Big news coming out yesterday evening from Bolton, with Rob Holding set to sign for over £2million, eh? As usual, my timeline on Twitter was filled with varying degrees of 'meh', but the reality is that Arsenal have always made these kind of signings under Arsène. They're sort of the standard model for Le Boss [...]
Howdy howdy fellow Gooners, hopefully you're enjoying what has been of your Saturday so far. Can I make a bit of a confession? I seem to be one of the few people on the planet who finds the whole Iceland hand slapping chant a little bit awkward and uncomfortable, when done by anyone else other [...]
Watching Germany last night had a very familiar feel to it, as an Arsenal fan, I must say. Plenty of possession, control of the ball in the most part, finding it difficult to break down the opposition, then when you do you come across a 'keeper who decides he's going to have a 'worldie'. So [...]
So the Welsh dragon had its wings clipped and its fire doused yesterday, by the Portuguese who were it not for Ronaldo, would probably be liked by a lot more neutrals. That guy really is a narcissistic tosser, isn't he? I mean just look at that self-gratifying celebration where he turns around to show his [...]
It's amazing what little actually goes on, football-wise, in the summer months and. Now that the number of games in the Euros is reduced to four to be played tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday. Yesterday was almost completely wiped out for me through illness, as I slept for most of the day, but it was [...]

I never would have guessed... So as I turn down my sarcasm filter, I think it's important to see just [...]
Yesterday I partook in some boating with the family, then I went to a quiz night which felt more like when my mum used to drag me along to her polymath evenings she did back when she was teaching, so I am very thankful that today's technology allowed me to watch Germany versus Italy instead [...]
Happy Friday friend. Hopefully you are looking forward to the weekend? I had a moment of weakness yesterday whilst watching Portugal against Poland. I thought "imagine if Lewandowski decided he didn't want to play in England and City, Chelski and United had all played their cards, leaving us open to going for him" and for [...]
The fallout from the Euro's is still continuing in Blighty and the papers are dominated with post-mortems on the future of the English national team and a new manager. In a way, as Elliott the Yankee Gunner intimated on his timeline, it's nice that there's a bit of a meltdown going on that doesn't involve Arsenal [...]
I've been up in the North East of the country at the weekend, which has meant travelling down south yesterday by far and only being able to catch the games on the radio, which inevitably meant that there were more goals and excitement in every half yesterday compared to the shower of the proverbial that [...]
