, it goes up a notch [...]
There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone's life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation - loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the [...]
Ahh man, I have a stinking hangover this morning, all caused by The Arsenal. I'm in Portugal and, to try to completely forget about the stress of football, I asked the parents and The Management if we could go out and have a lovely lunchtime meal in Tavira, where my parents' place is. They obliged. [...]
I don't really feel I can start anywhere else today other than the third - and what should have been the final penalty call on the night - was given/not given. I don't understand. I am really glad that Mikel Arteta said he was infuriated with the decision, because what I saw last was a [...]
I would be lying if I said to you that I enjoyed that game yesterday. In fact, I don't think there is a Gooner on this planet who would have felt that satisfying. And yet, earlier in the season, when we beat Palace 1-0 with Eze scoring the winner in a tightly contested game, my [...]
In terms of the actual result and end product, last night's 0-0 draw against Sporting Lisbon on our own patch, will hardly go down as 'one for the ages'. I used to collect the match-day programmes back when I was a kid. It was usually for big games I'd ask for one (FA Cup final, [...]
