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 [...]
The news broke that we kind of already knew yesterday, but it was still important and lovely to read nonetheless: Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with The Arsenal This is fantastic news. Yes, everyone was 'calma' about it at The Arsenal; the journos 'in the know' were all saying it is pretty much [...]
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 [...]
We had ourselves some Arsenal goalscorers again last night and, just as I'd hoped for, Big Vik was once again in amongst it. It was another proper tap-in poachers goal, but at this point, I don't think we want to look any kind of gift horse in the mouth, because he's going to be our [...]
I would call myself an occasional 'follower' of the Arsenal Women. I want them to do well; I'll switch on the games if they are on TV, and I hope they can get it together and win trophies. It is The Arsenal, after all. But I wouldn't profess to call myself an expert on The [...]
Up until yesterday I think I’d watched about two minutes of international football, but for some reason, I decided I might as well put the football on in the background in the kitchen of the Mother-In-Laws house last night. I’m glad I did, because it was a superb game of football, and Saka was brilliant [...]
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 [...]
