Happy Saturday folks. I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing you have something enjoyable planned. Me, I’m going to get myself out for a run, then I’m going to settle down to watch some football at home this afternoon, as the Management and the mother-in-law are in London watching Black Sabbath: The [...]
I'm going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it's party town history than it's football team, but there you go), but before [...]
We're back again for a match day and it's a tricky one in the shape of Simeone's Atletico Madrid who come to town looking to spoil our party and recent form by picking up three points in this horrible large-league format. Arteta knows that a win today would be a big one and with 15/16 [...]
Well now, that turned out to be a lovely ol' weekend of football we've just had, didn't it? It may not have been the most exciting game that we engaged with on Saturday night, but given how serenely we went about collecting our away points at Fulham, it was much preferred over the kamikaze way [...]
Here we go boys and girls - match day eight and the incentive is obvious and there for all to see: Top of the league by five points if we win away at Fulham. That hurdle is by no means an easy one to overcome however. indeed, we've failed to do so on our last [...]
I think we're going to get to the point in which, despite having stockpiled a billion players over the summer, this squad is soon going to start looking thin. Such is the curse with injuries we are getting, with Odegaard now rumoured to be out until after the next international break in November, that if [...]
How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]
I was too focused yesterday on what I wanted from the international break from an Arsenal perspective, that I didn't even talk about the stadium expansion that's been talked about for the last couple days, so as I try desperately to fill my thoughts and this blog on Arsenal stuff so I can avoid talking [...]
Happy Friday folks - how we all doing? Feeling pretty chipper after two wins this last week? Ready for a hopeful third tomorrow? I am. Not least because of what's happened in the last two season's against our opponent this weekend. It's been a feeling of Deja Vu in the last two season's against West Ham. Two [...]
It's funny how the rapid nature of football ('A week is a long time..' and all that) can work for you and against you, isn't it? I went to bed last night and as I started to drift off, I was thinking about what a big and positive result the game on Sunday was, because [...]
