Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were yesterday confirmed as being two of the top 'something-or-other' on the Balloon D'or awards yesterday, with the competition once again being won by Messi in what is football's biggest popularity contest. I'm pleased for Bukayo and Martin to get the accolades for their performance, but the competition in itself [...]
Given that Arsenal played on Saturday, I did something I don't always normally do, in watching the other kick offs that were on Sky Sports yesterday. Usually when Arsenal aren't on, I'll find something else to do with The Management and as a result I'm not usually by a TV, but yesterday I was hanging [...]
“You’ll batter us today” was the quote I heard as I ordered my first pint yesterday. A Sheffield United fan had travelled down from Yorkshire with his mates and they had come for a day out rather than any expectation of an upset. Naturally my response was measured; a few pleasantries about never knowing and [...]
It's matchday, it's a 3pm kick off, it's a home game. It's the most purest of English football things. All we need now is a win against Sheffield United, who sit routed to the bottom of the Premier League and despite the bad news given to us from Arteta yesterday, this is a game we [...]
Morning Gooners - a Happy Friday to you and yours. Matchday tomorrow at home to Sheffield United and it's the most glorious of things as well: a 3pm-er. Love it. I'll do a bit more tomorrow on line ups and Sheffield United and how they'll set up, but for now as we wait on Mikel [...]
Morning Gooners - we all good? It's a wet Thursday in London today and I'm sticking it out at home methinks - no sense in becoming a drowned rat travelling in to London. So what's going on in the world of football then, eh? Well first and foremost let's take a pause in utter astonishment [...]
You'll have to bear with me today on the usual ramblings, because it was the mother-in-laws birthday yesterday and the whole family was down from the north for a meal. I thought I'd be able to slink off for the second half but that was not the case, so today's perception on the game last [...]
Morning Gooners - happy matchday! We're back! FINALLY! And it's a tough one to get us back in to the swing of things, as I think this Chelsea team will be bang up for an upset this evening. Their season started off with a respectable draw against Liverpool at home and I watched that game. [...]
It's still pretty quiet after the international matches that were played last night and then in the early hours of this morning. Thomas Partey got 64 minutes for Ghana against the USA as they lost, with a goal for Flo Balogun for the USA the only other semi-Arsenal-related footnote in that game. I can't find [...]
Morning fellow Arsenal-supporting humans, how art thee today? It's Thursday, we've made it this far through the international boredom, but there's still another tedious week ahead of us and I for one am hoping it passes by in the blink of an eye. It is nice to keep reliving all of the content and #HotTakes [...]
