I didn't get a good night's sleep last night. Why? Because I was deliberating over whether or not to even apply for the ballot for the Champions League final. How mental is that? I am a season ticket holder. I have been going for decades and have been a season ticket holder for nearly two [...]
There are nights that you remember for the rest of your life. Last night was one of them. In anyone's life, there are lots and lots of things that change. School, job, friends, where you live, your health, your money situation - loads. But some things are constant. For me, my family is obviously the [...]
I’ll be honest, I had ‘hopes’ that Everton could get something at home to 115 Charges FC, but I don’t think there was much expectation there. City were on a good run of form, they’ve wine their last three Premier League games, as well as beating us in the League Cup and getting to the [...]
We certainly saw some 'end of season' performances yesterday, eh? With Unai Emery going 'Full Unai' with his team ahead of their home game against Forest on Thursday, Villa put in the kind of performance you expect from an end-of-season team that really are mentally on the beach. That was frustrating from an Arsenal fan [...]
I don't really feel I can start anywhere else today other than the third - and what should have been the final penalty call on the night - was given/not given. I don't understand. I am really glad that Mikel Arteta said he was infuriated with the decision, because what I saw last was a [...]
I almost feel guilty for what I am about to write. I don't really feel massively nervous about tonight. It almost feels like a League Cup game. I suspect it is because I've been battered and bruised by the Premier League campaign that the Premier League is the 'one I want' the most, coupled with [...]
It seems there's a bit of a fixture argument going on with Man City. Well, not so much an argument, but rather a 'discussion', if the reports are to be believed, for which City wants to play Bournemouth in their rearranged fixture slot before Palace. I didn't really understand the significance of that until I [...]
In terms of the actual result and end product, last night's 0-0 draw against Sporting Lisbon on our own patch, will hardly go down as 'one for the ages'. I used to collect the match-day programmes back when I was a kid. It was usually for big games I'd ask for one (FA Cup final, [...]
I need to obviously talk about this massive game against Sporting Lisbon tonight at The Emirates, but before I do that, I just need to tell you about a dream I had last night. We had to play Jack Wilshere's Luton Town in the Premier League, which was a prize they won for winning the [...]
I am still down after last weekend. A little more time between now and the result has helped, but not by a lot, I must admit. I think my biggest issue is that I am worried that nothing will change in a short period of time. As I said to somebody in the comments from [...]
