I watched the City-Liverpool game unfold with intrigue yesterday. At the beginning of the day, in my head, this was very much a 'we can't lose either way' kind of feeling. A draw means both teams drop points. A Liverpool win means we're still five off them. A City win, whilst the least palatable, would [...]
We're nearly there folks. International football is nearly in our rear view mirror. Well, for at least month, that is. But it appears on face value as though this latest round of games as been positive, so let's run through who did what, shall we? Starting off with the mid-morning kick off our time with [...]
I think we're going to get to the point in which, despite having stockpiled a billion players over the summer, this squad is soon going to start looking thin. Such is the curse with injuries we are getting, with Odegaard now rumoured to be out until after the next international break in November, that if [...]
The Arsenal Women provided the dosage of Arsenal football for many Gooners yesterday, albeit through the lens of a somewhat underwhelming 1-0 win over Brighton at home I hear. I say that mainly because I was out and about so couldn't watch the game, but I kept track on my phone and with Chelsea already [...]
How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]
Morning folks - happy Saturday n all that Jazz. Well, probs not for poor ol' Viktor Gyokeres, whose Sweden side were beaten 2-0 by a Granit Xhaka-fuelled SWitzerland side at home yesterday evening. I had a little look on Sofascore at how he got on and they rated him as a 7.2, so he can't [...]
Happy Friday folks! I've not been drinking for a few weeks and, unlike when I set myself one of those 'don't drink for a calendar month' jobbies, this time around I just did it midway through the month after I got back from Greece and I found the first couple of week's really easy. They [...]
With the Interlull tedium now fully enveloping us all, as I was on my morning run, I was thinking about "what are the best possible outcomes for The Arsenal for this upcoming international break/weekend?" I have concluded that the following would be rather nice: Calafiori's legs don't implode Last season it felt like every time Riccardo [...]
Is it safe to come out? Did every Arsenal player make it out in one piece? It sounds like it to me. Even in the early hours of the morning with the Brazil game, mercifully Big Gabi and Martinelli were both unused subs, as the Selecao went on to lose 1-0 away to Bolivia. That sounds [...]
Given that we play them at home at the weekend, I really hope that Forest's decision to sack Nuno Espirito Santo in the early hours of this morning have a destabilising effect on them for when they rock up at the Emirates on Saturday lunchtime. Let's hope that it doesn't galvanise them and we can [...]
