Perhaps I should thank Gareth Southgate and the England team. I was starting to enjoy the Euro’s and international football in general, so good on him and his players to remind me just how turgid it is in general. Last night was the first proper snooze fest of the competition and it reminded me of [...]
Welp, the fixtures are out and the football karma gods clearly had a look at my plea for us to get a relatively serene start in terms of calibre of opposition, then kick that hope right in the nuts. That's because from 14th August until the beginning of October we have six football matches and [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing? Watch any of the Euro’s yesterday? I caught bits of it but missed the Scotland game. See what happens when you don’t have yer man Tierney on the pitch? Carnage. To be fair that second Czech Republic goal was a peach and we should thank Schick for also [...]
After the trauma of Saturday evening and what happened to Christian Eriksen, yesterday was back to football and dare I say it, it was actually a lot of fun to watch the matches I watched. I sat down just after lunch in my back garden and watched an England team that, for a change, didn't [...]
Today, I shall mostly be talking about: Right backs. Specifically in this instance our current right back Hector Bellerin, who it appears to be the worst kept secret that he will be leaving this summer and oddly, everyone with any kind of stake in Arsenal appears to be fine with. Isn’t it funny when a [...]
Happy Wednesday to thee, fellow Gooner. Today I am wearing the new yellow away jersey to work. Because I can. And I must say I love the colour, the nod to the past with the cannon (sigh, yes, I know the cannon is the wrong way, but I still love it) as well as the [...]
So it appears that we are now in full swing for transfer nonsense time, with today's instalment including our Swiss centre midfielder who really does seem to divide opinions. So many people can't look beyond the lack of pace, his mistakes and occasional hot-headedness, as well as some of the other issues like the Palace [...]
Seeing Unai Emery lift the Europa League Trophy for the fourth time last night, having been to five finals, I couldn't help but wonder: "Are Arsenal ACTUALLY cusrsed in Europe?" This might sound like a bit of a lamenting blog this morning but honestly I am offering up a wry smile as I write it. [...]
Well, it's finally over1 Hip hip hooray! We are free of this wretched season and, in the end, it was at least pleasing to see some fans in the ground cheering on what turned out to be a pretty routine Arsenal win against Brighton on the final day. We didn't get exactly what we wanted [...]
Morning folks and happy Friday to you and yours. Hope you've been basking the relentless pursuit of victory that Arsenal now seem to have decided on embarking on. Wins against Palace, Chelski, West Brom and Newcastle means that bizarrely (and potentially unfortunately), we see an opportunity for Arsenal to potentially be playing football in the [...]
