It's a wet and windy Friday in London. If they didn't earn thousands of pounds literally per hour, I'd almost feel sorry for the players going out and training in this up and down the land. But they gotta do their job, like all of us do. And whilst this (blogging) isn't exactly a 'job' (certainly [...]
So it looks like Pantomime Villain FC finally came-a-cropper in a game last night, as PSG smashed them on their own patch 4-2. Lovely stuff. It's a shame that Man City have a three-point banker with a home game to Ipswich at the weekend, because it would be nice to see how they respond to [...]
The second that Chris Kavanagh produced the second yellow card from Gravenberch to effectively end the contest (even though it was still 0-0 at the time), I switched the football off and watched the remainder of Kung Fu Panda 3. There was no point in continuing to watch that farce that was on display. Playing [...]
Yesterday I think none of us were really that surprised with the type of game we got, as Leeds came to town with an identity, and that identity translated exactly onto the pitch as I talked about in yesterday's pre-match blog. They are a strong team. They are a physical team. They press intensively. They [...]
FINALLY! MATCHDAY! And it's Leeds United for The Arsenal for the early kick-off today, which means I'll be dumping these thoughts on here, going for a quick run, then making my way straight to Highbury for a pre-match warm-up with my mate Steve. These early ones are funny, I find, because they're usually a little [...]
Those of a certain religious persuasion would probably use the following phrase to discuss the now (thankfully) ended transfer MegaLull, when it comes to Arsenal players' performances: The Good Lord Giveth, and he taketh away. The 'Taketh away' bit is, of course, the injuries to Havertz, then Tzolis, then Konsa too, who I haven't mentioned this [...]
Well it sounds like Kai Havertz is going to be out for three to four weeks with his hamstring injury, if some of the noises from the socials are to be believed. If that has been confirmed by the club, if it is three weeks, say, then we're looking at him being back by 24th [...]
This Man City stuff is going to dominate the headlines for a while yet, isn't it? Especially given that the City higher-ups are showing no contrition, no remorse, and instead are doubling down on their situation. Their latest 'lever' to pull is to get Etihad Airways involved, who are briefing to the press that they [...]
Right...so...this is an Arsenal blog, yeah? And I talk about The Arsenal on here and try to avoid going in too deep on other teams. But after the news emerged yesterday from David Ornstein that Manchester City have been found guilty of 114 of 115 charges, with an appeal set to take place (inevitably), I [...]
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 [...]
