It's Wednesday, it's the start of a bit of a heatwave here in the UK, it's sure to be an announcement day today with Christian Norgaard expected to be announced as the latest Arsenal acquisition. Why? Because as we all saw on the socials yesterday, somebody snapped him arriving and getting his video done as [...]
Sometimes I love writing this blog. And I always love Arsenal football club. I'm proud of the way in which we - for the most part - do things properly. There's a class about Arsenal that has always been something that we, as fans, are proud of. Trophies are important, the stuff that happens on the [...]
Before I kick off any Arsenal-related musings today, I thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge and express my sadness at the Diogo Jota news yesterday. Very sad and sobering. At 28-year's old to lose your life is a tragedy in any walk of life. This was a man recently married, with a wife and [...]
I was asked an interesting question yesterday amidst a discussion yesterday about a project I might be involved in: Is Mikel Arteta the right man to take Arsenal to the title next season? It was one of those 'agree/disagree' things; you state your case thereafter, then debate with the fellow Arsenal fans that are in [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. It's another glorious day in London today, so I'm bringing my work stuff into the garden and do a proper old school "shall we take our workbooks outside, kids" situation for my working day. Screw it, life is too short. I wonder if that's how Mudryk is feeling today. [...]
That pointless tournament in America kicked off last night and did so with the kind of 'bang' I think most of us were hoping for: A boring 0-0 draw. I didn't watch it, but Sky Sports thrust it into my eye-line on their website this morning with a match review, whose highlights included "Messi hit [...]
It's a new week, the football is now all officially over for last season after the Champions League on Saturday night (I don't consider the Club World Cup as football - it's a FIFA money-spinning exercise) and the transfer window officially opened yesterday. It's open only for the clubs who are part of the national [...]
It's the big one tonight. The season-definer (until, maybe, next week in Paris), the one in which glory could be found like Madrid at home, or gut punch can be received, like the home defeat to Man United within the first few minutes in 2009. Arteta knows he will need the home support to replicate [...]
Tis' a curious thing, is hope. Whether you have your dosage delivered high, or whether yours is barely discernible to the naked eye, it can lead to a whole spectrum of different actions and emotions in humans. Take the Real Madrid fans and media right now; they are talking up anything and everything to suggest [...]
Well, well, well. Did I not expect that. Wowsers. I mean, I knew that Real Madrid were ‘getable’. I knew they had weaknesses. I knew that they had issues at full back and that’s where we, as a team, tend to excel with the personnel that we have. But still…this is Real Madrid. A team [...]
