I was driving back from the parents' place yesterday morning, before getting on with a day of work, so didn't have time to pen some post thoughts two days after the 0-0 against Everton. What I would have said yesterday, however, was that I was still grumpy about that game. It's games like that when [...]
That Fylham game still rankles me, you know, because it feels like even if we'd have sneaked by with a 2-1 and that goal at the end of the game that was chalked off for VAR would have stood, we'd be in a pretty decent position right now. We'd be on a winning streak in [...]
That, eventually, was a jolly nice evening in the end. Don’t get me wrong, we had some perceived wobbles at times and particularly in the first half of yesterday’s ‘scoreline’ hammering of Monaco, we looked like that might be one of those “we’re going to regret missing our chances aren’t we?” kind of games. But [...]
I said it in the aftermath of Friday's press conferences, that Fulham feels a little more difficult than when we looked at this run of games pre-international break, but I feel it even more this morning: This is going to be hard today. Fulham are decent at home. Four wins, one draw and two defeats [...]
Yesterday I did a bit of a look at West Ham, but with Arteta and Lopetegui having their press conferences yesterday, we have a little more detail and I think I'll obviously focus a little more on us today. But before that, the West Ham team news, which Lopetegui talked about alongside handing our a [...]
It's the first of four away ones tonight and I don't think you'll get many Arsenal fans arguing the toss over this one being the bottom of the pecking order in terms of 'must win' priorities. Preston away and the League Cup is a 'nice to have' and whilst Mikel Arteta was keen to stress [...]
All eyes will be on London Colney this morning as we all collectively pray for some happy news from Mikel's press conference. We won't of course get anything concrete, but that doesn't stop us getting all hopeful and slightly frustrated when he goes all cryptic, as he always does. It's not like when players are [...]
Spent the weekend at an AirBnB which had it's own sauna, cinema room, jacuzzi and pool this weekend, so when I woke up yesterday having watched the game on m iPad, I couldn't really be arsed to pen any thoughts. Why ruin a perfect Sunday ahead by re-living the memory, eh? A new week also [...]
Ok so it looks like Rice is safe from injury, following playing (and scoring) last night in the England game against Finland. I didn't bother watching it, I wasn't interested in it, I've just checked in to see the score and see some of the goals and Rice's one was a classic lung-buster from our [...]
Morning folks - here we are at another match day and this time we kick off our League Cup campaign - a home tie against Bolton Wanderers and, I think the key question all of us want answered for this evening's game is: How many first team players are going to be rested tonight? Because [...]
