Morning all and welcome to Tuesday, which is unsurprisingly being billed as "a nation expects" this evening in England with my birth country playing against David Ospina's lads of Colombia. The fact I'm opening with the World Cup and not the fact we finally, formally, announced the arrival of Sokratis from Dortmund for around £15million [...]
Holiday over for me, a week in the sun of Italy and wouldn't you know it, they're not really making a big deal of the competition in Naples? Huh, who'd have thunk it? I could probably talk to you about all of the different Arsenal-related stuff that has gone on whilst I'm away but no [...]
Sometimes it's comforting to know that things don't always change. I'll be honest with you; after Germany lost to Mexico in their opening group game at the weekend for the first time in like a billion years, then England had a first half in which they played brilliantly by-and-large, I thought we must have been [...]
Yesterday felt like the first proper 'World Cup' day for me, as I managed to catch at least two and a half of the three games on TV, in between a Father's Day BBQ in classic British overcast weather. What we were treated to was certainly a bit of surprise and with Germany going 'Full [...]
The World Cup is now we'll and truly underway and despite the fact I've only really watched bits and pieces so far - because of a busy weekend for me in the real world - there's already been plenty to talk about and that's certainly a good thing. On Friday night I watched the second [...]
In this past week I've talked about the importance of momentum, about how when we've even been anywhere near the top of the league at any stage, it's been because we've had a good start to the season and that has carried through until at least the midway point. Yesterday I talked about it being [...]
Today is quite a big day in Unai Emery's Arsenal career, if you think about it, because in just over an hours time from me penning today's thoughts the Premier League fixtures will be out and we'll know whether he has been granted an opportunity to play a series of 'winnable' games or whether he's [...]
World Cup week is upon us and that means we have something else we'll be able to talk about for a whole month, enabling us to detach ourselves from the drivel that cones from the click-bait nonsense that the media want to serve up to us like the ad revenue hungry so-and-so's that they are. [...]
Well it seems Rambo is getting the positive vibes following the appointment of our new man Emery. He's been talking after a pointless game for Wales in the US against Mexico and said he 'can't wait' to get back to Arsenal to see how this exciting new era starts. We all feel the same Aaron. [...]
Happy Saturday folks. Hope it's a good one for you? Mine has been good so far. Woken up with a mini hangover. You know the type of hangover where you're a little tired, but not feeling like death warmed up? Yep, that kind of hangover, which I don't mind too much. So now I'm sat [...]
