Morning folks and welcome to another Friday. I was going to say 'Lockdown Friday' but I don't think we're still in Lockdown, are we? I don't know exactly when it changed, it seemed to seep into whatever this hybrid between Lockdown and normality is, but anyway, happy 'Whatever it is' to you and your kin. [...]
This is going to be a fun blog to write today, because The Arsenal, we won the bloody cup! I am a happy man. Last season I felt broken after that Europa League final. It really hit me hard and had knock in effects this season, even affecting my ability to become optimistic and hopeful [...]
It’s cup final day and I am a very nervous man. Today’s game isn’t just the last game of the season, it isn’t just about a shiny silver trinket, it is also a financially and footballisticly significant crossroads the club finds itself in. I so desperately want us to win the FA Cup today. But [...]
I don't really know in which direction to go with for today's Friday musings. I feel like it's a little to early to go full match preview and start talking about the game tomorrow and, as I've already talked about how I'm feeling and how nervous I am, as well as how many weird nervous [...]
The best part about yesterday's 3-2 victory over Watford was when Mike Dean put his whistle to his lips and called time on this latest Premier League season. I have been on this earth for 37-and-a-half years and as far as I can remember this has been one of the worst that I've had to [...]
Well if that wasn't the crappy Yin to last weekend's fantastic Yang... Are we not allowed to have nice things? Are we not allowed to bask in the glory of a really resolute and fantastic performance? Because it feels like it with this Arsenal side. As brilliant as they were against Man City, yesterday they were as [...]
Morning people. And what a good morning it is, because we’re waking up today knowing we’re into another FA Cup Final and, unbelievably, it was done by a performance which showed a level of grit and determination that Arsenal have rarely shown in modern times. Yep, it was ‘backs to the wall’ Arsenal who beat [...]
Well knock me down with a feather duster, I did not see that result coming, not in the slightest. A 2-1- home win against the champions and a game that I like to call a classic 'Champ Man Skanking'. If you're old enough to have played Championship Manager in the 90s and early 2000s you'll [...]
I don't know whether it is the sheer volume of games coming thick and fast, or the inner acceptance I have that this is just the second of what could be three pretty uncomfortable football watching evenings, but I'm really not feeling tonight. Therefore by association, I don't have the same match day jitters that [...]
Arsenal be 'Arsenalling'. And yesterday's 2-1- defeat to that scummy lot from round the corner was about as 'Arsenalling' as you can get. This is a weird one this morning because in the cold light of day I'm not as angry as I thought I'd be. In fact, I've seen a few positives that can [...]
