I don't like having to write thoughts like this after a game like yesterday, but you can't exactly call yourself a daily blogger, if you tap out when you have to endure performances like yesterday. Because tapping out was pretty much what the players did against Man City, wasn't it? That was a shameful performance. [...]
I've been doing a bit of the old Christmas boozing of late, so have had a few days away from composing some morning thoughts, but I find myself in a bit of need to talk about Arsenal again this morning, because today's game against City really is a massive one. As expected, Chelski picked up [...]
Yesterday I said that Arsenal needed to nullify the threat of Lukaku in order to secure the points away to Everton. What I neglected to mention is that they also needed to put in the required performance to deserve a victory. Perhaps I've taken that for granted recently. We'd been unbeaten since the start of [...]
Monday's do suck sometimes, don't they? Usually when you don't feel at your fighting best and after a lovely relaxing evening with The Management, complete with a bit of booze and Christmas turkey and crackers, I find myself a little achey and tired as I begin today's travel to work. Gawd only knows how footballers [...]
Good ol' Arsène and his Thursday press conferences. They make compiling my thoughts so much easier, especially when there's a Saturday game, because it means I can talk about what he said at the presser on the Thursday, then focus on being apprehensive about the game on the Saturday. Sunday then becomes a true day [...]
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but my journey to and from work swings me by Wembley Park and yesterday, it was unusually busy. It was only after almost everyone got off at the national stadium that I realised that the Spuds were having a leaving party! Apparently there were a few empty [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety. Welly, welly, welly. Wellington. Wellington. Wellington. Didn't expect that from the last round of Champions League matches in our group, did we? No-siree we didn't. But we got what I think Arsène had described as a 'small miracle' and both the Arsenal team put out yesterday, as well as the Ludogorets team [...]
When I unlocked my phone yesterday on the tube home, I hoped to read stories on the official site about "the strength of the squad" or how one or two players "have been unlucky not to play more football" so far this season. I didn't expect to read about how the squad travelling to Switzerland [...]
Well, that was an interesting turn up for the books yesterday, with Liverpool and United dropping points, wasn't it? I don't think many would have predicted that, particularly the Scousers, but I'm glad that both events happened. United's draw because it means they are slowly falling away from the top four chasing pack with these [...]
Yesterday evening I didn't get to watch the game as I was out with The Management doing other things; like enjoying myself. I think it's fair to say I've dodged a bullet on that one because by all accounts, it didn't make for fun viewing and had I spent some of my hard-earned cash to [...]
