I don't know about you, but when I get towards the end of the season, depending on how Arsenal are playing, it always feels like a bit of a slog when it gets to each match day. That's where the start of the season is always so much more enjoyable, because at this early stage [...]
Back in Blighty, back on my usual commute to work, but thankfully, also back in to the swing of all things Arsenal and there'll be no time to waste before we're off again, with the small matter of French Champions Paris Saint Germain to contend with. I'd imagine that there will be a presser at [...]
Sometimes the arrival at a destination is more important than the journey. Which is what football feels like sometimes and yesterday was one of those times, as we laboured terribly to a victory over an organised Southampton team who remained disciplined in their shape. Yesterday's game was like a really crappy journey to a holiday [...]
Ahh match day, that sweetest of things and whilst I can't make the game itself today because of my current location, I still feel the same levels of excitement when it comes around. Southampton at the Emirates for a 3pm kick off means I'll be watching from an Irish bar in the Algarve, with a [...]
I thought it was just me going a little mad, what with all of this warmth and sun I'm getting on the Algarve, but it appears the world is going a little bonkers this morning too. Let's start with the news that Niklas Bendtner is on the verge of signing for Nottingham Forest. Eh??? The [...]
Hello hello fellow gooner. Happy Tuesday to you. I hope you're getting through this international malaise by entertaining yourself with many enjoyable things. Like ham. Ham is a glorious thing, especially when it's thick-cut, so if you're a fan of the hog you should definitely eat and enjoy ham. As you've probably already guessed, there's [...]
Happy Monday to you and yours. I hope it's a good one. The Algarve remains blisteringly hot and I've taken to eating peaches for breakfast. Speaking of peaches, it was an absolute one which saw Shkodran Mustafi be an unused sub for their 3-0 away victory against Norway yesterday, wasn't it? It would just feel [...]
I didn't get to watch the Arsenal Legends vs Milan Glorie yesterday afternoon, as I was out and about in Portugal with The Management, but I've had a look at the highlights on the official site and I must say, I was quite impressed with the standard of play that was on show from both [...]
I wake up on this fine Saturday morning in Portugal, to the news that none other than the Flamster himself, might be making a return to the Premier League in the shape of joining Crystal Palace on a free. Fair play to the guy I suppose, because he's still looking for a club and if [...]
In Portugal at the moment, so yesterday was spent travelling to a place of sunnier climes than my normal London base. Wrote this yesterday and am only now getting the chance to post today, but I still think a lot of what I said is relevant, hence re-posting now. Catch y'all tomorrow with another round [...]
