Those of a certain religious persuasion would probably use the following phrase to discuss the now (thankfully) ended transfer MegaLull, when it comes to Arsenal players' performances: The Good Lord Giveth, and he taketh away. The 'Taketh away' bit is, of course, the injuries to Havertz, then Tzolis, then Konsa too, who I haven't mentioned this [...]
We had ourselves some Arsenal goalscorers again last night and, just as I'd hoped for, Big Vik was once again in amongst it. It was another proper tap-in poachers goal, but at this point, I don't think we want to look any kind of gift horse in the mouth, because he's going to be our [...]
Up until yesterday I think I’d watched about two minutes of international football, but for some reason, I decided I might as well put the football on in the background in the kitchen of the Mother-In-Laws house last night. I’m glad I did, because it was a superb game of football, and Saka was brilliant [...]
Well it sounds like Kai Havertz is going to be out for three to four weeks with his hamstring injury, if some of the noises from the socials are to be believed. If that has been confirmed by the club, if it is three weeks, say, then we're looking at him being back by 24th [...]
England bagged a win away at the Czech Republic yesterday, with Bukayo Saka and Myles Lewis-Skelly in the starting lineup, and having obviously not bothered to watch the game, I was hoping to see that Bukayo had a decent performance. I've spoken already about how he's been doing ok this season, bagged some goals, but [...]
So, who survived the latest round of international torture, eh? I was making food for dinner last night, and I heard Sky Sports say that after Alexander Isak was sent home because of a minor injury, Cody Gakpo has now also been sent home for Liverpool, which means their front line is starting to look [...]
We're not even a full week into this extended and, frankly, f*cking annoying international foreverness, and we've already got a reason to say piss off to it. Honestly, this is why we seem to get more annoyed by international breaks than anyone else, because it feels like every time we have one, there's an Arsenal [...]
Morning, boys and girls, hope you're all well. Yesterday I was waxing lyrical about Mikel Arteta's new deal, and in that blog I talked about how we need to start looking at Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice next. Well, wouldn't you just know it, but Tuesday and yesterday's news started emerging about just that. Declan [...]
I don't know about you, but given what happened last weekend, I was hoping that the desire to talk about something else - even England - would have kicked in a little more by now. I'm going to try to give it a go, but whether I'll be able to hit my normal 1,000 words [...]
I know we're playing later, so this schadenfreude might age like four-day-old milk being left out on the back patio in summer, but man, it's funny to laugh at Chelsea. I was doing other things last night, so I only checked in and out on the game, but seeing them drop a 3-0 away to Brentford [...]
