I think I can speak for most Arsenal fans this morning when I say: International football can get in the f*cking bin. And then that bin can be thrown in the sea. Because you - like me I am sure - will be pretty cheesed off about the Martin Odegaard injury last night. He landed [...]
On Saturday I said that Riccardo should be on the first flight back to London after the knock he sustained on Friday night playing for Italy. That wish has been granted, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that they didn't want to take any risks with him and that's why he won't be playing in their game [...]
Ahh man it's a barren football wasteland out there right now. There is absolutely nothing anybody can say that would convince me that tonight's match between the Republic of Ireland and England is one worth getting invested in. I'm up in Northumberland and the Management's uncle is a Newcastle and England fan, so he'll probably [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing, eh? I'm on me travels again today, this time heading up to Northumberland to see The Management's family for the weekend, which is good really because it coincides with this interminable international break, so I can be fully 'present' and not distracted for a solid four hours for the [...]
Morning folks. With the intolerable international break still in swing, there is ZERO real football to talk about. Quite why, having just had an international tournament in the summer just a couple of months back, we have to send players away for a fortnight is beyond me. And to cap it all off, other players [...]
With all of the furore with the Brihgton game, with it happening so soon after the transfer window shut last Friday, I realised I'd barley even had time to properly think a out the fact that Arsenal had signed Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on what we all know is a super deal for the club. [...]
Morning folks. How we all doing on this Monday morning? Still reeling from the weekend? At least the defeat by The Scum and humbling United took gives a little crumb of humour to proceedings. When you can't revel in your own glory, do it in the failings of others, eh? What that does do after [...]
No matter how much I might try to today, there is absolutely no way of looking at that game yesterday any other way than through the lens of that 49th minute ‘incident’ featuring Veltman and Rice. As you will already know, on a yellow, Rice and Veltman came together by the corner flag and a [...]
What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]
Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]
