Last night I had a dream about the Tiny Totts. I know, more like a nightmare, but it was to do with a new tactic that Pochettino has adopted. A cunning and devious tactic that yet again flouted the rules of football. You see, not content with clearly instructed his teams to cheat by diving [...]
Some thoughts on appreciating Arsène’s early work at the club, whilst still wanting change, with a new manager
It was a fair few years ago now that our Head of Academy Development (of variation of job title thereof) coined the phrase 'automatisms' in an interview when talking about the little partnerships and bits that 'click' within a component parts of a team, but that's what has me thinking this morning. Specifically after we [...]
When The Management walked into the lounge yesterday at around 4pm and asked "how did they get on?" In reference to Arsenal's dismal 2-1 defeat away to Brighton, I think she was a little taken aback by my nonchalant "they lost. Meh. Do you fancy watching Blade Runner?" response. Her response pretty much summed it [...]
I find it very interesting how the narrative from Arsène and some of the players, like Petr Cech, are finding time to talk up the brilliance of Man City. Don't get me wrong, they are clearly a cut above the rest, they clearly will win the league and clearly, we are nowhere on their level. [...]
Flipping heck it's cold. So very cold. Cold enough to freeze the soul. It's certainly not warm enough to survive without a boiler, which is what happened in our household last night. Let's just say that when you need to shower by boiling a kettle at 6am in the morning, you hardly feel set up [...]
Gee golly it's cold here in London. The deceptive cold. The cold that when you look outside from your windows you see beautiful sunshine and crisp white powder on the ground and think "how beautiful" but when you step outside and try to avoid the ice you think "how treacherous". That, plus the fact that [...]
I kept my own counsel yesterday with matters pertaining to The Arsenal, partly due to the nature of the defeat on Sunday, but also because I felt rough as an old pair of boots. Said 'roughness' was partially of my own doing; I wasn't really that well on Sunday but I decided I was going [...]
Well the 'historic quadruple' is now over for Man City and after the 'Invincible' tag was taken away thanks to Liverpool in the Premier League, the world is waking up to the realisation that City are in fact, quite human after all. Let's not get too excited for Sunday yet though, eh folks? I mean [...]
Morning folks. It's Monday, we've had to sit through a weekend of not only Arsenal-free football, but divey Tottenham Football and although I won't dwell on Alli and his wobbly legs, what I will say is that when you fail to appropriately chastise people, to punish people who cheat, they will keep on doing what [...]
