Well we don't half make life hard for ourselves, don't we? I mean this was a Reading team who were 18th in the Championship, with a season of inconsistent performances, but very little to play for other than this game and so I suppose this was always going to be a little bit more difficult [...]
If I was to try to to do the keyword tagging and search engine optmisation of the Arsenal team manifested in physical form today, the one word I would lace throughout any team talk or mindset or thoughts going through each players mind would be: concentration, non-complacency. These are the two things that we must [...]
It's nearly here folks, time is almost upon us and although it's not the FA Cup final but the seminar Wembley, I'm still mega excited. Imagine what I'll be like tomorrow when it actually comes around to kick off?We have already had the prologue from Arsène; possibly eager to cocoon the players in a hotel [...]
It's the waiting that kills ya, I'll tell ya that much, because this working week has already dragged and it's only Wednesday.With no Arsenal on during midweek, the footballing options were limited to listening in on how the Championship is going, versus enduring the Champions League. With no Arsenal representation there, there's no way I'd [...]
With all the hubbub surrounding our win against Burnley, followed by the hope killed by another Chelski scabbing of three points at the hands of a goalkeeper, I haven't even thought about the defeat of the Spuds to an Aston Villa team managed by Mr Gilet and all-round footballing genius Tim Sherwood. Super Timmy's charges [...]
I don't know who angered the gods yesterday, but Britain seems to have woken up to an angry Mother Nature, hell-bent on ruining haircuts and spraying plastic bags across roads today. It's got more bluster than Jose himself. Scary indeed.It was probably another Chelski fan sacrificing an innocent animals life, then eating the remains raw, [...]
Arsenal winning the Premier League this season is about as possible as a solar eclipse...It's Friday, we're all hopefully feeling fine and good, plus we've got plenty of information that has been furnished on us from the club yesterday in the form of the pre-match presser from Le Boss.Arsène must have as much of an [...]
Bit of a delayed post from me today. I booked meself off for a day of rest, relaxation and recuperation with the missus, after running a half marathon yesterday. These ageing limbs certainly can't do what they did ten years ago, I can tell you.The after effects of said marathon can also be felt in [...]
Liverpool and Chelski out, City all but gone against Barca and Arsenal remain the only hope for British success in the Champions League.How did that happen?I'm not complaining though. Certainly not as much as Chelski players were, apparently, last night. I've seen plenty of friends comment on the antics of the West Londoners, but I'm [...]
I'm still buzzing about the result on Monday night. More so than I thought I'd be actually. Probably more so because I know there's a Wembley semi final that lies in wait and, although we can't be presumptive enough to assume we'll waltz our way into the final (see Wigan last season as a case [...]
