It's a new week, the football is now all officially over for last season after the Champions League on Saturday night (I don't consider the Club World Cup as football - it's a FIFA money-spinning exercise) and the transfer window officially opened yesterday. It's open only for the clubs who are part of the national [...]
I didn't watch the Champions League final last night. I'm in Yorkshire with some of The Management's family over from New Zealand and we're doing a little bit of a holiday and, frankly, I didn't want to spoil it by watching a game that I feel we could/should have been in. Give me an Arsenal [...]
No, I'm not talking about my old Pal Ben who I used to do the podcast with years and years ago! I'm talking about Benjamin Sesko dammit! He's my Dapper Dan Man and the one I've had the hots for, for quite some time as you'll know if you're a regular reader. And yesterday, just to [...]
Here was me getting all hot under the collar over Gyokeres and Sesko yesterday, whilst all along Arsenal were making their moves for a certain Martin Zubimendi behind closed doors. I should start talking about left backs. Maybe that'll be enough reverse-jinx for us to do a striker deal in the next 48 hours... The [...]
It's funny, because I do this every season, but I forget that this time of the year is the worst when it comes to the football period. If your team isn't successful, that is, because it all feels a little barren. In about a week or two's time, the euphoria from other fans has warn off [...]
Yesterday The Arsenal Women had a trophy lift session at The Emirates and I have to say, it was some really positive #content for us to watch and re-watch, after a difficult season for the Men's team. And if you think about it, it has also been difficult for the women too; they didn't start [...]
So we have another one added to the list, as Saliba has been confirmed as injured for the last game of the season. The reality is that it doesn't matter, as unless City win their last game by about six goals and we lose by a two goal margin or something similar, we're most likely [...]
I basically refuse to acknowledge there is any football going on from now until August 16th when the new Premier League season kicks off. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. It's all about the transfer window and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. The press is full of talk of strikers and if Arsenal value anything of the health of its [...]
You know it's funny, I get so focus and insular on Arsenal and improvements that we make, that I forget that other teams will also be making efforts to improve their squad in the summer. I didn't watch the Brighton-Liverpool game, but I saw that Arne Slot was doing his bit to stoke the transfer [...]
That wasn't the most fun afternoon watching of football that we had yesterday, but the requirement was to get the job done and, by the time the full time whistle had gone after that silly VAR check, ultimately that was what happened. A 1-0 win against a decent Newcastle side who will most likely be [...]
