Morning folks (just). Provocative title from me today, perhaps, but let me explain my workings. I do want to get to some of the things Mikel Arteta said yesterday in his press conference ahead of the Liverpool game, but before that I thought I'd share something that I was pondering this morning as I was [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. It's been a weird ol' week for me as I had Tuesday off after a bank holiday Monday wedding and I'm off tomorrow celebrating my mum's birthday by taking her and the ol' man to Cologne for the weekend. So it barely feels like the week has started and [...]
Wednesday morning, the internal break hasn't even kicked off and I'm already bored of it. It's funny because when we lose I view the internationals as either a painfully slow creepy death in terms of football (i.e. you can't get 'back on the wagon' with a result), or a momentum killer (i.e. what happens if [...]
I saw a Tweet from a fellow Gooner last night that made me chuckle. It said that now was a perfect time for Arteta to announce that Willian is starting the next two curcial games, given that Harry and Meghan seemed to be dominating all online noise with their 'revelations' last night to Oprah. I'm [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another drab and grey day. It must be Mother Nature telling the footballing world that we've all had enough of it. The international breaks I mean. It still rumbles on but thankfully not for much longer and whilst some people still got suckered in by the prospect of seeing Thomas [...]
Well now, they've finally lost it at the Premier League and in trying to pump in crowd noise via the red button when the season restarts, we're going to have come to the last desperate grabs by the broadcasters to protect their 'product'. Selfishly I hope it bombs. That's because I'm one of the people [...]
So it appears we are on the verge of Tricky Micky Arteta re-joining the club as manager, of all of the noise it to be believed, as pretty much every media outlet is reporting it and has been doing so since last night. Here's the thing: I like Mikel Arteta. The noises that come from [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another interminable week of international nonsense before we get to next weekend and the return of the Premier League. What I always find fascinating about these breaks is not so much the football itself, but rather all the speculation that seems to be whipped up as a result of players [...]
Morning all. Hope you're feeling marvellous. Or as marvellous as you can do on a Wednesday morning. Today I've been thinking about Unai Emery, as well as the divisive nature of the Arsenal fan base. But also, the hypocrisy of some of us, and there is severe levels of it. This morning I had a [...]
They say that time is a healer, yet here I am about 16 hours after the diabolical performance at Molineux, still stewing on what was quite frankly an unacceptable Arsenal performance. I find myself with that one sentence - the title of today's blog - that keeps ringing in my mind and it brings me [...]
